Yes because you claimed I smelled of rotten chicken, I.e you smelled me as I came near. That was the claim you made. Even Lumi called you out on his rudeness, because it was a rude. I made a simple joke, and you turned it into an insult. You are the culprit here who turned a simple diatribe into a flaimbaiting session. Now I responded to said bait, for which I will be held accountable as I should be. But don't goad yourself into thinkitn that you're not responsible. You absolutely are.


No, I seriously meant in a way that, "now you came near", I can smell the rotten chicken.

Yes it means you can smell rotten chicken because of my presence. The obvious implication being that my presence smells like rotten chicken. How could you think that would be taken as any other way but an insult?
I had no intention to insult you in any way, when you were discussing some other issues with some other people.
but that's what you did.

Luminesa probably misunderstands, just as you do, and I've just testified because of that.-
then every body misunderstood because they all took it the same way.
After I made this innocent post,
don't play dumb. You knew exactly what you were saying. you were insulting me and everyone here knows it.
you began attacking me with your diatribe.
no I responsed in kind to your insult.
I totally expect this from you,
of course you do. You're like that sibling that pushes the other siblings buttons and then cries to the parent when that sibling responds. You're a baiter because you possess Zero acumen when it comes to debates. You think I didn't notice your irrelevant comments on PK's posts as meant to piss me off?
and, hopefully, we don't get embroiled in another conflict in the future.
you're the one starting all the conflicts.

No, look. I meant I can sense the smell of rotten chicken, now that you've informed me. I never said it comes from you directly, thus I wasn't insulting you.

don't play dumb. You knew exactly what you were saying. you were insulting me and everyone here knows it.


And you insulted me as well?

yes you were. Other wise you would have said "'now that you say that" not "'now that you draw near." You're so full of shit dude. Just admit to what you were doing. It's okay we've all provoked people we disliked. Hell I provoked RIG constantly.
don't play dumb. You knew exactly what you were saying. you were insulting me and everyone here knows it.

And you insulted me as well?
Yes, but in response to your obvious flamebaiting.

*** Warned for flamebait ***

I see that you've made some excuses for this. If those excuses are sincere, you seriously need to work on your communication skills because the way Tarsonis interpreted this is the most obvious reading. It really does look like you're telling him he smells.

Stop derailing the thread and cut out the ad hominems on Gim's general character or debating ability. Yeah, he started it, but you're still derailing the thread and attacking the poster.


General notice to the thread: This argument ends here. Either stop posting or move on to another subject.

I was lucky enough to watch the Pope's mass on livestream two years ago when Papa Francisco visited the Philippines. Probably the closest I'm ever going to get.

I think I'm luckier in that regard. I've been to Rome, once, but I've never seen a mass with the Pope. I intend to, one of these days.

I envy you, then, that you were able to see St. Peter's with your own eyes. I'll probably never have that chance. But we don't have a shortage of churches here, and I'm pretty okay with that.

Don't follow Egyptian popular customs for baptism. An Egyptian woman at my parish did it for my baptism, and it scared me (it involves yelling very loudly).

You're probably more likely to see it than you think. Air travel will probably get cheaper soon enough.

I am unaware of Egyptian customs.

I know a bit of Catholic ones. But that's about it.

Hey, if Southwest can start doing international flights from here(America) to the Vatican, then I'll be very happy. Their one-way tickets are cheap. Like $70-$80 dollars total cheap.

So super secret that nobody knows about it.

Also, is there like a timetable on Papal masses? Or is it a more on-the-go thing. Or does he do it every Sunday? I actually know embarrassingly little on the pope.

It already has one. The Pope's just being environmentally conscious.
