Hi, JD!

I appreciate your sentiments, and I know they are pretty common on this
NG.  However, I do love Brother Steve.  I just do not have any
intentions of letting him dictate how I feel about him and what he
says.  I cannot control what Brother Steve says, and I don't approve of
his methods and his madness, but I can control my own reactions to him. 
I will not follow his example.  He is wrong, IMO, on most things, and I
am really convinced he is just joking around.  He might not always think
he is joking, but I find much of what he says to be hilarious.  And I am
not making fun of him; he is really funny!  I like it when he gets so
exercised that he cannot think of much else to do than call people FCS,
and I feel like I am the CEO of his club.  When he tells folks that I am
a tritheist, I know everyone on the NG, including Steve, knows he is
joking.  I have proven my point conclusively, and he knows it, so what
can I conclude but that he is joking?  Nobody can really be that thick
and ignorant, without either trying very hard, or being funny.  Since he
doesn't try very hard at listening, or at reading the Bible, or at
formulating a consistent, serious argument, what is left but being
funny?  And you have to admit, he is pretty good at that!

Thanks for the post, but I really am serious about loving Steve, just as
he is.  As I said, nobody who approaches things with such complete and
willfull ignorance could ever be taken seriously.  Repeating the silly
"arguments" he tries to advance, over and over, without addressing any
of the issues being raised, from his ethereal ordination to the equally
ethereal documents saying Trinitarians are tritheists, is an obvious
attempt at humor, not serious discussion.  I especially liked his
"curse"!  I have felt so much better physically since that curse, I have
asked for another.

I can understand where you are coming from, and sometimes Steve does get
a bit tiresome, but you gotta love the guy as a comedian!  So, I am
being honest in what I write.  And I will not allow Brother Steve to get
me to act in a way similar to his so-called judgmental approach and I
won't call him FCS.  It would be great, of course, if he could at least
develop a bigger vocabulary.  He has shown some promise by calling me
the "doggie man," whatever that means.  And as far as calling me a
whore, I finally offered him a 1% discount for the free advertising! ;-)

Peace,
