Salute to Jack Tatum. RIP
Sad news from California that Jack Tatum has died after a courageous battle with mutliple health problems including severe diabetes that took his leg some years ago.
Tatum was a ferocious hitter, and earned (cultivated?) that reputatation in the NFL.
As our rival on the field for OSU, I honestly don't ever recall Tatum drawing a single personal foul or ever once laying a dirty hit on a Michigan player. Indeed, while he was involved in some frightening plays in the NFL, I always marveled at his skill. He was a tough player, not a dirty player.
Rest in Peace, Jack Tatum. You were one of the great ones.
You chose to take offense, in the name of Christianity, to a person whose point was to ask people to stop slandering a dead man because he used an exclamation you disliked. You chose to ignore the forest for the trees, and ended up attacking someone whose entire point was that people should be more considerate. You chose to ignore what he was saying, and take umbrage with how he said it. I think that is silly.
wasn't an attack. It was a criticism. A single comment. Because of the irony of offensively asking people not to be offensive. It wouldn't have been a big deal if LP wouldn't have taken "umbrage".
My comments imply that I understood what LP was saying.
I'm playing the victim? Really? I mean really?
please, for the love of Crist, continue the argument. this is hilarious
Skunkbear, just sit this one out.
You're equating Last Prophet's syntax to Don's stated desire that Jack Tatum is suffering eternal damnation. You're choosing to be upset over a colloquialism instead of the guy who hopes the recently deceased rots in hell. Equating the two, is, frankly, idiocy.
I simply made a very tame criticism. LP insists on defending it. It is not defensible.Let LP stop.
Please understand, all I did was offer a mild rebuke for what LP said and then respond to LP's responses. It was not my intent to make a big deal of this or equate anything with what Don said. Ijust feel drawn into this.
I love your view of this. As if this is entirely one sided, and I'm the one dragging it on, and you haven't continued to respond to every one of my posts, (as well as Chitown's and a few others).
Here's another problem, your reponse may have had nothing to do with what Don said, but my post was 100% a response to what Don said, so to simply sweep this fact under the rug when addressing my comment is a logical fallacy.
Now who is being "silly". I made ONE comment, not a series of them, except for responding to your posts defending something that I find, rightly or wrongly, offensive.

Yes, this post is 100% what I've been trying to convey.
To think that my use of Jesus Christ is somehow an attack on and/or mocking Christianity as a whole is simply foolish.
Then to compare that to Don's post is beyond foolish. It is, as Chitown put it, idiocy.
you had to do was say "no offense". And it would have been over.
btw, would people stop accusing me of comparing anything to Don's post? Sheesh !
two topics to not post on here, politics and religion. They will start arguments almost everytime.
