If a FReeper fancies himself a prophet and posts his prophecies, can he be criticized as a false prophet or does his status as a FReeper somehow protect him?
Because he is a Freeper it would be "making it personal" to call him a liar. That would be reading his mind and attributing to him the intent to deceive. It would also be "making it personal" to make the thread "about" him instead of whatever he said.
It would not however be "making it personal" to observe that he has called himself a prophet but that claim and/or his prophecies are false. In that case, to keep the thread from becoming "about" an individual Freeper be sure to cite authorities for discussion, e.g. Bible, Catechism.

What value do vanity religious pseudo prophecies bring FR? Why is this (and the rest of the odd posts by this false prophet) not coded a simple vanity in chat?

To make matters worse, this relatively-new “prophet” FReeper has chosen a name very similar to mine, and now people think I’m a nut posting weird stuff on the religion forum.
Which is a completely different discussion.
I was here first, and I wish this “prophet” would get a new name or go play elsewhere.
