That is true  --  hopefully you will come to  see your complicity in the problem, as well.

It is not the word, per se.  Calling people "pretender" or "hypocrite" is 
worse, in my opinion.  The real problem is turning the subject to being 
about the person you are discussing an issue with rather than continuing the 
dialogue.

Lance mentioned about the importance of framing questions rather than 
answers, and that was what I was doing when I asked you to define your 
terms. That is not what you were doing, at all. You were busy trying to convince who knows who
that I was functioning from a perspective of doubt and unbelief.  If you hadn't misrepresented what 
I wrote,  you would have made some progress.   But that is how you do business with me.  
Instead, you accused me of trying to win an argument and make you 
look bad.  How ridiculous.  Yes it is. 

Peace be with you.
David Miller.
