Why does BK participate in gay topic threads?

[Elok]

Yeah, pretty much. I've seen a few people defend BK, but never by saying he was honest in discussion.

[ZEE]

The other issue is that you completely and amazing miss the point, as on this quote, so often that either you have massive trouble reading, cannot engage in interpreting text, or are intellectually dishonest.

Unlike you I don't say bad things about people who have helped me against their own interest. I could care less that Apolyton hates David Floyd. He helped me, and that's what matters to me. When Imran Siddiqui does a 10th of what Floyd has done, then maybe we can talk about him too.

[Elok]

...aaaaand you missed the point AGAIN (hint: the point has nothing to do with disparaging DF--loin mocked him only in passing).

[loinburger]

That's the difference between you and me. I don't talk about my sins because I believe that they are sinful and that they shouldn't be discussed. You don't believe your sins are sinful, so you talk about them and argue that other people should accept your sins as not sinful.

Which sins in particular have I argued are not actually sins? Reminder that I'm not a homosexual.

What, Ming and rah?

No

As for others, nobody you know.

So, nobody on Apolyton? You've accomplished nothing here by repeating your spiel over and over again?

That's not a vocation. What do you think my vocation should be?

You don't consider self-improvement to be a worthy life goal?

Dear, Apolyton is hardly 'the universe'

Thank you dr. pedantic

and I am hardly 'universally regarded' here as such.

What percentage would you consider to be a decent approximation of "universally"? I'd say that 95% would be a fair estimate of the number of posters who consider you to be a dishonest hypocrite

Stand up for yourself, Loin, speak what you believe, don't hide behind other people's skirts.

I did speak what I believe. I believe that you are loathed by such a significant percentage of Apolyton posters that you are either clueless or else a troll - there is no other explanation for why you would repeat yourself for years and expect anybody to listen.

So because Christ spent time with prostitutes that makes him a prostitute too?

And this is you being dishonest again.

[Ben Kenobi]

disparaging DF--loin mocked him only in passing).

And I'm going to stand by for Loin mocking my friend? No. Good thing Loin has huge balls behind a keyboard.

[loinburger]

And I'm going to stand by for Loin mocking my friend? No. Good thing Loin has huge balls behind a keyboard.

Threats from Ben? How very Christian of him.

Out of curiosity, what would you do if I mocked David Floyd in your presence? Assume that I am unarmed at the time.

[Ben Kenobi]

Which sins in particular have I argued are not actually sins? Reminder that I'm not a homosexual.

You believe that homosexuality is sinful? News to me.

No

Then who did you mean? I know they've both said these things.

So, nobody on Apolyton? You've accomplished nothing here by repeating your spiel over and over again?

So apparently Loin knows everybody who's ever posted on Apolyton.

You don't consider self-improvement to be a worthy life goal?

I don't consider it a vocation. A vocation is a task to which one devotes their life. I consider my vocation to be teaching for which self-improvement as a person and as a teacher is very much a part of engaging in a vocation.

Thank you dr. pedantic

You're welcome dr. hyperbole. Anytime.

What percentage would you consider to be a decent approximation of "universally"?

3-4 standard deviations from the mean.

I'd say that 95% would be a fair estimate of the number of posters who consider you to be a dishonest hypocrite

You should poll it see how we do.

I did speak what I believe.

Then why drag everyone else into it? Shouldn't it be enough to say, "I believe that you are a dishonest hypocrite" What is this supposed to be, an intervention?

I believe that you are loathed by such a significant percentage of Apolyton posters that you are either clueless or else a troll - there is no other explanation for why you would repeat yourself for years and expect anybody to listen.

It couldn't be because I actually believe what I'm posting? Gosh. Hubris and hyperbole. What a combo!

And this is you being dishonest again.

So you like saying nasty things about people behind their back. Gosh. Loin is such an awesome and cool person.

[Ben Kenobi]

Out of curiosity, what would you do if I mocked David Floyd in your presence? Assume that I am unarmed at the time.

Unarmed? I'd prolly kick your ass. Armed, I'd still kick your ass.

Same for Nikolai, etc, anybody who's my friend.

[loinburger]

More dishonesty from you.

I don't consider it a vocation. A vocation is a task to which one devotes their life.

...such as self-improvement...

You should poll it see how we do.

I already polled DFG, I don't intend to make a habit out of it.

Then why drag everyone else into it? Shouldn't it be enough to say, "I believe that you are a dishonest hypocrite" What is this supposed to be, an intervention?

Yes. You are under the impression that you are doing some good with all of your anti-gay rhetoric. If you realized that this is not the case then you might spend your time on doing something useful, or at least something less annoying.

It couldn't be because I actually believe what I'm posting? Gosh. Hubris and hyperbole. What a combo!

As I said. Clueless.

So you like saying nasty things about people behind their back. Gosh. Loin is such an awesome and cool person.

Floyd is a self-admitted fornicator and racist, and it certainly wouldn't hurt his feelings to be called as such - at least it hasn't in the past. All you're doing is playing the part of Internet Tough Guy.

[loinburger]

Unarmed? I'd prolly kick your ass. Armed, I'd still kick your ass.

Remove the log from your own eye

And I think that's my cue to bow out - until you've curbed your wrath you have no business addressing anybody else's sins. (Do you even consider wrath to be a sin?)

[Ben Kenobi]

More dishonesty from you.

So you don't believe that homosexuality isn't sinful?

self-improvement

Self-improvement is a part of every vocation, not a vocation in itself. I ask, since you seem to know what my vocation ought to be, what should I do for a vocation?

I already polled DFG, I don't intend to make a habit out of it.

Feelings > empirical data. What else are you feeling today, Loin? Happy? Sad?

Yes. You are under the impression that you are doing some good

I know I'm doing some good here.

with all of your anti-gay rhetoric.

People loved Christ so much that they thought he was the greatest dude ever and partied down with him. Oh wait...

If you realized that this is not the case then you might spend your time on doing something useful.

And apparently in Loin's world, naval gazing 'self-improvement' constitutes utility.

Floyd is a self-admitted fornicator and racist, and it certainly wouldn't hurt his feelings to be called as such - at least it hasn't in the past. All you're doing is playing the part of Internet Tough Guy

Hey loin, can I call you "Balls"? Cause you sure got 'em speaking ill of the man behind his back.

[Ben Kenobi]

And I think that's my cue to bow out - until you've curbed your wrath you have no business addressing anybody else's sins. (Do you even consider wrath to be a sin?)

Do you consider calumny to be a sin?

I appreciate the warning because I would never want to be on the receiving end of his ****** strength.

[loinburger]

What's disturbing (though not altogether unexpected) is that he thinks he's completely justified in meeting words with fists. It's fortunate that his Tough Guy persona is probably limited to the internet, so he can't do any actual harm.
