Hi, to all who had been participating, for some time now, in this
nonsensical religious comments. When I accepted to receive e-mails from
this user group, I thought that it could be useful whilst using Libre
Office. I never expected to become involved in religious arguments, or
being forced to read any religious preaching. In most forums everybody is
compelled to keep postings within the subject for which they were set up,
and anybody that strays from that is usually removed. Since this forum has
lost its direction (with the approval of some member that confuse tolerance
with the lack of respect for other people), it's time for me to leave.
Since this e-mail does not have the usual "unsubscribe" link, I will put it
into the "junk mail" section, where it belongs.
Have a nice day.

by one standard definition of 'proselytize'/'proselytise' your last



"ise" is English English not Yankee English . . clueless . .


ah, guess you missed the clue I was being inclusive.

several posts are guilty of it.



Then you don't understand what the word means.


I take my clue from the OED:

1. intr. To make, or seek to make, proselytes or converts; In extended
use: to act as an advocate or proponent of something.

2. trans. To convert or attempt to convert from one opinion, religion, or
party, etc., to another

[...]

As someone else pointed out - this was NOT a signature - it was a SERMON
and completely inappropriate and offensive to me and others (and NOT
because of the particular superstition being proselytised).


granted, it wasn't a signature and also the content is inappropriate.

so glad this has been settled.
