You have complained in the past that people have attacked you when you are simply trying to "love your neighbor." Can you not see how very rude your reply to Matt is?
Once again, TBN members were having a logical, technical, and civil discussion. Once again, you have interjected yourself into the discussion as if this were all about you and your opinion being not only the right opinion, but what you consider to be factual truth. You endlessly brag and boast about your choice of the BX23. When others make their own choices about what to buy, you obnoxiously try to rub their noses in the dirt. Rather than trying to relate to others in a way that is friendly and respectful of them, your comments convey to people that you are right and they are wrong. Your approach and comments are not helpful; they are unkind and unfriendly.
Long ago, I had an old great uncle. He was a very quiet and humble man of very few words. I remember from my childhood, a plaque on the wall of his store which said, "O Lord, Help me to have something kind to say, and if I cannot find something kind to say, please help me to keep my big mouth shut." He practiced what that plaque said. I think this would be a good motto for all of us, myself included, "Say something nice, or don't say anything at all." With all due respect, Mr. Brown, the things you say in your posts are frequently not nice at all. Give it some serious thought: Do you want people to like you, or do you get more satisfaction out of keeping people angry at you? You could make friends here if you wanted, but it depends on the way you treat and behave toward others.
