The 8 Kinds of Commenters in the Christian Blogosphere

7. Précis People. 

I’ve read the first paragraph and despite the fact that most opening paragraphs are introductions that set the tone, I think yours is a précis of everything you say in the post and therefore I can ignore or skim the rest.

8. Literalists. 

I cannot affirm what you say because the way you’ve said it could be misinterpreted as not in agreement with our faith tradition. I’m not really sure that it is.

I wish you would simply repeat, verbatim, the official lines of what we teach somewhere so I could know with certainty that we are in agreement.

I am sure this short list has not exhausted the possibilities so feel free to add your own observations.
