Dont attack a persons religion unless we are in a religious debate thread. Set some boundaries as to whats off limits, otherwise we will have many more people feeling “attacked” and all that. It create un needed problems.
David seemd to me to be pointing out a similarity between Ed and an uninspired troll we had here a couple of weeks ago. If the multi-personality dullard had said that he was left-handed and red-headed, and Ed happened to mention the same thing, David would have brought that up. It just appeared odd to David that two persons identified themselves as being Eastern Rite within weeks, when I cannot recall the last time anyone brought that up.
That being said, my father always was careful that no one thought he was capital-C Catholic. Most real members of Orthodox congregations are also clearer on the differences between the churches. That Ed was sloppy on that was worth noting, but hardly constituted evidence that he was not whom he had claimed to be. David does tend to be a bit hypersensitive about trolls and multiple user personalities.
The point is moot, as Ed seems to have left the building.
Get a grip, man. As Dr. F explained, above, I wasn’t flaming anybody’s religion. I thought it very coincidental that two trolls in such a short period happened to have this similarity. You need to take a valium.
Hmmm. This from the guy who is accusing me of lying, won’t say what I’m lying about, won’t post publicly about it, but is willing to run around in private e-mail making such allegations to others. (See “You Be The Judge” in Great Debates) Yeah, you’re a model of character.
David I thank you for your link to that debate as well. As can now be seen, you were in fact incorrect in your statement. The issue now is whether by accident or intention.
Dont be so egocentric David, its okay to admit you are human and thus affected by emotions, ignorance on some issues, and the occasional case of stupidity. Admitting it makes you more of a man in my eyes (screen as it be). I admit I am not perfect nor do I attempt to get others to believe I am, the difference between us.
Your father is Eastern Orthodox? As one myself I ask you this, how do you feel about the association of ones counrty of origin to the church as pertaining to old country politics being brought here? ie (Serbian Orthodox, Russian Orthodox…et al) and US policies thus affecting “church” and its politics?
Do you feel as I do that church should in have no allegiances to any country but that in which they reside? Also that politics dont belong in church?
Then you’re reading a different discussion. Or just didn’t pay attention. I’ve addressed this in there now, but here’s a hint: a claim in e-mail is not equal to documentation that something actually occurred.
I admit you werent flaming Ed’s religion. Just his possible identities. And I misunderstood that to be a statement about the religious aspect as well.
Apparently it wasnt. Im sorry.
What’s wrong with being rascist? Is there a law against it that I haven’t heard of, or is it just political correctness in action? This guy who signs himself off as John, Yue somebody screen name, has made more inflamatory statements than anybody on this thread, it seems to me. Why isn’t he attacked? Captain Ed has his facts straight, and speaks like a gentleman, by comparison.
So far as I know, there’s not law against being rascist. You had the freedom to discriminate against a rasc if you want. Just please tell me what a rasc is first.

For your next screen name, might I suggest using a dictionary to actually spell correctly? Instead of looking like an unschooled, slack-jawed yokel you will simply look like a crass idiot unworthy of the air you breathe.
Well, shut my mouth. It’s also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling.
