I agree. Just ignore the guy.
What makes things worse is Mark, following him around on every thread, mucking up every thread and destroying conversations, in the name of “hunting down” heretics.
There’s been a lot worse people than Josh on this site. Mark makes it worse by amplifying everything Josh says and turning every thread into a witch hunt.
If one wanted to destroy a website, uncharity is just as bad as quasi-heresy. It’s uncharitable to impose your witch hunt into every conversation and copy-paste the same posts, repeatedly.
It’s also uncharitable to post overlong, article/length views, on threads which have nothing to do with your posts.
So Mark, in your quest to “out” Josh, your acting rude towards everyone else. It needs to stop. This site has become disorderly and chaotic due to your Joo-spam. Not everything is about them.
Matthew was no push-over. He was persuaded by the evidence provided him by a sufficient number of members to BAN joshxxx.
It is revealing of your personal investment that, despite Matthew's cautious analysis and resultant BAN, you are still abetting and shilling for joshxxx.
Do think that just maybe there is even the slightest possibility that your (plural) zealous encouragement of joshxxx and your (singular) phony "distinctions" born of your self-vaunted genius
unnecessarily protracted the process? Do think that just maybe there is even the slightest possibility that your (plural) zealous encouragement of joshxxx and your (singular) phony "distinctions" born of your self-vaunted genius prompted me to post several extended and well-referenced rebuttals to his (and
your "spirit" of the Pharisees) Judaizing? Would you like some cheese with your whine?
An analogy: If a cancer is removed at an early stage, the cancer does not spread as widely, much less aggressive treatment is necessary, and damage to the patient is less.
I am happy to be in the good company of one of my patron saints:
"The declared enemies of God and His Church, heretics and schismatics, must be criticized as much as possible, as long as truth is not denied. It is a work of charity to shout: 'Here is the wolf!' when it enters the flock or anywhere else." St. Francis de Sales, Introduction to the Devout Life, Part III, Chapter 29.
and my daughter's patron saint:
"It is the greatest cruelty to use ointment where it is necessary to cut deep with steel and cauterize with fire." St. Teresa of Avila in Tito Casini, The Last Mass of Paul VI, N. Devon: Britons, 1971, p. 90.
