    Gee, just the other day you were condemning him for the actions for some backward 55 bed hospital and accusing him for being all about business. Sure you did not mention his name but you said Catholic Church and who would be more in charge of the catholic church then the Pope? I guess your views change like the New England weather or whoever's personal email you are trying to get.

     




     

    Ooooo-k.   That would be a challenge for you! Do YOU even know how many email addresses YOU have of YOUR own? It's has to be some where in the 100's!! 



     




    Interesting..and not surprising. I am following a policy of ignoring Jackbu. Some people just simply look for attention and don't care whether it is positive or negative. More than one person on this site has commented the lack of class and character he has shown with the personal comments regarding e-mail exchanges that happened "off the board". It is all good. I will not stoop to his level..however if he continues to have difficulty moving on from the personal aspect of our interactions...then I will gladly help him out...starting with posts on Yelp..TA and Boston.com about a certain south shore business "owner" who uses the names of ex girlfriends to write fake reviews about "his" business...

    cricket,

    I agree about those comments. At the time I did not comment because I did not want to feed the beast, so to speak.

    I have been holding back but I think I can put this all to rest. When jack started posting again after the paywall went up he made it clear he had been on suspension...not a voluntary BDC vacation.

    Before that he also made it clear there were 2 categories of posters he would not deal with. Those with multiple screen names and those who had been suspended. I remember all this quite well.

    jack clearly falls in the second category. If his code includes not dealing with those posters who have been suspended, then what is he doing posting on BDC? Both logic and integrity dictates that jack voluntarily deactivates his account and post only on sites where he has not been suspended/banned.

    He set the rules. Now he should man up and follow through.

    Andie.....keep in mind when it comes to jack, he does the opposite of what he says. In other words he is George Costanza, a little man that craves attention. Unlike miscricket, I won't put him on ignore ....I like to see what he'll come up with next. 



    I agree, laugh or ignore mental not electronicly .

    I get to giggle alot on post here.

    MO,

    Understood and agreed. However I did not know how many others remembered his 2-prong infamous code.

    I want a response from him.

    Don't hold your breath waiting. He seems to be one who likes to take shots but ignore when he's called on to man up. George Costanza! That is the mental picture I get too. He actually googled where my elementary school was.  creepy.

    I have to admit to googling him,  and it's how I put two and two together to add up his numerous screen names. Lucky for me it was easy math :-)

     

     




    Sounds like he is in the habit of mining for personal info on people. Esp women if this site is any indication. You ladies should be careful. I've seen these kind of online predators before. They get off on conning info.

    MO,

    Oh my. So all the he** he put cricket, me and even brought my husband into it before with his accusations of multiple screen names and all the time it was only him that was guilty. I cannot believe what my husband and I did to prove we were 2 different posters. I feel like such an idiot. Not to mention it clogged up threads because it was so important to me that the other posters did not think I was lying.

    So he actually violated both rules of his code.

    Thank you for telling me.

    Probably as good a time as any for the Catholic Church to close its doors for good.

    Man made Christianity has abused and defrauded enough people already.  Its time for facts and reality to rule the lands.

     




    I think there is a place in the world for both...I just think it's important to separate the politics of the church from faith and belief in God. Religious beliefs can inform government..but we've seen what happens when religious beliefs dictate government.  Most people don't understand that Freedom of Religion is also Freedom from religion. Belief in any God should be a choice..not mandatory.

     



    well said.

    No.

    Or maybe you think some government should force them too?

    Gregin,

    I wan not trying to "Touche" anything. Honestly. Chris Matthews is a devout Catholic and yes, he went to Holy Cross. I watch him frequently on MSNBC.

    Both Bill Mahr and I were raised Catholic. For me it was a hard decision to leave the Church. But finally I just did not want to be a cafeteria Catholic. Some of my strongest views were in opposition to the Church's: pro-contraception; pro-choice; pro-same sex marriage among others.

    I know other Catholics who have no problem leading their lives this way. For me, I just could not do it anymore.

    I have sought to develop my own ideas of spirituality but respect those who follow an organized religion.
