    Firstly, can we get a sticky? A thread pops up about once per month, always, "We need to be nicer to each other." I believe I even started one like it back in '11 or '12.



    Evan, to you personally, I'll be honest. You bring most of your "persecution" on yourself. I don't mean to puff myself up, but how often does someone insult me? As far as I know, I'm not on anyone's ignore. And I've gone toe to toe with Zaac, Poncho, and others. I've been direct and straight forward. And I've been brutally honest with some.



    It's about connecting with people. It's about understanding that they think they are right just as much as you do. It's about humility (which I am lacking, but fortunately I've learned to not post while I'm angry, for the most part).



    Also, proof read. Not only for grammar and spelling, but for content. Try and see how your post would come across to your debate opponent. After all, these are debate and discussion forums. These are not argument forums.

    Evan, been there done that. I have been addressing this concern, for as long as I've been on this board. A little piece of advice? Suck it up, and try not to let those who are haters, to have the glory of seeing you hurt by their unkind words and negative comments!

    This board has a number of "haters" hanging out with one thing in mind. They want to keep others at the bottom of the social pecking order, and they do this quite well. It is life, and unfortunately, there are those here who live to hurt others. Maybe because they secretly harbor a lifetime of hurt from a childhood of being picked on? I don't know. I just know that these folks are what I refer to as "cyber bullies" and you can either ignore them by placing them on the ignore list, or just plain out ignore them and live life as you do with the presence of bugs, pests and rodents!

    Shalom, and happy sailing. Find your audience and be happy with the few who like you and you in turn like them back!

    You, too, can be as humble as me! Find out how in my new book, "Humility, and How I Achieved It".

    Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. To many people on here put the "ME" in front of Christ... This has been my observation for as long as I've been on here!... imho... Brother Glen

    Could it be we do not strive to follow Christ in all He has commanded, that the animosity simply reflects our lack of Christian maturity. Nah.

    There are some of us who like to honestly discuss Scripture. If I tell you that Jesus’ statement that one must be born of water and the Spirit is one birth, and you disagree with me, then it is my responsibility to furnish the reasoning behind my statement with Scripture to back it up. My saying “read John 3:1-10 – that’s my proof” is not really saying anything. John operates like this in his posts. He will say something, and when someone calls him out on it, shows him Scripture, he will get mad and start another thread. This is not, IMHO, the purpose of this board (and people who do this should be banned). It is not, IMHO, immature to call on him to defend his statements…in fact, it is the responsible thing to do.

    Look at the threads that John has started, made some outlandish statement that he claimed was biblical, got mad and refused to back up his claim, and abandoned it to start another (or more than one). Some may ignorantly see those who confront him on his behavior as "attacking" him, but most have been here long enough to see that what I am saying is true. I know that most involved get aggravated to the point that they insult (which is wrong), but that doesn't excuse his behavior.

    Always an excuse John C for your behavior. Always an excuse.

    You have been added to my ignore list.

    Just to reiterate ......but note you can't show by your own posts that I am mistaken. Ironic, huh?

    These three posts to respond to JonC. You should not wonder why people generally do not take you seriously.

    This evening's posts are not lemonade-inspired, are they?
