Chauvin Trial was a Fraud

We do things differently here on TOL. Been that way for a lot longer than I've been here.

Throwing insults is a sign that you have no convincing argument; and it adds nothing to the conversation. It's like a two year old throwing a tantrum because they can't get their own way.

It's a good job you can't use guns on this forum.

Throwing insults without merit yes.

But throwing insults is often justified by the retardedness of the person who has earned them.

Yes, it is.

It's also a good job that you can't use peanut butter on this forum.

Throwing insults is something Jesus Himself did, not to mention several of His prophets, and for good reason.

Are you sure you want to make that argument?

There IS such a thing as righteous anger, you know...

Inane.

It's better to err on the side of love,

It's possible to "love" someone straight to Hell.

Of course, that's not really love, it's hatred, but those who call good evil and evil good do the same with love and hate.


It's an act of mercy to slap someone when they're falling asleep at the wheel. Yeah, it may hurt, but it prevents them from greater harm.

and forgiveness.

Christ said to forgive only when a person repents.

Our Lord said more about mercy, forgiveness and to love your neighbour and to pray for your enemies too.

EVERYTHING He said is important.

Don't be like Thomas Jefferson who cut out what he didn't like from the Bible, including much of what Jesus said.

I would suggest that throwing insults highlights the retardedness of the person who is throwing them. It's fine to disagree, but insults are pointless.
It's part and parcel of the forum and to be fair, it's been that way since it started. That being said, the former owner and founder of this site expressed regret for the way the forum was going and unfairly blamed himself in part. You're quite right. Insults and throwaway name calling have no place in constructive, adult and mature debate and it only reflects poorly on those who are reduced to such instead of actual argument.
