Matthew, Bob has not gone soft on me. He is just more seasoned it would
appear in debating potentially explosive topics than both you and I.
And FYI I admire the heck out of anybody who is sincerely trying to
lead me to what they believe is the truth! That's what I do constantly
in my life and I admire those who think I'm "mislead" and make the
effort to try help me "see the light". But bashing JWs or incessantly
pointing out my personality flaws ain't gonna cut it. I don't sense you
are trying to help me Matthew you come across as someone who is trying
to win an argument at all costs. Every single typo, badly spelled word,
any accident I make here you call me on it and try to use it to
discredit me or JWs in order to "win". You are constantly assuming the
very worst in me- which is not love see (1 Cor. 13:4-8) You come across
as somebody who is in it merely for the debate and self-consciously
makes up for a weak case by insult and inflammatory rhetoric. It just
brings out the worst in me.

Matthew, Bob is not "quick to agreeing with this slanderer of all
trinitarians" (which i figure must be me). He agrees with you
overwhelmingly more than he does me- if he even agrees with me at all I
don't know. Please don't berate him for looking at things objectively.
It sounds like he is trying to be fair to all would-be Christians and
help you be more balanced. When I read your hostile responses to him It
reads like you're talking to me. Bob thinks I'm out of my gourd on the
trinity, church fathers, etc...and he has let me know such no uncertain
manner. The difference is that he does it with more tact and finesse
and thus he can tell me I'm "way out of my league" on something and I
won't take offense.

As far as me being "slanderer of all trinitarians" that's rather harsh.
I admit I have failed frequently to give a good witness by my conduct
here (Sarah has better self-control for sure) but I do not intend to<
