If you're going to call out people on their mess, you'd better be squeaky clean, or you're no better than them. IMO, the reason you feel comfortable being disrespectful and rude is because you have devalued certain groups of people (UPCers/conservative Apostolics) and given yourself permission to do so. Giving yourself permission to be ugly and rude because you think negatively about someone's values or belief system doesn't mean it's okay in God's eyes.

You operate under the mistaken impression that I crave your respect and long for your opinion.

Nothing is uglier than abuse other than perhaps those who laugh with and defend the abuser. Of course, I would never suggest that you would do anything like that.
