Originally posted by KellyJaySo who do you think are the "fools" and "mockers" (who should be driven out from here) that you were alluding to in your OP?
With the way the question was framed, do you think I was accusing anyone of anything other than asking if the threads they were in were strife filled?
Originally posted by KellyJayYou have not engaged me in any discussion at all on this forum since the day I opposed your stance ~ which was that parents should have the right to let their children die (for want of the necessary and available medical treatment) for their own religious reasons, and that the state should not intervene ~ by arguing (as I did) that society has the right (and duty) to protect children from the actions of such adults.
Seems like there is always a lot of strife here.
You haven't spoken to me at all, not even once, since that discussion - even though, shortly before that particular difference of opinion which prompted your silence, you remarked that I had always been firm but respectful in my discussions with you ~ and we had had many long robust discussions up to that point in which I had never mocked or insulted you, and never acted the fool or claimed that you were acting the fool.
What can we discern about your notion of "strife" - and how to handle it - from your own behaviour in this case?
