Or any exchange with a person apparently bent on insulting, belittling and annoying others all the while doing do with a tissue paper thin skin.

Really? I did NOT know Methodists believed in transubstantiation.

Some Episcopalians do, but that's just the Episcopal Church. You can believe in Communion from transubstantiation to just a remembrance of "the last supper" or anything in between, and it's OK. Plus a lot of Episcopalians are rejected Catholics.

Well of course we all have our "unique" ways of describing what's going on here, but what you see as evidence I have a thin skin strikes me as no more worthy than the rest. How do I have a thin skin? Specifics please...

You're just wildly throwing mud without justification and not realizing it's only just getting yourself all the more muddy.

Then again, who can't well expect exactly what to expect in these regards from everyone posting in these threads? All very predictable in any case. You've made your reputation well known too. No need to muddy it further.

Unlike you, I used to think the holy wafers kind of tasty BTW...

Warn others? Let's not take any of this too seriously, shall we? But even if that's what you think you are doing, is it working any better than the many who have tried before you? Or does the effort only serve to create more traps for all concerned to step into again and again?

Absurd to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result. Don't you think?

I mean comes a point...

I was not referring to you but to your reference to Iwasnew who does not strike me as someone who is interested in dialogue. It is she who gets upset if asked but demands others to answer if they wish t9 or not.

So my reputation is a mud slinger? News to me. And it's well known however I don't recall anyone else tell me that I am a mud slinger so not sure how well known it actually is.

I am sure al other posters are relived for you having stepped up to be their spokesman about me and others like me. Again I was not referring to you but the poster you were referring to.

Spoiling IWas' fun is amusing, but I do not take it seriously.

I can only talk about myself, so you must ask others if the warnings are helpful.

Ah! Then perhaps just a case of mistaken identity. I took your comment as a counter to mine, as if I was the one guilty of the "insulting, belittling and annoying others."

Fair enough. My bad. Never mind...
