• Thankfully the Norman Murray, account had been deactivated. I did not accept a friend request with that name.
• But as can be seen from the image, I still unfriended the entity.
• If it was a scammer pretending to be me in the past, I am glad that account was deactivated.
• If it was someone that had (has) something against me, I once again state that people should reasonably talk issues out where possible, even to disagree, agreeably with mutual respect on worldview and issue differences.
• Within my biblical worldview, I hold to: Romans 12:18
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.

• One of my eye surgeons told me he was basically caught in the 2011 riot outside, but wisely with his group departed quickly.
• He stated that while hiding out with his group at a McDonalds, one of the customers decided to throw his (his own) dinner up in the air.
• In other words start a McRiot...(my add)
• In a more figurative sense, lack of corrective, critical, thinking in large groups, as in significantly shared societal concepts, can be found at times through fallacious reasoning:
• Argumentum ad Populum: Which is a fallacious, false appeal to popular authority.
• As example, within the Church, is when people quote the well-known pastor and/or well-known teacher as an expert, as if he/she is obviously so highly regarded that his/her views cannot reasonably be challenged.
• At a church apologetics conference once a proponent of libertarian free will implied there was no point in me (with my MPhil-PhD and website researched compatibilism) disagreeing with his famous expert because this expert was doing layups like LeBron James.
• I replied that I did not play basketball...
• In contrast to ad populum, anyone can be reasonably challenged by a reasonable premise (s) and conclusion in disagreement.
