::you "attack the man" rather than focus on the argument.

: So you would not attack LA the person only the content of his dicussion!

Ah! Now dawns a bit of light!

: That's like saying I'm not attacking Jehovah the God, but only the content of His discussion!

You are not God. You are not infallible. There is no comparison.

If your insinuation were correct, debate on any subject at all would be impossible because it would always be personal: “You disagree with me therefore you’re attacking me!” This is infantile, but only to be expected from the majority of JWs.

We note that once again you focus on “the man” rather than on the arguments.

:: by pretending that your opponent has a problem that you oh so magnanimously are trying to minimize.

: Are you saying this for my benefit,

Actually I said it for the benefit of all readers. This way your foolishness is exposed for all to see.

Note that that last sentence is an example of “attacking the man”. I take it you like that better.

: or are you trying to clear yourself in the eyes of readers who may smell defeat.

Ah, a classic false dilemma! I’ll let you figure out what that means, but will comment that it’s yet another form of bogus argument.

As for defeat, since you have yet to present any facts, but are only engaging in useless “arguments about words”, readers can see for themselves who has been defeated. In fact you’ve defeated yourself.

: Is David and Golaith a fair analagy!

Indeed it is. But your delusions of grandeur have made you unable to recognize who is who.

: Too bad they deleted my post. Now these readers will not see how I defeated you with just One Post!!

Really! More delusions of grandeur I’ll warrant.

Just why did “they” delete it? Was it insulting? Did it violate the FPP? Can you “defeat” me without violating the FPP? Or was your “victory post” just another sad case of “attacking the man” and as usual devoid of substance?

:: did you disagree with any of my specific comments?

: Others with as many guns (read time) as you have performed beyond filling that need.

Really! Who?

: What further need is there for me to perpetrate this game of intellectual TICTACTOE.

There you go, slinking away pretending victory. You’re quite funny. As a great line from the movie “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” put it, “I shall keep taunting you, you silly person!”

: Now be a sweet hubbie,go bring flowers and kisses to your woman, oh and send her my love.

Come on! You can find better insults than that!
