Re: DKB Shares His Vision: Apostolic Identity,
An outsiders observation:
1-DeuteronomyCh8, is definitely being way toohostile.
2-Jeffery, DAII and others are definitely being way too sarcastic.
I've only posted on this site a handful of times and I just came back today to get some news on BOTT. But everytime I visit, I see the same scenario. One group of posters "poke the stick" at others over and over, and there's always a good amount of sarcasm and "high-fives" between those of similar beliefs. Then someone gets upset (DeuteronomyCh8) and starts to rant and gets ugly. (Sorry, DeuteronomyCh8, but it's obvious) The only problem I have with this is when everyone (Jeffery, DAII and others) that has used sarcasm and made belittling remarks about a certain ideology, starts pointing the finger and acting appalled at the disgruntle poster (DeuteronomyCh8) who get offended and starts to rant. Neither side is right and neither side has clean hands. In reality though, I feel that it's a double whammy to then point fingers at the offended poster.
I'm sure that I will now be attacked by this post, but come on! Do you really feel that sarcasm is not offensive?? It's just ironic that some people use sarcasm and belittling comments in regards to a group of people or ideology movement, that they claim have offended and belittled so many.
Debates are great but this type of dialogue is just a huge turn-off to those who might consider frequently visiting this community.
