Let's set the record straight. I never accused covenantinblood of hatred...that application was purely your fabrication.
prior to that, via_dolorosa wrote in response to Covenant in Blood: This is an example of an effigy and the reason for the ongoing war. Thank you for this superb demonstration, Covenant.
That ain't my fabrication. Your own words, dude.
via_dolorosa arrogantly asserts:
It's also clear that you have no idea what racism is since you deny the subjective aspect of it.
The dictionary defines racism. Not you nor I. The fact that someone
perceives racism in another's words does not make it so. And simply urging someone to take another at his word rather than taking offense where none was intended is not a cause for "nations raging" and religious bloodshed. Just the opposite.
I can put myself in anothers' shoes to understand how they might feel, but when a brother is accused of bigotry (waitaminute - I mean "effigy" leading to war), I tend to defend my falsely accused brother. And if you took your own advice and put yourself in the other man's moccasins, you wouldn't have posted your railing accusations against him.
via jumps to another accusation:
As far as my presence on this forum, I disagree that it gives blanket permission for people to abuse me.
Did I even suggest any such thing? No sir. Not abuse of any person. But I did warn you that
we defend the true faith here, so that if you advocate a different faith here, you can and should expect opposition. Opposition is not abuse.
Opposition to everything this site stands for in it's own forum
is abuse, however. Read the Terms again. By creating an account here, you agreed to them. Those Terms also clearly spell out what to expect when you violate them.
