Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Which leads me to today’s top 12 list of America’s most influential Catholics:

1-6: Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor

7: Speaker of the House John Boehner

8. Vice President Joe Biden

9. Rick Santorum, former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania

10. Archbishop Timothy Dolan

11. Stephen Colbert

12. Blogger Andrew Sullivan

Biden is a CINO dimocrat. I would replace him with Jeb Bush or Newt Gingrich.

I’m not claiming anything, I am asking you to explain and substantiate this claim of yours.

I have read the same or similar statistics for years. I am sure that you can easily find it.

Pelosi and Biden aren’t Catholic. Andrew Sullivan damn well isn’t Catholic. They may SAY they are, but they aren’t.

1840's in many cities in the Northeast. New York and Philly I know off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure Boston as well.

Show your sources or quit claiming it, it is not our job to prove every internet claim made by strangers.

On freerepublic (and all conservative sites), we are expected to support our own posts of supposed facts and history.

You've made your point - don't badger a Freeper with the same question again and again. That is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

I forgot that this was religion, but are we required to accept un sourced WWII statistics as facts, when badgered to?

saradippity made his post to me on WWII history and I requested his source for the statistic, that is badgering?

[Religion Moderator]

Asking a poster the same question over and over again is badgering, a form of "making it personal."

If the poster cannot or will not answer your question after a few attempts, then it is sufficient to declare your point and move to something else. In this case, you might say "Since you have not provided a source in response to my requests, the statement that blah will be presumed false."

...and I do not answer to you

[ansel12]

Since you have not provided a source in response to my requests, the statement that blah will be presumed false.

If you would post that freepmail you sent me, onto this thread, I think that it would give a whole new meaning to vile, personal attack.
