There's a difference there."<BR/><BR/>Appeared to be so? How so, Rev? Can you refer to any one thing that "appeared" to be "hate" or "anger"? <BR/><BR/>At any rate, thanks for the "clarification" that you did not say I "hated Tom Ascol" or was "actually angry."Bob L.

Why don't you just ask Tom Ascol why he published a comment on his blog which called Bob Ross a "goof-ball" and relay it to me. He has never explained why he published it, and never offered an apology for doing so. Only after I confronted him about the comment did he take it down. If I had not objected to it, it might still be on the blog.<BR/><BR/>Your nit-picking about how I referred to this is of no consequence. You accused me of "hating" Tom Ascol and said I was an "angry" man, yet your only "proof" offered is that I refer to the Founders as "Flounders."<BR/><BR/>You, my brother, are not embellishing the "Rev" title you use.<BR/>Why not opt for "Dev," suggesting your "devilish" practice of making unrighteous judgment about me?Bob L.

He only removed it after I complained, and he did not offer one word of apology for its being posted.<BR/><BR/>May I suppose, if Ascol published a post by someone which was filled with cuss words or blasphemy, you would also not hold him responsible?Bob L.

It's the old diversionary device of attacking the messenger in the effort to discredit his message. Depict the person as a goofball, angry, and one who hates, and thereby discredit his materials.<BR/><BR/>And that seems to work -- at least with a certain type of mind, especially the Hybrid Calvinist types who are wed to Hybrid Calvinism, such as James White, Gene Bridges, and their kindred who have nothing better to offer than such personal disparagement of those who differ with them.<BR/><BR/>But the fact is, the only persons who are discredited by that type of commentary, Rev., are those who are so desperate they choose to resort to its use.Bob L.
