That would NOT have worked.

Unless one was truly a reprobate, why would they need an apology? I think the ones that get offended are the ones that beleive they are.

So, being compared to Lois' sight just hit below the belt. If there are a few bad apples, I didn't want the perception to be the forum itself is bad.

As pointed out to me by a dear friend, if OP thought it was such a terrible place, then why would he be here.

So, I accepted that his dry sense of humor and his belief that there really are a few reprobates here was only what he thought and his opinion doesn't make it so.

I tried to extend an olive branch Sunday night.

Is my memory faulty or were not defending dear Lois once???? I am getting older so I could be mistaking I know me and some others had a knock down drag out over me calling her an apostate.

Bro... give me a break...


They got or get offended because they know they're being called that due to their beliefs. Not because they THINK they're reprobate... but because they know the person using the term 'reprobate' is lobbing that grenade at them because he/she believes he/she stands in the place of God to make that determination.

He doesn't consider me a reprobate and I am here.

Ronzo, its been awhile, how ya doin? Well, anyway, you may have a point. I will go as far as saying this, there is a such a thing as a reprobate, however, I do not recall reading anywhere that OP called a specific individual that. Not only that, just because one is a liberal doesn't necessarily make him/her a reprobate. Love ya Ron.

You're welcome for the back-handed approval, but if it wasn't needed, then why post your response???????

I don't ever remember anyone defending Lois, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
