Say What You Mean
Member Hooah, in Message 93 and a message above the one I've cited resorted to off topic personal attack on my usage of the English language and how I articulate. The purpose of this thread is to aire our thoughts on communication in the discussions and debates?
How can I say this nicely? Buz, we put in much more effort to gauge your meanings than you put in to understanding ours. Rarely do you write a sentence that doesn't require some degree decryption. Example, I'm sure there would be a better way to reference "a message above the one I've cited" (sans comma). Might I suggest "message 88,", perhaps?
Edited by lyx2no, : Spelling.

Be still, the demands I make upon your conscience are slight. It is only your flattery I seek, not your sincerity.

Re: Say What You Mean
Like gauging meanings of prophecy fulfillments when in fact, evidence is cited?
One of the things you might try harder to understand is that we are not failing to grasp the meanings that you apply to sundry prophecies, but that we disagree with your being able to discern the exclusive meaning of said prophecies.
And you wouldn't know evidence if it hit you with its truck.

Be still, the demands I make upon your conscience are slight. It is only your flattery I seek, not your sincerity.

Re: Iron Sharpening Iron
Hi turnip
Perhaps in time Hooah will upgrade Buzsaw from feces to turnip or something like that.
I had a friend who had a friend who would introduce himself: "Hi my name is Jim, but my friends call me Turbo." Once at a party, making fun of this friend he introduced himself: "Hi my name is Brian, but my friends call me Turbo." To his chagrin the nick name stuck for several years.
I'll see what I can do for ya'.
