Don't use the wrong word or else

God forbid someone use the wrong word in a discussion!! I used the word ascended as opposed to assumed and was jumped all over for it. I used ascended because I meant raised but it wasn't the terminology they use so I was told that I don't know what I am talking about. For crumb sake; I haven't been a Catholic in 20 years; so shoot me cause I used ascended instead of assumed.
Then I see people jumping all over people if they use the wrong term. Why can't people make a mistake without being insulted?

I didn't think I was jumping all over you, just clarifying my point. As I said I didn't mean to insult you.
You did say this in that other discussion:
As I said to the person before you I used the lottery as an extreme example to show how silly it is to say that Jesus can't refuse his mother.

Again I was trying to show that making such a blanket statement is silly. I didn't say the person was silly.
Anyway please read my discussion "I have to stop now"

You're talking about me! I didn't mean to insult you, sorry if you took it that way.
I just wanted to clarify Catholic teaching, especially when you present as truth something that isn't...
I suppose this discussion wasn't insulting to the other mylotter, huh?;)

If you read the entire post you will see that I am redirecting the focus to anyone who has made a mistake. I have seen time and again people being jumped on for doing so. And some are being jumped on because they aren't American and don't have a grasp of English. That isn't fair. I am hoping that thru this post people will be more mindful.
Where in that discussion did I insult the person? Did I call them a name? Did I tell them they were stupid or anything else like that? Did I once tell them they didn't know what they were talking about?
They presented that belief as though it was fact. I was looking to see if anyone else believed as they did. I was also using a hyperbole to show why I didn't believe that to be a fact.

I think it is very rude to correct someone. This is not an English class. I know I make mistakes and as we don't get a chance to correct our errors there is nothing you can do about it. Actually I sometimes get a giggle out of some of the mistakes that are made they add a touch of humor and as we know no-one is perfect least of all the person who is too egotistical to know that also means them.

I guess there are those who don't WANT to understand a point or an argument, because they might have to reconsider their own position, whatever that may be. It's easy to jump on appearances, because that's what it is about in the end. They obviously understood you, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to correct you. But nagging other people is always easier, and less painful, than to let go of a dear opinion.

It seems as though all of a sudden there is A lot of sh** going on here and I hope admin can take care of it. Don't let these people get to you. They are basically unhappy people who try to take everyone down with them. Nobody is perfect believe me.

oh god, i just got one just now... I didn't even say anything or disagree on his/her post at all. I just say, it is your idea and not all of them are bad; then guess what? he/she jumped over my respond and acting that he/she is so mad at me. Well, we are here to help and give out the idea so I dont think we have to be so negative.
