Re: [TruthTalk] Here is Part of the Problem of Doing Things Lance's Way -- MODERATED

[Judy Taylor]

jt: I confess that I am at a loss to understand this new way of defining "ad hominem" because it appears to me that ANY disagreement at all is termed "ad hominem" now.   This is my third warning as you well know Slade and yet my conscience is clear so far as violating, tearing down, or denigrating any other person. Does this mean I am now forbidden to disagree with any idea or position set forth by anyone else on TT without it being considered an ad hominem and having to be MODERATED? If this is so then where does the following exchange fall?    Lance wrote: As to the 'Jt' segment of TT I thank you for your answer. No suprises were contained therein. I'd like to go further but, can't fail to see the moderator looking over my shoulder. 'Nuff said. To be seen as a Woman of the Word, as you are, is all that one could hope for in anyone (female that is).   I asked Lance: Why does the 'moderator' trouble you now that it is Slade? I don't remember you being concerned about much of anything when Charles Perry was moderating. (which was so since Charles asked us to stop the 'one liners' which Lance is famous for and was promptly ignored) and Lance replied: "Judy: It was a joke. Smile from time to time;it won't hurt you. We must also learn to smile at ourselves."   Now this exchange is totally void of anything other than sarcasm and Lance's personal opinion about my person which I understand to be the crux of "ad hominem" and it makes a mockery of moderation as a whole as opposed to what I wrote about the futility of Lance's idea of promoting "contemporary scholars" in order to  understand the book of Romans....  jht       On Thu, 23 Dec 2004 17:27:39 -0500 "Slade Henson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: This is your friendly ad hominem notification. This is begin sent publicly with the first ad hominem highlighted. I don't want to offend, but at the same time, David Miller made it clear I need to take a bit more active role in moderating the list.  Thank you for your continued involvement in TruthTalk. I enjoy learning and conversing with you all. G-d bless you and make your efforts profitable. -- slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Judy Taylor Sent: Thursday, 23 December, 2004 10.06 To: truthtalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: [TruthTalk] Here is Part of the Problem of Doing Things Lance's Way
