    What was the point of Shelby's remarks about flies?

    That she found certain people irritating?

    There were many things about her posts that I found objectionable, but none more so than calling people flies.

    Very amusing picture, Witness!

    If we are the flies, then quite clearly Shelby is the turd in the swimming pool we are drawn to. I imagine her Lord told her so.

    What was the point of Shelby's remarks about flies?

    She was accusing us of being followers of Satan aka Beelzebub "The Lord of the Flies"

    Think about the disgusting sight of thousands of flies that would be attracted to the blood and decaying flesh at the Tabernacle and later the Temple in the heat of the Middle East and how offensive these flies would be to the pious Jew. There was nothing humorous or affectionate about Shelby's reference.

    It was easy for the heathen Semites, according to Lagrange, to come to conceive of the flies troubling the sacrifice as images of spirits hovering around with no right to be there; and so Beelzebub, the god who drove away the flies, became the prince of demons in whose name the devils were exorcised from the bodies of the possessed. - Catholic Encyclopedia

    Told ya she is passive-aggressive in her posts if you actually read what she posts.
