I Say We Duke It Out!

It is a simple matter of courtesy to get the name right.



You should follow your own advice, your responses to me are snide every time, and you respond to my posts in many threads when the post was not addressed to you and made to reference to you. You can't get past your resentment. So you project your pettiness onto me.



Typical christian pomposity--this is why so many people are sick to death of the evangelicals. You've had a grudge against me for more than a year, ever since the "faith healing" thread in which you became incensed.



I referred to your phony tactic of behaving as though you love me, when i know that is horseshit. I don't know you personally, so i can't say if you personally are witless. Your style here of late certainly is. Whether or not something is a "nice" thing to do does not necessarily motivate me.



No, nor do i believe for a moment that you have any love for me. If you assert that you do, i'll simply consider it another typical christian lie, a phony assertion made because you believe that is the attitude you are supposed to display.



My personal life is no business of yours.



That reference was to your partner in idiocy, MOAN--as you well know. This is another example of the schoolyard taunt: "I know you are, but what am i?"



Because it is so obvious. You go out of your way to comment on things i post which have nothing to do with you. And look at your signature line--you very frequently spout off about America and Americans--your resentments are all too obvious.



This is a sterling example of the puerile tone you adopt. Your resentments flash forth in something like this. How very christian of you to try so hard to make someone angry. This, i take it, is an example of the love you express. It is a sure measure of your maturity--which is to say, not very mature at all.

Dear Setanta,

Actually, I wrote Setanata, Setanta, Setanta. I apologize for typing your ID incorrectly, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I am sorry that I am unable to reply to your post at the moment, but I have to go out for a few hours. I will read it again when I return and give you a reply, since you appear to want one.

Until then, I remain
Intrepid

No, it matters not in the least to me if you reply. I strongly suspect that you and MOAN will continue your idiotic and phony "christian love" campaign, and am i no hurry for the next installment.

Mr. Setanta,

I need to ask you a question Mr. Setanta. You have asked me and others not to address you as Set. If I requested that you did not use MOAN to address me, would you respect that request?

I am very sorry you feel that Intrepid and I are on a "phony" Christian love campaign. Quite the opposite is true. I know for myself, I have decided not to meet your posts with anger, resentment, or ridicule. I think Intrepid is trying to do the same thing. Yes, we are using humor, that I am sure he won't deny anymore than I would. But, we are not doing it to be mean or ridicule you. We are trying to meet you with good intentions. Do you think it might be possible that you might be seeing a motive in there that might not really be there?

I have no anger for you, Mr. Setanta. The other day, that just went away. I realized I was wrong in meeting your posts with anger and attack. Yes, I will not deny I am enjoying it because I feel better about myself by not falling into the trap of getting angry at you.

I hope that you can understand this, Mr. Setanta.

This thread is too much. You guys are great.

Damn, Setanta - you have so many of these catfights.
The common denominator is you and your prickly self-importance. For all your supposed intelligence, you can't even get a glimpse of that.

I feel the same way setanta does most of the time, just don't have time to tell you Christians more.

It's not just the time, edgar - he gets huge entertainment out of it

So do I.

I KNEW there was a reason...... How can you measure entertainment value? I think that we are providing a valuable service and outlet for Setanta. I hope he appreciates us as much as we appreciate him. It matters not that he is not a Christian. That is his choice. Maybe that is why he does not appear to be happy much of the time and maybe not. Maybe he is happy all the time and we are not sophisticated enough to recognize this. Whatever the reason.... Merry Christmas, Mr. Setanta and everyone else.

The common denominator is your insistence on resenting what hasn't been addressed to you--you can't pass up the opportunity to attempt a pissing match over what has passed between me and someone else. I suggest you revisit the portion of scripture concerned with motes, beams and eyes.

You know, it is really hilarious the sort of sanctimonious hypocricy MOAN, Intrepid and Snood display. There can be a thread the intent of which is to slur and belittle those who don't have their imaginary friend superstitions, and if i or anyone else who they scorn comment, we'll get horseshit like Snood's latest self-righteous and phony criticism. We have this thread, in which MOAN invites people to "duke it out" with her on the topic of her imaginary friend superstition, and yet Intrepid and Snood show up to catalogue my faults because i decide to take her up on her invitation.

I consider the three of you to be phony, hypocritical and sanctimoniously self-righteous to a degree which would repel your putative Jesus, as described, were there ever such a person, which there is no good reason to believe.

On a lot of issues, setanta, I agree with you. (excluding religious issues) Also I don't think this strange argument has been one sided with you as the villain of the piece. However, to be fair, you have asked people to spell your name right (btw, sorry for my previous abbreviations, didn't know it offended) and Momma Angel has asked for a correct spelling of her name.

That is not quite true. I have taken the opportunity to serve some obloquy to Intrepid for having misspelled my screen name. I refuse to use anything other than MOAN for reasons i have already elucidated, the best being that MA is, and always will be, for me, Merry Andrew. In the end, though, if it annoys MOAN to have me use it, i will be well contented--especially as, chrisitan hypocrit that she is, she has been bent on annoying me for quite some time.

I have rarely seen a bunch less likely to practice the principle of loving their enemies and doing good to those who harm them than MOAN, Intrepid and Snood.

hey Seti, have a groovy day.
the Dys.

personally, i don't find acrimony entertaining, but there's no arguing about taste. de gustibus non est disputandum

I'll do that, Dys . . .

I've always considered the search for extraterrestrial intelligence to be a waste of money unless and until intelligent life has been found on this planet . . .

In keeping with the vein of the thread, I would say that it takes a certain amount of immaturity to refuse to use someones name as listed on the site. Personal opinion aside, everyone uses the name of their choosing and most people respect that name and take the time to type it. Some abbreviate in a respectable way and have the manners to put the full name if requested. The use of MOAN is clearly a means of disrespect. If it wasn't, then either a different form would be used, or it would not be typed at all. Perhaps when the great Mr. Setanta complains about how somebody type his name, they should give a silly answer as to why they do that. This does not happen because most people have a maturity level that is within the norm of society. Given Mr. Setanta's explanation for using MOAN, perhaps he could give an equally inadequate explanation of why he calls me Bubba. Keeping to the Duke it Out thread here :-) .

I used to think that it was just Christians that Setanta did not like. I was wrong about that because you can see his attacks on others as well. Just check any of the threads. It does appear that Setanta has a high opinion of himself and his intelligence. I agree, that he does have a degree of intelligence. However, what good is intelligence without also having empathy for his fellow man. I know, he will say that I am a hypocrite and do not have empathy for anyone. He is, however, wrong on that. In a previous post, Setanta said that we had been going at it for over a year, starting with a particular thread. I have only been here since March of this year and I don't think I have every posted on the thread he mentioned. Since he gets into heated discussion with so many on so many threads, I am sure that he gets us confused.

Setanta's comment is the most telling of all. Momma Angel annoys him. I think the real reason that he uses MOAN is because he is annoyed. Every time Setanta needs a reason to try and discredit someone, he used the Christian card. If we are love and peace he claims we are hypocrites and idiots. If we retaliate he claims we are hypocrites and idiots.

He must enjoy it, otherwise he would not spend so much time in the Religious forums. My question to you, Setanta, is why do you spend so much time in an arena that you clearly loath?

I do not dislike you Setanta. I just dislike the way that you treat people.
