Simcha,
You wrote,[...he had {no} respect for anyone else on the PB board...]. Could yoou clarify how you made the conclusion that he had [...no respect for anyone on the PB board...]? If you could, then I could have a better understanding of your post and be better able to respond to it.
You also wrote,[...find your defense... intriguing...if he was telling us to accept...instead of jesus you might support him less...].
It has been, and is now, and will be, my position here that evryone is welcome to post on any thread his/her response to another's post. I object to others telling others to [...not post..]or [...to leave...] regardless of how they state that. Titleistguy's post is just as valuable to the board, IMO, as yours or anyone elses. If a poster wrote about Buddha or Mulhammad or others, I would defend those also to post their thoughts.
You wrote,[...I am jewish and happily so...]. I am also jewish and happily so. Titleist's posts were from someone that said that they had their life saved by their faith. But that is what he [believes]. and Dr. Bob has written here that one can post [...what they believe...]or [...what they feel...].Titleistguy has not yet written here the complete explination of what he means by [...you need jesus christ...]. Perhaps if he could clarify that, then we could have a better understanding of what he means by,[...you need jesus christ instead of pills...]. Since he is expelled, I do not consider it civil to call him [ignorant] or anything else, particulary when he does not have the right to respond to those posts untill he returns. This is the administrative issue that I am addressing here. I am asking for a halt to people posting defaming posts to him and others that are not allowed to reply to those that defame them. You also wrote,[...am I off-base about supporting him because of his message...]? Yes, it is not his message that I am supporting, but his [welcomness or not welcomness]. He was blocked for what he wrote, and I am objecting here to the continuing defamation towads him after he wes expelled and can not reply to those posts directed toward him.
You then wrote,[..let me tell you...takes a lot to get under my skin...].You also wrote,[...his comments are insulting and rude...]. Are you then subscribing to some concept that responses that are defaming to a poster are acceptable here , like using the word [ignorant] toward him, because the poster made [insulting] comments that [got under someone's skin]? Some one asked me once if I bekieved in [...an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...]. My answer to him was,[...love your enemies, bless those who curse you,do good to those that hate you,and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.]
