Four questions for Christians

[Consilius]

TQ isn't an issue of revenge. That the narrative is a revenge story is ancillary and unrelated to why your argument failed on the grounds of TQ. Though, admittedly,explanations for revenge often amounts to TQ.

TQ is simple. Discrediting the position of another by reference to some "bad" thing that another party has done. Somebody else can do "bad" things all day long, and that won't establish that what -you- did is good..or at the very least, not bad. IOW, avoiding the point and attacking the arguer (or who the arguer serves as a proxy for). Following? If using an example unrelated to this discussion would help, say the word (not that I'm going to do anything more than quote one of my own posts in this thread that has already been mentioned for you-but hey...if it helps...).

In that case, any act of punishment on anybody is "bad".
