I will keep an eye on these postings now because something seems ...[text shortened]... ess with this person in the past and he came across straight up and down as far as I could tell.

Dasa needs to lighten up a bit. He is way too serious about lying science
and lying religion and animal killers who have changed the commandment
in the Holy Bible from "Thou shall not kill" to "kill abundantly" according to
him. He may get an ulcer if he doesn't stop worrying about the slaughter
of animals by the meat eaters and such. He needs to hear some funky
music and a few good jokes that will make him laugh. Got any ideas?

Are you positive about anything I post?

That doesn't answer my question which was: do you think Suzianne is 90% positive in what she posts? You have come out now and said something along the lines of Dasa's posts being 90% decent. Do you think Suzianne has a more or less decent persona than Dasa? You decided to actually quantify Dasa's 'positivity', so I am curious.

Didin't answer YOUR question? Give it a break man. You have never answered any of my questions. Maybe sometimes indirectly. But I have noticed you have decidedly tried your hardest not to answer any of my questions pertaining to "positive spirituality" or my attempts to reconcile our differences ( a few times).

So , again, give it a break. you can read into my posts what you want but it's not going to stick. Go on, have another go.

No, I didn't use the word "decent".

I wasn't comparing Suzianne to Dasa.

I was intrigued by the "serpent" comment
and the subsequent "Amen" , which is why I posted it.

I quantified Dasa's positivity as a percentile for myself. Yes, for me his op's were 90% positive. If you dont agree with this figure then just say so and tell me why. Why beat around the bush like this?

I really fail to see why you would totally come into my pithy little point and turn it into another Dasa witchhunt. He has been witchhunted by everyone, including yourself, but it is only you that would bring up the subject ,TOTALLY OUT OF CONTEXT , and butt into some else's post, with an obvious axe to grind and trying to use me as the wheel.
Well, I tell you ,buddy...friend, Take it elsewhere thanks.

Do you think Suzianne has a more or less decent persona than Dasa? You - rather oddly - decided to actually quantify Dasa's 'positivity' as "90%", so I am curious how your undisguised (albeit not particularly aggressive) hostility towards most Christians might handicap your ability to 'quantify' the decency of such posters.

You really would describe my measured and patient responses to Dasa's raw abuse and insulting assertions, my pointed refusal to reply in kind, my support for his freedom of speech, and my constant expressions of support for his right to believe what he wants to believe about himself, as a "witchhunt", even in the context of all the people who hurl abuse at him and would seek to actually silence him? You would describe my approach as a "witchhunt"? Are you being for real?

Whatever you want to call it - you have acknowledged what I'm talking about, which constitutes about 10% of my point there. Now perhaps you would like to address the rest.

(Remember, it is you who butted in with an unrelated topic. It is you, funnily enough , who has bought Dasa into the spotlight again.)

For over a year Dasa has been routinely describing members of this community as poisonous snakes, rutting dogs, cockroaches, horses, rats, feces-eating-pigs etc. Until very recently - after pressure from me - you never really called Dasa properly to task for this. Last couple of weeks, after I confronted you rather pointedly, have seen you make a few mealy mouthed reproachful comments to him about his animal "analogies", of which there have been hundreds and hundreds dished out gratuitously. But here you are, jumping on Suzianne for her serpent comment - which is of course your right. Do you think Suzianne has a more or less decent persona than Dasa? You - rather oddly - decided to actually quantify Dasa's 'positivity' as "90%", so I am curious what "%" you would assign to Suzianne. It's a fair question, I think.

Unrelated topic? Me bringing Dasa into the spotlight? Are you being for real? This thread was started by Dasa. This OP is yet another harangue from Dasa, endeavouring to make himself - and his dysfunctional and indecent relationship with everybody - the de facto centre of Dasa's own theology, and abusing everybody for being different from him. How could you possibly try to pass off my comments to you about Dasa and about Suzianne (who has posted on this thread) as "unrelated"?

err - excuse me buddy.

Dasa has self proclaimed himself has holding all truth (a bit like the JWs do) and that everyone else is not only wrong but liars and unintelligent fools. He has brought whatever grief he gets down on his own head. I have not witch-hunted dasa as you claim, but I have stood up to him to the point of boredom.

Duly noted. Witchhunt was definately the wrong term. I meant more like "exposed".

Uncorrected? So the comment about me, despite my measured and supportive approach to Dasa, conducting a "witchhunt" stands?

Didn't you read my one line response to divegeester?
