Look again at how we 'met'. You made a statement, I made a statement, so far so good. Then you responded with hostility. I'm not allowed to defend myself? I said I would leave you alone, but here you are. This blog is the only place no one can "moderate" me out of, so if you want to speak you can also start a blog, or post anywhere you want, because I'm going to just stay here now since I am as unwelcome in the discussion forum as anyone else.

I have no control over who posts what in any part of curezone, so why people keep accusing me of not allowing others to speak is beyond me. Are you allowed to challenge me (that was the title of your first post) but I'm not allowed to challenge you?

You said, "I believe we can discuss our differences in a civil manner. Are you willing to do that? I am willing to hear something and learn something from you, if you will only give discussion a chance. Will you?"

If I had been the one to say that, you would be understandibly upset. You have already judged me as being unwilling to listen and uncivil in manner. You have collected favorable votes for no reason other than that you oppose me. This is nothing I'm not used to.

I can take hate from unbelievers all day long, but when it comes from those claiming Christ I have no tolerance for that. I'm not the one turning on fellow believers around here, per your email. Why you thought that my responses to yours were not "discussion" I don't know. How can you demand discussion without opposition? Can you not tolerate disagreement? Am I supposed to only say words from some approved list? If opposition repulses you, why are you here in my blog? You seem to have plenty of support in the debate forum as well, and I did say I would leave you alone.

I'm sorry, but people here seem to think only they are allowed to speak their minds, but have a hissey if I speak. Fine, if that's what they think is right, but here in this blog I'm speaking. They'll have to ban me to shut me up. I can't and won't stop you from saying whatever you want, but as long as this blog exists I'm going to speak freely.
