I don't know if you're aware of this. Please accept it in the spirit offered. It is not a matter of content but of tone. You often come across as rude, curt, and accusatory when you post here. When someone disagrees with you, you call their words crap, call dialoguing with them a waste of time, occasionally call names, spew out profanity, and generally come across as angry.

So when you use this smiley :wave:

I interpret it as this smiley

If this is not the way you wish to portray yourself, you need to be more careful about how you do so. Because it is how you are portraying yourself, here.

Search is disabled, or simply not working or I would provide the pointers you have so conviently forgot. But I suspect that you knew it was disabled, and that is why you challenged it.

I am sure there are others that remember you attacking others, and then apologizing for doing so because of your back pain. Whether or not they choose to speak about it is their choice. But you lying about it, and being a hypocrit about the whole thing by saying those things about Debi just further makes you lose credibility.

I don't care either way. I was just trying to make Debi feel better after you made her feel like crap for having a disability that can affect people in different ways. I'm glad that you can handle your bipolar disorder, but there are people who have a daily struggle with it, just like you have had with your back. A little compassion goes a long long way. I have a son with bipolar disorder and if I ever heard someone say to him what you said to Debi, you can bet your ass I'd give them an earful.

Who would ever want the curse upon themselves in the eyes of God to conceal blatant corruption is to me beyond understanding.

Tas it willl never be accepted on that basis. You have asked to kill off all discussion on the topic after our debate and that is not going to happen nor would I agree to those terms. Not that it matters as Erwin will never agree to something like you have suggested. I said I reject all caveats, requirements, restrictions, and so on. I offered you a debate and you are tacking on all sorts of extras. I offered you a debate on neutral ground even. CF is not a battlefield anymore that IIDB is a battlefield.

You are the one obsessed with the topic. My hope that a good formal debate might satisfy your obsession for a while. It is obvious that it will not. I am still up for the debate but I reject all qualifications and requirements you have attached. You either take the offer or bow out. The choice is yours. I am the one that issued the challenge and it stands as issued. A debate and nothing more.

Well flesh if you will not take up the challenge at CF maybe somebody else will . The ball is in your court. You may have noticed that I have now asked for it here so we will see what Erwin says.

I know for a fact Erwin will say no the proposal. I said no to it prior to you posting that at CF. Since I made the challenge it is within my rights, in a formal debate, to reject terms. If you choose to add terms that are ridiculous and serve your agenda then I will reject them. The offer to debate is still open but there will be no strings attached on either side. If you want to attach strings then attach the string that whoever wins according to formal debate rules will have their side of the arguments presented as the final say and whoever loses ceases to post on the topic. That would surely up the stakes now wouldn't it?

CF at forum thread to be determined by Erwin

Thank you Lien Shen, for your forgiveness and your compassion.

I can stand backlash. I take it all the time Tas.

I have tattoos, myself. But, I am a neutral observer in all of this. I also got those tattoos at a time when my Faith base wasn't strong either. If I had the choice now I would not do it over. I may not be as strong minded as you about it and certainly believe that I cannot make a choice for anyone as to what they personally choose to do with their own body.

I can simply relate my own experience.

I never even knew it was a biblical thing. So this is even going to be interesting for me to see.

As you suggested that I pick the venue , I think it only fitting that some suggestions be made about having it a CF so that Erwin would agree -don't you think that is reasonable?
