Update (original post is below): it's probably not worth it to continue this dialogue, and indeed (upon reflection) I've decided that to do so will only continue to harden the heart of one who is alread hard enough of heart for any two people. So with my apologies and supplications, I have withdrawn the blog post concerning the discussion at hand.

RE: this
The D man has even stooped so low as to post the contents of a private PM conversation he has with some Christian, as he refers to him. I am sure that this Christian, whoever he may be, thought that his conversations with the D man would remain private. This Christian obviously had the respect to communicate his thoughts privately, rather than publicly, on a union. I sure he must be sad and shocked that the D man would take his comments public and in doing so, try to give the impression that our union was involved.
Firstly: I made it clear that I would be re-posting a detailed summary of the conversation. The conversation continued past that point, although it has since been paused (by myself, pending an honest answer to a direct question), and this was taken as tacit approval of my intent.
Secondly: The other Christian has not kept his thoughts wholly private either, and in fact has participated in public, forum-based displays of defamation directed at both myself and at the Church.
Thirdly: The CWU was involved.
Fourthly: I am also putting into display my correspondence to the other Christian; I am as exposed as he is. I believe that things should be held up to the light, that the dark things might wither and the righteous things shine out. If the other Christian has said anything to me which he would rather not be made public, he is welcome to inform me and I will of course withhold mention of that statement. But if he has said anything of this nature, perhaps he should consider that to do so was an occasion of sin, and that it would have been better for him to hold his tongue in check.
Fifthly: I like how my name keeps changing in the False Witness Union. From "dragon" to "dragony", and then to "Dragon" (note the proper capitalization), and now to "D man". For a group that spends a lot of time complaining about how I apparently spend my every effort on insulting them, they do seem to enjoy having a go at mocking my GS username.
Sixthly: Just because you quote the Bible in your arguments does not mean you are arguing from a Christian perspective. For example...
Seventhly: If you say that celibacy is unbiblical, you are setting yourself against Scripture. Read 1 Corinthians 7 again.
