It's more consistent with "Answer a fool according to his folly so that he will not be wise in his own eyes."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Obviously I would not joke like that with everybody, but the woman you describe would recognize good-natured sarcasm when she hears it.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostMaybe he's saying it in a very kind voice! Ever think of THAT?

Yeah... that fits more with your style. It couples the self-pretension of thinking you are wiser than the other person, with the arrogant assumption that anyone who doesn't agree with you or points out a way in which you are being inconsistent is a "fool." You should ditch the other one completely.Originally posted by Mountain Man View Post

I could not have described you any better. It's funny how our insecurities sometimes come out in the way we see other people, but a little honest introspection will do you a world of good.Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostSome may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

There's another Proverb of Solomon that says, "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you risk making yourself lke him."
You may continue with your childishly hypocritical tit-for-tat if you wish, but I'm done.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Nah...I think the point has been made, MM. But I do wonder at the label "childish." After all, I'm not the one resorting to "I'm rubber and you're glue" responses or calling other people names. And I have to admit to some disappointment. I was expecting a "pearls before swine" response. It seems to be a favorite exit line for so many...Originally posted by Mountain Man View Post

I realize that this may be difficult to fathom, but perhaps MM is responding the way he is because he actually believes it's true, not because he's stooping to childish insults. Maybe you shouldn't be doing the mindreading you decry.Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostNah...I think the point has been made, MM. But I do wonder at the label "childish."

Well, since this has never happened before in the history of Tweb....
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment

Oh I have no doubt that MM believes he's justified in all of his posting styles. He's made that abundantly clear. I don't need to read his mind - since he has repeatedly said as much.Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostThe ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
