I noticed if I don't nip stuff in the bud, I start becoming mean myself and feeding into it. So it's always better to take the higher road in life.
I've noticed that your "high road" often involves a passive/aggressive withdrawal which includes parting shots like "you can consider this a learning experience", etc.

I have not blocked that user but i have you. Yes, i was getting bitter at the end. it was sort of gloating. I knew I was right and I was gloating over your position. Which is not what Jesus would do. He teaches not to be happy when your enemy falls. So i hope you can tell the difference between my short commings and His perfection. However please respect my wishes and cease all contact from here on out. I don't trust that you have debate in mind anymore and are posting out of emotion. You have been for awhile. It's best to take a step back at that point and reavaluate. Take care and enjoy the visiting the christian forums.

Dear gradyll,
I have never blocked or reported another member before, nor will I start to do so now. However, don't expect me to validate your persecution complex, your ego-inflating "martyrdom" or your utterly unmerited sense of superiority and "winning" by continuing to debate you.
You "lost" this whole discussion as soon as you insisted that "lesser evils" are in fact just a fancy way of saying "good", that torturing people is morally acceptable, and that 60,000 parking tickets should be punished the same way as cannibalizing your neighbour's toddler because adding offenses up catapults even minuscule misdeeds to epic proportions.

thank you for the comment. I don't have a superiority complex that I know of, at least. In debate you can seem to track errors in other people for debate purposes, this may have been confused with superiority. Sorry about that.
You "lost" this whole discussion as soon as you insisted that "lesser evils" are in fact just a fancy way of saying "good",
it is a common way of saying "better" actually.
that torturing people is morally acceptable
if the alternative is watching 1,000,000 people die from a nuclear device that one person, interrogated would reveal, yes it would be more moral. I don't look at it as 100% moral, and have never said that. So it is a misquotation of my views which is a fallacy (evolutionists call misquotations, quote mines).

and that 60,000 parking tickets should be punished the same way as cannibalizing your neighbour's toddler because adding offenses up catapults even minuscule misdeeds to epic proportions.
this is in light of the Bible. So saying that looking at someone is adultery, and anger is murder, is part of scripture. I did make a logical argument for eternal hell successfully. Which has not been refuted. Sorry for the delay.
