Childish Debating Tricks

I love it when someone says something insulting and then insults you for taking offense.

I love it when it is implied that the reason you disagree with someone else's interpretation is because you do not care about God's will and actually seek only to excuse yourself.

I love it when "oh, you poor silly man, you misunderstood me" is constantly trotted out after someone offends. Repeatedly. Numerous people. Yes, all of us are dumb and couldn't understand YOUR brilliantly clear prose.

I love it when Pharisee-ism is rampant and yet the one who is bothered by it is "getting too emotional" while the rude person is somehow cool, above the fray, "just commenting." And yes, I know that using "Pharisee" in a Mormon context has usually the same effect as using "Nazi" in a political context. But when the shoe fits, it's important they wear it. Pharisees made up new rules and laws, remember? "A hedge about the law" After doing this, they ridiculed and called "sinners" those who did not subscribe to these man-made, minutia-type rules. If that's what happening, why not call a spade a spade?

And now, we have devolved into childish name calling. Wow, cheers all around. :eye roll:
