I have no problem not slandering people, I even started this thread on the subject and you and others on this thread said here that there's nothing wrong with slandering that if I can't take it, to not speak about controversial subjects. Do you think that the phases above are worse than I calling you an A-hole, a leg spreader, or accusing you of glorifying your sinful life with girls.... as you and others have used against me innumerable times. No, you have clearly stated many times that all name calling is Ok, because we are not real people. The problem here is that you can't take it.

Making slanderous (libelous) statements is NOT ok.

But I have to agree with Last Tradhican on this one narrow point: calling names is not charitable. Mark79, every time you call LT a "leg spreader" you are *not* helping your case any. You are guilty of the classic blunder of "sinking to his level" and I know you are better than that.

Mark79 and Ladislaus (and others) are the sane ones -- THE ONES IN-THE-RIGHT -- in these MJ threads, and I completely agree with them. But name calling like that is wrong ON ANY SIDE. Don't let them bait you. Don't sink to their level. Keep the moral high ground.

I must point out, though, that calling someone a simple name is not quite as bad as making a specific slanderous accusation. Anyone who can't see the difference is beyond help:

A) "A**holes like you..."    "Potheads and dopers"
B) "You are a Rabbi sent to infiltrate and undermine this forum."

A is just mindless name calling, obviously the result of emotion and uttered in the heat of an argument. Sometimes such names can even have a touch of wit/cleverness or biting critique.
B is a cold, premeditated, malicious effort to LIE and DESTROY a person's good name -- keeping in mind there is zero evidence for the accusations thrown out. The accuser *knows* they are false, but he utters them anyhow. That shows a certain premeditation and malice. Also, the accuser is in complete earnest about the accusation. He goes out of his way to show it's NOT just a name he's calling. He's taking it to the next level.

It may be sinful to call names, but it is *not* the same level of malice as telling a known lie to destroy someone's reputation.

Scripture talks about not blabbing your sins to the world, because others will "defend your sin as it were" and despise you for it. If LT hadn't told the world about his past life, Mark wouldn't have that ammo to use against him. I'm not saying throwing someone's past (presumably confessed?) sins in their face isn't wrong -- I'm just saying it's a much lower level of malice.

See I don't see it the way you do. To me it is very simple, a man should not call another man any names unless they want to get a fist in their face. To me calling someone names on the internet is no different and anyone that does it is just a coward hiding behind a screen.

unless they want to get a fist in their face.

You have never and can never quote anyone here for "condoning sin."

You are a habitual liar.

I/we promote the appropriate and judicious medical use of MJ for people suffering serious, even life-threatening, diseases. No sin.

I/we tolerate the appropriate and judicious social use of MJ according to established moral theology principles. No sin.

I/we have been quite clear from my/our earliest posts that there are some people for whom MJ use is inappropriate (e.g., schizophrenics, people with susceptibility to substance abuse). No sin.

I have never, nobody here has ever, made "being stoned seem completely normal."

Quite the contrary to your layers of lies, I/we have consistently and repeatedly stated that to lose one's inhibition or reason is objectively sinful (except as moral theology allows for treatment of severe pain, etc.). Recognizing and acknowledging the limits of sinless use.

Instead of addressing these carefully circuмscribed positions, you have raged with bizarre caricatures as now, claiming I/we promote global use of MJ as the norm. Serious sin—objectively.

Why is it that you don't cite the horrible things that Mark79 has posted on this subject, towards those who disagree with him?
