A typo is stumbling? Your standards are at perfectionist levels!

If you don't like it, then I invite you to shove it, because I find it even more ironic that you'll play off your spelling error as something I'm making too big a deal of in one sentence, and then in the very next sentence you'll proceed to make an even bigger deal out of what you just got through characterizing as me being a piffling pedant.
Writing may be your jam and all but clearly common sense isn't. I'm typing on a cell phone not a key board. I've even got the cell phone logo on my posts. You're trying to draw too much blood from an insignificant typo. You look like a god damn ass clown for it. Can it bro. You are a piffling pedant who's claiming not to be one. How's that for irony?

If so then great. But I want Kitanetos to speak for himself because I do believe he was trolling christians. Don't be bias and choose a favourable interpretation simply because he is one of your own. Be consistent! Bullshit is bullshit regardless of who speaks it.
Ah, and here you presume to speak for me and from where I derived my interpretation from. That's interesting, that the person downplaying my contribution here because it's my interpretation will then expect me to bow to his interpretation of my thought processes.
Could it be that perhaps I came up with my position on this on my own? Is there the slightest possibility that the way you interpret the OP isn't so blindingly obvious and clearly true that everyone else must be thinking it too? Maybe, just maybe, those of us that are disagreeing with you on this aren't doing so due to some bias (which is itself a catch cry of the religious when we disagree with them, to add yet another layer of hypocrisy to this whole mess) but because we genuinely disagree?
I swear, the further you go the more presumptive and petty you show yourself to be.
Are you kidding me? Are you denying that members of the same group see each others' transgressions through rose tinted glasses? No comparison to the religious will change this. Now your appeal to the number of people that disagree with me is some sort of proof? Like I said bullshit is bullshit no matter how many people endorse it. Your comparisons of me to the religious do very little to make me see my error. The longer Kitanetos takes to respond the more I think my interpretation is correct and I called him out rightly. He's busy hiding behind the kudos system instead of being a man and telling me that I'm wrong about him. Why not keep yourself busy with that.

Another typically theistic perspective, where disagreeing positions are just interpretations, but yours are objective facts.
Utter bullshit! The very fact that I'm calling out one of my own should be testament to my fairness. You be a fool to ignore that.

These kind of forums are usually aimed at enlightenment of a corrective nature. It's a poor display that we expect theists to be so receptive of our correction yet we spit venom when corrected ourselves.
Being corrected based on the presumptuous claims of a newbie who seems to think he knows better than us how our forum is run is more than a little grating.
So it's not so much that I'm wrong but it's because I'm new? Wow that's pretty pathetic. Who's petty now?

This discussion would only have been 3 posts long.
I did that at the outset: all you did was dismiss my words as an interpretation. It must be very easy to talk the talk when you're unaware of how you're failing to walk the walk.
If I remember correctly you were excusing Kitanetos' actions by appealing to the general behaviour of christians. We're not playing in the sand box anymore. This isn't kindergarten.
