re: #328 Buck

There is nothing to debate. When you ask someone “Are you positive?” it’s because you are saying that they hold that position, and you’re asking if they’re positive.

It’s depressing you can’t even admit to the tactics you’re using to push your argument. Lying about my position is not a good way to make your argument.

My argument makes sense to me if I am saying the counterprotesters against Phelps were moderate Christians.

Heh. Yes.

However, what you are claiming you mean is ‘included moderate Christians’, not ‘were moderate Christians’.

You see, if you say they were moderate Christians, that really does actually mean you’re saying they were only moderate Christians. That’s how language works.

Here’s you saying it again:

I support the less organized, and grassroots response. Comic Con was just one example. Every Phelps gathering has been counter protested. Moderate Christians, if you will, who cannot stand by and allow his voice to be the only one heard.

Finally: The post you responded to was talking about the Catholic Church in addition to Phelps. The “Church” referenced in that post was the Catholic Church, not Westborough Baptist.
