Love your enemies

No, were you trying and failing?

Can you show me where i said annoyed or not.

Probably not. It's not a debate (least that's what I thought?). I can't hear your tone of voice. Maybe changing your statements and questions to be less commands and more introspective will help not get that type of response from people.

'not sure of your personality in person, but it's constructive criticism whether you agree to it or not.

So posting a thread in "general debates" is not supposed to be debated. Wow, is that one of your not dictionary meanings?

So still no evidence that i said annoyed. So instead poke personal queries instead. So do you often make accusations you can't back up?

And you seem to be confused about the meaning of projection.

Debating and arguing are two different things.

Yes. And the more I'm talking, the more I'm forgetting what I'm trying to understand. I'm waiting for @Ausie to explain it (if that's her choice).

Maybe not dictating what emotions people have would ensure a less confrontational discussion

Someone needs to explain it

I acknowledge your (context) your concern. I looked all the posts you and Assui posted and only can come up with 1. saying that people internalize hate based on lack of forgiveness and 2. saying this isn't personal.

Maybe it's the generalization?
Clarifying what Fool said (he didn't correct me)

I have no clue.

I can't defend my views if I don't understand what you're talking about to form an opinion about it. All I read is "you did this..." it's not productive.

Convenient eh?

One last time, are you going to validate your claim that I said i was annoyed or do we leave it open

Don't wait too long. Your tone is stronger than your words. It's constructive criticism. Whether you believe me or not is irrelevant.

Very convenient to you but never mine, there is no point, you define my emotions to suite youeself and ignored reality. I wonder what the reason is for that.

Ok so you cannot justify your claim so pretend you never made the claim. You do realise most people would honestly admit their error. Perhaps you dont, i don't know.

How did I define your emotions?

You are taking offense at something

I cannot defend.

I said "probably not".

The point still stands. Your tone is accusative.

Read your own posts.

The point is you made a false accusation against me, you know you cannot defend it and you will not admit your error . How do you want my tone to sound?

Least you clarified what you have an issue with in one short post. That. I appreciate.

1. How did I made an accusation against "you" personally?

The posts you listed 218 or something else did not mention you

2. You'd have to clarify the error. I can't find any "you-statement" anywhere

3. Thanks for acknowledging your tone. I can't find another word at he moment but annoyed. The context is the same regardless the word.

That's funny. I had you on my ignore list years ago. A good fifteen of you all.

Dont worry. You probably not the only one. Smile sometimes. Not everyone is accusing you of stuff.

Christine. You used the word "annoyed" in your post. I'm acknowledging your emotions, and replying to it. Having feelings of frustration, annoyance, Whatever, is natural when you're trying to get a point across and the other isn't getting it. It's human.

Interesting how people can ignore their own dishonesty

Do you believe you can love your enemies?

If so, would it make sense to call the person you love an enemy?

Love your enemies means for example loving (and forgiving) Hitler.

Do you love your enemies?

Love them?,no way, recognising they're an enemy has been an aid to survival throughout history imo.
