I really think that respect is earned and that if you want people to be courteous you need to avoid being downright rude to them . You have been very unpleasant to anon and to others who choose not to reveal their identities online. That is their prerogative. Their opinions are no less valid.

Basic courtesy precludes us from suggesting people have learning difficulties. And before you riposte with the suggestion that I called you nutty, you will find if you read back that I actually suggested that your style of writing does you no favours because it makes you sound nutty; I suggested that you change your approach.

Suggesting that God has commanded you to do this and that and that the JA are going against God etc, is not an approach likely to make you sound rational, and if you are, then surely you will want to try a more credible approach? It doesn't make sense to alienate people who might otherwise be allies.
