This is your personal sandbox for rants, not discussion - and the fact that you're willing to block comments because someone disagrees with you proves it.Mike Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335768638306462369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353719.post-7843971236560666262009-09-17T10:15:05.622-05:002009-09-17T10:15:05.622-05:00Leaving aside the fact that you've confused li...<a href="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-slander-and-libel.htm" rel="nofollow">Leaving aside the fact that you've confused libel with slander</a>, the definition of either one requires that I disseminate information I know to be false to the detriment of a person or corporation (sorry, Bible versions don't have legal standing in a libel case). This I refuse to do, and if you have any evidence that I have done so I am willing to apologise. I am, however, free to share my own opinion, and this I have done. I have also chosen to allow you to share your own opinions in comments to these posts. But please: hold fast to the truth; if you are just sharing your negative opinion without any facts to back it up, your comments will not be approved henceforth.<br /><br />If I have said anything about the motives of the CBT, it is of course my conjectured opinion, and doesn't reflect personally on any individual member of the CBT. I don't know them personally and have deliberately kept out of the discussion any personal correspondence I may have had with any particular member. <br /><br />I welcome the efforts of any CBT member toward resolving any misconceived ideas I may have about their motives or policies, but I will first have a question that I imagine will probably be hard for him to answer. If he can give a definitive answer (James 5:2), and it is "Yes," then I'll have one follow-up question that will need answered, and the discussion can begin.The White Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732782601569135839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353719.post-6556347604234041842009-09-16T17:11:41.838-05:002009-09-16T17:11:41.838-05:00Well...currently more than this blog does...but th...Well...currently more than this blog does...but this blog's lack of credibility has less to do with double talk and more to do with slander.Mike Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335768638306462369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353719.post-60199253637767671442009-09-04T16:47:37.711-05:002009-09-04T16:47:37.711-05:00Do you really think, with all the doubletalk, that...Do you really think, with all the doubletalk, that Biblica has any credibility left at this point?
