Facebook is pure poision

[E. Mortimer]

Every picture is on my timeline.
And frankly i dont want to see the pics he was posting.
He understood and stopped and he apologized...there was no call for it.
I treat him like my own son - so he fully respects me and still calls me his second mom forever.

So how about you not bothering to profess what type of friend i am based on your opinions of our relationship.

What are you not understanding about what I am saying? You appear to be letting your anger blind you to my words. I have made no assumptions about your relationship with your friend. I never claimed that I knew anything about these pictures or where they were posting these pictures. You were the one who mentioned the pictures in your original reply to me.

Also, if a person on your friends list posts a picture to their profile, then it will show up on the public wall regardless of whether or not you are tagged in the photo. That is the nature of Facebook. Now if they are posting these pictures directly to your wall despite knowing that you do not agree with those views, then they are being disrespectful towards you.

However, if he posts pictures to his own wall then you will still see them because they will appear on the public wall as is the sharing nature of any social media website.

Don't give me incomplete information that I never asked for to begin with and then claim that I am making assumptions. Every comment I have made to you has only been in response to what you have said and nothing else.

You are being extremely confrontational based off of some imagined slight. Perhaps you are feeling insecure about how you treat your friends. Or maybe you make it a habit to take every generalized statement as a personal attack. Or maybe it is something else entirely. I don't know.

However, I do not have to tolerate somebody purposely misquoting me and attempting to turn my words around in order to suit their own agenda. So when you are prepared to cease your overreacting, then I will be happy to have a civil discussion with you. Until then, I would suggest that in the future you not allow your emotions to impair your reading comprehension. My words are not the Bible. They should be read with the head and not the heart.

They were not viewable for public.
And im not angry in the slightest - again you assume.

Again, I have made no such assumptions. This is what I meant by reading comprehension.

And if they were pictures that were sent directly to you in private and he sent them knowing that you disagreed with those views then yes, I would say that he was being disrespectful towards you. However, you did not say any of this in your original reply to me. You only made very vague references to pictures on Facebook.

As I have said, I have not made any assumptions. I am only making observations and I have been responding to what you say and nothing more.

 

[WarriorAngel]

They could have been reported - but i told him in private to knock it off.
I wont discuss them further.

If i was angry - [which i seldom get] - i wouldnt reply to you at all. I keep it to myself - but i tend to be rather 'to the point' when i post.
Without making it too personal.

But you did make it personal by accusing me of making assumptions and then purposely misquoting me as a way to somehow paint me in a negative light. And now it would appear that you won't even bother to use the reply button to respond to me. This means that I will not receive a notification when you respond to something that I've said. Are you doing this because you want to get the last word in? If that is the case then just say so and I will not bother to respond after your next comment.

Otherwise, I consider it very personal when somebody falsely accuses me of an offense.

Edit: I will make one assumption. I shall assume that if you choose to once again respond to me in such a way that it will not send me a notification that it is, in fact, your intention to simply get the last word in. If that turns out to be the case, I'll remain true to my word and not respond.

Even pure poison can be a necessary evil in minute doses: how did Paracelsus put it? The dose makes the poison. Even non toxic things can kill us in excess, like water.

I would admonish you to ease back and consider you're a new member here. Warrior Angel has been a respected and very rational, valuable member of this sub forum for a lot of years, more than myself. I've been here a while myself. Get to know people in here before you come in shooting your mouth off about us debasing ourselves, being delusional, and overly emotional. Show some respect and ease off the throttle, Mort. I've found as a teacher that I need to get to know people, know their story, know their views and experience and have an open mind while showing respect before I make assumptions and make bold charges.

You appear to be purposely taking what I said personally in some vain attempt to make it look as if I've insulted you when I've done no such thing. I made no such assumptions which you would be able to very clearly see if you had actually read my reply to you rather than debasing yourself to a knee-jerk, emotional reaction. You replied to a comment that was never directed at you to begin with and then you get upset when I respond to you.

Take a very close look at what I said concerning said pictures. A very close look. You will see that there were no assumptions made on my part. I also in no way claimed to know how you feel about anything. That is something else that you will not find in my original reply to you. My reply only spoke of the nature of friendship. Not the nature of your friendship.

You say that you love them more than those who would "applaud them". The only person here making any assumptions about other peoples' feelings is you. If you are incapable of responding to me in a mature, civil manner then don't bother to do so at all. I did not attack you no matter how much you try to pretend as if I did.




When did I say anything about tolerance? I was speaking of friendship and the importance of respect to maintaining a friendship. I never criticized her for not being a true friend. In fact, one of my comments said just the opposite. That can be clearly seen if you actually chose to read what I said and the response in which it was directed at.

I do not need to know the poster because I am not responding to the poster. I am responding to the post.

If America sucks so badly, you can purchase a passport, visa, and explore other options....

I moved here from another country, and I'll be moving back to that country in three years, to my great relief. But it will be in my own time, at my own desire, not that of anyone else.

I need to reflect on this...

So anyway, I shared a photo that said "Marriage= One Man, One Woman". A gay man later defriended/blocked me over it and asked me "If I were to attend my brother's wedding if he was married to a man" (Of course not!).

Why is is that politics ALWAYS seems to bring out the worst in people? It's AWFUL. Sigh...

I think I would go to my brother's wedding if he were marrying a man but it would depend a little on where he was marrying him - for example if the celebrant were a noted Satanist and the intended ritual was to be some kind of Satanic parody of a Catholic Mass then I'd decline the invitation to the ceremony but my reason would be the obviously provocative religiosity of the ceremony. If there were to be a fairly ordinary reception after the wedding I'd go to it, I think, if I were invited. My reason for saying yes is that family ties are strong and ought not to be broken over a disagreement on a matter that is not really hugely important. My attendance would mean that I loved my brother.

There were many reasons I deleted my facebook. The last straw was when one girl got mad at me for posting an anti-abortion thing about 9 month old babies being suffocated to death once they came out of the womb by abortion doctors and how the government was for it. I posted the word EVIL and she called me judgmental.... and I'm like I'm sorry I don't approve of killing innocent babies.

Good post [dont let them run you off] - I can let things go - tho i only had one heckler...

If someone argues with me i try to use diplomacy then i unfriend them if it doesnt stop.
Did that 1 time. Found him in a Catholic FB debate but he was over the top about men being in control in marriage [which is an error] ... and after all i put up with i just couldnt deal with it.

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

Well I'm quite sorry for the trauma our awful country has inflicted upon you. I pray you have the strength to endure us just a bit longer until you can secure safe passage from this place of wretchedness...

smh

You openly refer to homosexuality and same-sex marriage as evil and yet you wonder why this gay "friend" unfriended you on Facebook? Really? Think about it. If someone on your friends list posted that they believe Christianity or Catholicism is a cult and that all those who follow Jesus are evil hatemongers, would you really want to see that every time you log on?

You have a very strange understanding of what it means to be a person's friend. You do not have to agree with a person's lifestyle in order to be their friend but when you say that their lifestyle makes them "evil" then don't act surprised when they don't want to be friends with you. That's not how friends treat one another, regardless of religion or lifestyle choices.

Please stop. Sodomy IS evil. Sin is not normal. Death is not normal. Yet, both inevitably happen? Is that wrong to say?

I do NOT have a strange understanding. I NEVER EVER called ANYONE evil. DO NOT put words in my mouth. I respect and love ALL people...yet that does not mean I will condone everything they do.

Faithful to God until the end.

I would not attend. God comes first. MY loyalty is to him above all else.
