It is a difference in language usage only. The justification was also given. Did I ever claim there was some other difference?

Claim? No, I wouldn't use that word. Imply is what you did. You said:

<<flaming words demonstrate that one is at a loss for expressing the essence of discord, and is too weak to challenge it directly....>>

The clear and obvious implication is that the techniques you have substituted or continued are not weak. That is the "claim" I was addressing. Now, there may be a marginal increase in "strength" with name calling, denial, repeated unsubstantiated assertions, story changing, etc. over vulgar language, but I expect the distinction is mostly in your mind.

why do you keep provoking the mojo issue and then when I provide a reasoned response you duck and cover...

I have long since quit bringing up the substance of the Mojo issue nor have I been responding to your discussion on the substance. What I have been addressing is your reaction to the Mojo discussion. I apparently misunderstood your conversion re puddles, either that or the story has changed over time. I was under the impression that you had undertaken a character-building program and I was trying to help you stick with it. I don't care much about getting into heaven, since I don't believe in it, but that doesn't mean I can't offer you some assistance in that regard. But offering assistance in a program you are not pursuing is quite paternalistic of me so I will try to suppress those instincts in the future.
