Is there any reason for this thread to continue?

Do not try to derail the thread.

Jeffrey Gibson

Or what?

In any case, I wasn't trying to derail this thread. As a literal reading of my words indicates, I'm' trying to get it stopped.

So much for your own ability to read correctly, let alone literally.

I ask the Moderators again, Is there any reason for allowing this thread to continue?

It was a moderator who started the thread, and at least one has been vigorously in a discussion with me .

If you have nothing to contribute, start a thread of your own, instead of trying to stop this one.

Jeffrey Gibson

Actually, it was some "named" Abadon who started this thread. It was a moderator who split the remarks you posted to it off and renamed it.

I have contributed to this thread. You studiously ignored and dodged what I had to say. The only one who here who is not making a contribution (i.e., moving the discussion forward) is you.

So I ask again, will the moderators please bring this thread to a halt!

This thread was not started by someone named "Abadon", your information is bogus.

Show me where the name "Abadon" is found in this thread?

You are literally confused.

I don't think you really have anything to contribute or perhaps you are confused about which thread you are responding to.

When will you stop your confusion?

You can help put an end to this thread if you stop posting here. The moderators try not to close threads where people are still posting.

Jeffrey Gibson

You are correct. It was someone who goes by the name "abaddon".

You really like that word, don't you?

Show me that a moderator started this thread -- i.e., that the first post in this thread entitled aa5874's total confusion over the meaning of "literalist" is from a moderator, that this thread was not split off from the thread entitled the literal word versus recent "liberal" interpretations , and that the first post in the thread entitled the literal word versus recent "liberal" interpretations is from a moderator.

Once more I ask the moderators to bring an end to this thread. After all, its objective -- to show that aa5874 is (and continues to be) totally confused -- and wrong -- about the meaning of the term "literalist" especially when applied to Origen -- has been achieved, has it not?

Who? Ask the moderators who started this thread?

Show me where the name "abaddon" made a post in this thread?

I told you that you are confused.

If you want to respond to "Abadon" or "abaddon", please look for the OP.

Jeffrey Gibson

They do? Then why not here as well?

And I hope I may ask the following without being charged with questioning moderator actions. (You have opened the door, have you not?):

But if you meant to write "try not to close threads where people are still posting", I note that this certainly isn't the case in virtually every one you've locked. A quick review of them seems to show that people were very much still posting when you shut them down. It was the fact that those who were posting were posting inanities and were not moving the discussion forward -- as the A man has been doing here, and at far greater length than you allowed the locked threads to get to -- that was the cause of your doing so.

Indeed it was seeing not only that you have shut down threads that had the character that this one has taken on, but your reasons for shutting these threads down that I asked my original question (which was a public repetition of several I have sent you as PMs) about whether there was any reason to let the thread continue.

It is not my fault that the A man responded to a question I asked you with the nonsense that he did.

In any case, I've said my piece on this matter and have no need to continue to post on it.

But I would like from you an answer to the question I raised. Do you personally see any reason for this thread to continue?
