In reading the exchanges that Greg posted to AF I couldn't help but notice some insults that irritated me a little. These were the ten that irked me the most. The last smacks of my old Kingdom Hall day, repetition for emphasis also thought I would open and close with his "most revealing" one. We'll remember you Greggie, and I honestly do wish you well. I wish you'd stand up on your hind legs and talk back, but we all make our choices. Hmmm, well, some of us have help, I guess.
Quotes from Gregs responses to AF. (I don't know how to do the URL stuff but it is all down below and I will be glad to supply the paragraphs I pulled these from on request, pages too for that matter.)
Greg to AF:
1. So there is a basis upon which one could conclude you were being deliberately deceptive,
2. I do not know why you choose to embarrass yourself like this, by presenting false analogies and wasting our time
3. I don’t play games, and I will tolerate yours for only a short while, so you better get with the program
4. If you cannot do this, you show yourself to be prideful, arrogant, and far less a man than any member on the Governing Body, who have admitted many of their mistakes.
5. Now, I guess Alan thinks most of you are of very average or even below average intelligence,
6. . For now, I will say that I do not believe you are ignorant (though you handling of the word “creed” did make me think twice)
7. Your question is simple, straightforward, and shows a severe lack of understanding about the subject at hand.
8. And I had hoped you could provide a context for your question, since YOU are the one asking the questions! That you chose not to do so is rather revealing.
9. I suppose it is possible that you somehow missed my rather salient qualification, so I will repeat it, highlighting key portions of the adverbial phrase
10. So there is a basis upon which one could conclude you were being deliberately deceptive,
end of quotes.
So Greg, "Was there a basis upon which one could conclude you were being deliberately deceptive?" Be careful, you could be banned from any number of places for that!!!
