Dont you think it could come over as hypocritical to others? [/quote] I understand it to mean ignorant as in lack essential knowledge [Catholicism]. not ignorant as in rude.

[/quote] Ignorant means - lack of knowledge. Where did you get, rude from? Still. I was just asking. No contempt.

I was just asking. No contempt. [/quote] Here [ in Penna at least ] if you say someone is ignorant it can mean two different things: a] lacking knowledge or b] rude Thats why I am clarifying, because I didn't know if you knew that. I didn't want it interpreted the wrong way. Just because we both speak English doesn't mean we attach the same meaning to the same words.
MorphRC Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Main Entry: ig·no·rant Pronunciation: 'ig-n(&-)r&nt Function: adjective 1 a : destitute of knowledge or education <an ignorant society>; also : lacking knowledge or comprehension of the thing specified <parents ignorant of modern mathematics> b : resulting from or showing lack of knowledge or intelligence <ignorant errors> [url="http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=ignorant"]http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book...ary&va=ignorant[/url] Differing meaning. Ok. I meant the first meaning, my one.
cmotherofpirl Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 (edited) I am sure you meant the first meaning, but other people from here might mistakenly attach the second one. Didn't want to start a debate on a silly topic, when other ones are much more interesting. Edited September 24, 2004 by cmotherofpirl

Not my fault your dialect of english is screwed up.
Kilroy the Ninja Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Ok folks. Let's debate something here or this thread risks getting moved to one of the [i]other[/i] boards. Have a nice day!
Kilroy the Ninja Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 To what? What exactly was your question? Please post a debateable question - other than the ambiguous, is there anything you'd like to discuss - or I'm moving this thread. Thanks.
mulls Posted September 24, 2004 Author Posted September 24, 2004 fine. Mrs. Bro Adam, please discuss your sig quote. everybody happy now?
MartinLuther Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 I have two questions for Mrs Bro Adam: 1. If I was to make the same comment about Catholics on one of the phorums that you moderate here, would I be warned and censored? 2. When are you going to change your signature to conform with the phorum guidelines?
jasJis Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Actually, I don't think Mrs. Bro Adam is technically Catholic at this time. I'm not sure. If she is Catholic, it is very recent (within the last few months), though Bro Adam is Catholic now. (For some reason I don't think they joined the Catholic Church at the same time. It wasn't a big point to me becaus I saw how they were responding to God's grace so I knew it was going to happen.) I think her sig is being interpreted as possibly offensive because you don't know the context of the story of her faith journey. It's generally known here, and I believe the question about her sig is a legitimate one if you are willing to be open-minded to an answer that is not hateful of Protestants. Both Bro Adam and Mrs. Bro Adam are devout, sincere, and committed Christians, whose response to the call of Christianity and Grace has led them to the Catholic Church. Wether they are Catholic or not, did not have much to do with them being moderators on the NFP Board. As Christians, their beliefs lined up with the Christian teachings of the Catholic Church on this subject and they asked to be moderators (and asked for the creation of that phorum) because of their passion and commitment to the subject.
