I haven't read the history and prehistory. I didn't read Chris Land's posts, though my recollection of him is of a person sweating hatred. Maybe he has recently become kinder, more civilized, to others. I did read your post, though. It was cruel, Cobe. And sanctimonious. I didn't "redefine" adultery. I looked it up because your definition struck me as novel, and reported the definition. I have never heard a single person described as an adulterer. It is standardly up to the parties in a contract to keep it or be labeled as contract-breakers (adulterers, in this case), not up to those not parties to the contract. It doesn't matter. Call Edwarda an adulteress or call her a fornicator. It's beneath you to have done that, and your use of the word "bragging" reveals that there was more beneath that insult than putting yourself in the shoes of another. And you and Chris Land jointly could set off rockets to distract me from that observation, but it is still true, to me. Why don't you leave feelies? You will still be sent the occasional PM, but you don't have to expose yourself to a milieu that is so disturbing to you as a matter of course!

Well I guess I missed all the abuse of Chris because I ignored him. But doesn't Chris abuse others? Isn't that rather His Calling? And doesn't it make him feel GOOD to be abused? If you prevent Chris from being abused I would submit to you that you are taking away a good part of his pleasure- AND his abusers play right into his zealotous little hands. Zealots LOVE to be martyrs- especially pretend martyrs who don't actually get hurt (which is the case here in cyberland). So I put the case to you that those that abuseth Chris pleaseth Chris. And that is why I put him on ignore- because I do not wish to please him. After what has happened here previously how you could have had ANY respect left for most of the people here boggles my mind. I know you know (better than I) what some of these folks get up to on other threads. There has been extreme abuse here- why should Chris be spared? Especially when he both relishes abuse AND dishes it out. Chris isn't your battle- unless you WANT it to be. Put him (and everyone else who bugs you) on ignore and be happy. But you must NOT cheat and read the posts of people you put on ignore- that is to go to the dark side. You will be happier. I happen to agree with most of what you say in essence, but I don't see the point in saying it. I morally disapprove of most of the people here, but except for the sake of argument about morality why bother to mention that fact?- I live a very pure and clean life- I really do, no joke. But I'm not going to convince anyone else here to follow my example am I? I would bet you that I live a much purer life than 90% of Christians- maybe more, my scores on that purity test were outrageously bad, or good, depending on your point of view (of course the Christians have that out with being able to say they are REALLY sorry, and I don't have that out)- but so? We both have families, we both have great lives, we both (I assume) have stimulating intellectual lives, and lots of fun- who needs CRAP, that is unecessary? Of course I realize I may not be able to convince you- I am much better in person. In PERSON I could make you believe me even if I was wrong. I will never forget how I, by the force of my dramatic personality, led my whole study group astray in creating the "chair" formation for some molecule in organic chemistry (benzene?). Anyway the professor said I talked a good game but that I was totally and completely wrong. No points. But be that as it may, if you are unhappy change things- you CAN and it is GOOD.
