What is and is not DBing

[ArnieBGood]

Spirit? Seriously? We are invoking spirit as a defense to a challenge of inconsistency?

Hmmm - I missed where I was challenged of being inconsistent. I’d be happy to have any inconsistencies in what I have written pointed out.

Seriously?

Well, yes - I seriously believe it is in the spirit of DB - that’s what I wrote, and that's what I believe. That’s just my opinion and my perspective - and if you disagree, then I have no problem with that. I can't prove it it one way of the other.

Unfortunately whatever that is.. it ain't divorce-busting.

I never said it was - in fact I said the opposite:

what I am advocating would not (strictly speaking) be DB.

That’s great stuff.. but this thread is about what is and is not dbing.

So what’s the problem, then, in talking about something that is not DB? If it will help, I will omit the “strictly” from my statement and categorically state that what I am talking about is not DB. Better?

if it ain't coming from the text, then its something else... and not divorce-busting.

Okay. Then it’s something else.

And saying something is dbing "in spirit" but "not strictly speaking" is just being evasive.

It’s just being honest, since that’s how I understand the spirit of DB to be. However, since it evidently is creating a problem, and since it’s subjective anyway, I’m happy to say that it’s not DB.

Just tell me where the idea came from instead of telling me it came from the text..

Maybe I didn’t make it clear that I was not quoting the text - perhaps you would be willing to point out where that was said, so I can retract/correct it.

if someone tells me it came from the text and I can't find it.. I will call you on it...

Good! I’m happy to have someone watching out for that. Now that place where I said it was from the text is where?
