Irony in Blogging

Eva Young (aka lloydletta of Lloydletta's Nooz and Comments) posted a hit piece on her site about yours truly last night. She apparently took umbrage with my post in defense of Archbishop Nienstadt. The post (which I won't link to because it is well known that Eva does this to get traffic driven to her site) is one of Eva's typical veiled threat posts.

I wonder what Senator Claire Robling, will think of her BPOU Chair's post.

Well I would venture to guess that since I didn't say any of the things that Eva claims I said, it won't be a problem. Especially within the context of the post where I am simply defending the Archbishop's right to teach Catholic Theology as the Bible says it should be taught.

Here is where the irony comes in. I posted a comment to Eva's post this morning and I got the following back from Yahoo (Eva's email provider).

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
xxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com
Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 16): 554 delivery error: dd Sorry your message to xxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com cannot be delivered.
This account has been disabled or discontinued [#102]. - mta228.mail.re4.yahoo.com

Emphasis mine and user name redacted out of courtesy to Eva.

Now I also have a Yahoo account. I have had it for about 10 years when your only email options were dial up account and online free accounts. I still use it for a number of things. I know, as a Yahoo user that this error message generally comes after an account has been suspended due to a violation of the Yahoo Terms of Service! Now I certainly hope that is not the case. I wouldn't wish ill on Eva or any of her contributors just because we disagree on issues. You see, unlike Eva, I welcome discussion and invite comments - EVEN ANONYMOUS COMMENTS (something Llyodletta's Nooz does not allow). I invite open, honest, respectful discussion - even if we disagree on the issue. That is how things should be in a civil society.

You want to know why certain members of the MOB don't respect you Eva? Maybe it is because you seem to routinely forget the Golden Rule....do unto others as you would have them do unto you! In the context of our discussion, I don't dislike gays. I dislike their lifestyle choices, but I understand that the two are not one and the same.

I pray for the day when Ms. Young can see the difference and can learn to appreciate the fact that we are all fallen sinners. The only difference is that I choose to attempt to live within the constructs of the Bible. I do not continue to live in my sin and demand that God change to suit me. It simply does not work that way. Maybe when that happens, she and I can have an open dialog on the issue once more.
