Look -

We've butted heads. We're quite sure where the other guy stands.

Nothing fourther is to be gained by exchanging correspondence.

How about you just ignore my posts, and make no references to me, and I'll just ignore your posts, andmake no refernces to you.

DEAL???

I'm serious.

Its kind of ironic that two of the most intelligent people on this board can't have an intelligent calm discussion.  Its almost like matter and antimatter the way you two go at it!

How about we look at this board as a mini school and we keep God out of it!  How's that sound?

It does seem kinda unrealistic...
For if one makes a comment on someone elses post then the other must remain silent?...or will this only apply to posts generated by the two?
Anyway good luck to the both of y'all...too bad it has to come to this...

what i don't understand is why the focus isn't on the [b]subject matter[/b] in the first place?

whatever the topic?  so who cares if you disagree?  the reality is that you don't need to ignore each other to behave civilly towards each other.

IM oh-so-humbleO, i think it speaks of greater respect, consideration, and maturity to be able to continue the discussions than to have to agree to ignore each other.  with the latter, what you're saying is that basically, you can't respond without resorting to childish name-calling or something other stupid crap.  that you let anger and indignation get the better of you and control your posting.

frankly, i'm a bit disappointed.

That's all been tried. And re-tried. To the point of being re-fried.

In my estimation, I post on topics, and attack ideas. Eric returns by posting charachterizations of me, and who I am.

He prolly feels the same, but in reverse.

For the greater good, it makes sense to simply "agree to disagree" and NOT pummel each other to death.

We can all still discuss ANY topic, but since I beleive what I beleive, as does he, and we've exchanged viewpoints ad nauseum, and NEITHER he nor I have budged an inch, we should NOT BOTHER trying to convince each other anymore.

what's wrong with just presenting the facts and ignoring the IDENTITY of the person you're debating?

besides, i hardly see you as the type of personality that would NOT respond to something that you believe is fundamentally wrong.

I'm looking for a peaceful resolution to the situation, and Eric dredges up past threads I had made (BTW, I spoke PEROSNALLY with him on the phone a few weeks ago, and we BOTH agreed at that time it was a dead issue. But apparently Eric will now break his word AGAIN, as he throws those three threads in my face YET AGAIN) and takes a cheap shot about me "getting my panties all in a wad."

Uh-oh, again. The deal was not posting to each other, no references TO each other.

Not 'about' each other, 'cause whenever someone posts about 'Israel Firsters', I could claim that's a veiled reference 'about' me.

When someone else posts about supporters of terrorism, someone could complain that that was a reference 'about' them.

Nope, it pretty much has to be 'to, not 'about.'

why don't you try keeping your end of the deal?  even if ETH breaks the deal in your eyes, be the better man and keep your end.  it's just as bad to point out he's breaking it as it is for him to break it.

you make it sound like you won't uphold your part of the agreement unless he does?  what will that solve?  it takes two to tango. if you won't respond, he'll quit offering the bait.

Uhmmm, isn't this a Catch-22?  If he sees this posts and agrees to the deal, but posts that he agrees to the terms, then by posting he has ipso facto broken his end of the agreement by not ignoring the post in the first place.

gman,

Since when does any member get to decide what another member can/should do?  Posting in a public forum opens you up to all comers, like it or not.  People just can't help but be themselves, including you.  This just looks like you're trying to silence the opposition, frankly.

If you're so offended by what ETH posts, ignore it.  While I don't agree with all the ETH says, I've always found him to post with humor, intelligence, and a basic respect for others.  Occasionally he jabs, at you mostly, and usually with good reason.  

For someone with such strong opinions about things, I find it ironic that you'd be offended by others doing the same thing.

I didn't realize how bad you two were at each other, being I'm very new to AR15.com. We had a excellent theological discussion the other day and I received some good insight.  I feel both of you are striving to be good Christian men, so I must ask you to remember what Jesus said in Matthew 22:34-40.

The Greatest Commandment

34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[2] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[3] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
