I think your last comment is directed toward me and not Nomo, because it was me that brought it up. And it wasn't just the fact that you made that comment to stillme that raised my eyebrows. It was that you made it twice, word for word, without any other comment about her sitch, how she was doing, etc. It seemed purely unpure and less than Christian of you. Also, if I would've seen any other comments at all from you on still's thread, I might've thought differently about the statement you had made. However, that just wasn't the case and thus it seemed out of place.
I think I was likely too harsh toward you on Sandi2's thread about that comment, but Nomo is right in what you seem to post and who you seem to post to. Quite honestly, I strongly question your Christian faith and moral principles, but mostly because of the way you tend to address people and their sitches here. I know that my comments to you on Sandi's thread were less than desireable, but I can't imagine a man of serious faith retaliating with name calling such as "idiot," "prick," and "sorry ass," the way you did me (and those kinds of statements can't be taken out of context). Couple that with the insincere, "strip-'em-down-and-hose-off-the-impurities" type of posting you do to people (in particular, newbies) who may have made some poor choices -- or choices you personally disagree with -- causes you to come across as crass at best.
Like Nomo said, if you would empathize with people and put some actual time and consideration into your posts to them, the fact that you really do care will show. It's easier for a person to accept and understand the humor you claim to be using once you've established relationships with them first. Otherwise it just seems a little hurtful. Please take this all into consideration. I would love to wipe the slate clean with you, Brandon, and would love to see your opinions more often and presented in a way that shows the compassion I'm sure you have for people and their struggles.
