On the ISIS Turned Me Into a Hawk thread in Purgatory, MartinPCNot&Ship's Biohazard said of me

quote:
That's NOT what Jesus would have done. Or His disciples. I know that you can't know that. Due to the impossibility of squaring your literalism with His circular reasoning. I can. Know it. I don't have the problem of literalism to overcome any more. It's been given to me. The knowing. Not you. Yet.

To which I replied

quote:
His circular reasoning? I objected to YOUR circular reasoning. Now, you could be claiming to be Jesus. Come to think of it that would explain everything. Martin is Martin's own personal Jesus.

Eutychus told me to knock it off. I don't see how what I said about Martin is a personal attack if what he said about me is not. As I see it, Martin was attempting to end the discussion by claiming some mystical knowledge known to him that I just couldn't comprehend. That's a personal attack. If it isn't, then neither is my pointing out that Martin in making such a claim is setting himself up as his own personal Jesus.

You explicitly called Martin names (if I can describe someone being branded their own personal Jesus as calling them names). I read that as a personal insult. There is no way to pursue that line without descending into Hell.

I can see you might have found Martin's comment as exuding insufferable superiority, but as far as I can see it is not a direct insult - unless you believe it to be true.
