> [@CitizenPained](#): > > :eek: Potent Quotables for 100 please, Alex! Many of those comments are absolutely fine, and some aren’t friendly but are allowed. I’ve read most of your participation in the thread and I’m not going to be swayed by a list of quotes that includes everything you object to with no discussion of your own behavior, which was rather obnoxious in some places: > [@Was Jesus Literate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/was-jesus-literate/570254/144): > > \*\*Why \*\*are you even in this conversation? To be negative? > > […] > > //end Dio Show. > [@Was Jesus Literate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/was-jesus-literate/570254/145): > > Anyway, since you think the Bible is a work of fiction, I’m going to go with “Dio Can’t Have A Strong Point in This Thread”. You know nothing of Jesus, his birth class, his life, etc. if the Bible is fiction, so WHY ARE YOU IN HERE? > [@Was Jesus Literate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/was-jesus-literate/570254/157): > > We have to look at the Gospels. If we question their validity then the only thing we can do is throw our hands up and say, “I donno. Impossible to say.” If that is your position then SAY THAT and leave the thread be. > > Some of us like investigating the mysteries and unknowns of history. That’s what makes SD so great. If you can’t participate productively, then state your “I donno” piece and move on. So that’s why I say you were giving as good as you got, if not moreso. > [@CitizenPained](#): > > The sanctimonious asshole comment came after a lot of repeated questions and elbow throws. I saw, yes. Your comment took that to a level that is not acceptable in GD. > [@](#): > > I really couldn’t understand why he cared. There’s no rule against this, but is it necessary to question his motivation this way? > [@](#): > > BUT I feel like I could argue for **or** against half of the obvious insults on SD based on what was said here. You’ve been here two weeks. Read some threads and you’ll figure it out. Meanwhile stick discussing arguments and not the people who are arguing (or their reasons for making those arguments) and you will do fine. If you do that it is very difficult to get warned. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/little-help-with-semantics-here/578763)._
