Judgemental attitudes

brother, you need to let it go. Just count to ten (or twenty) and let it go.

Just some friendly advice

 

Look, this board is here, free of charge, for us. If you have a problematic post, report it. I do that. Sometimes, the mods agree with me. Other times, they don't. But I'm not going fret over this...it's not that important in the scheme of things.

If I ever got to where it bothered me that much, I'd find another outlet, or just quit posting.

Tell the mods, let them do their job, and if it still bothers you that much, go elsewhere.

 

For some reason unbeknown to me, I seem to be having a hard time taking this tread very seriously.

Our words do sometimes have a notorious tendency to come back and haunt us, I would say.

This response was one of a series to EdSutton (that's me, obviously) in a series where I seem to have aroused the ire of said poster, by an admittedly very pointed question, about whether he happened to consider another Greek text other than the TR is acceptable for the NT, or would he deem other Bible translating groups that do not (apparently) require the TR as a prerequisite, as acceptable, considering he had just endorsed a site which states that ONLY the TR is acceptable, for translating the NT. This was actually at least the third mischaracterization of my own position and motives, FTR.

Implication of dishonesty directed toward another poster who asked a question about a method of study. This implication was entirely unwarranted, IMO.

Posted response to being "called out" over his "calling out" of another, regarding their use of grammar, where I happened to note 3 definite grammatical errors in a 4 sentence span.

(My personal suggestion is that poster Harold Garvey should look up the definition of "persona", as this word was not misused, nor does the word, in any usage, ever imply arrogance of any sort.)

I dunno' here.

Does anyone have a clue as to why I might have trouble taking this thread seriously?

I traded barbs with Mr. Garvey. He likes to point out other's supposed insults but seems to be blind to his own. Come on Harold, take a chill pill and enjoy the site without taking things so personally.

 

Mr Garvey,
As I told you in another thread, you and another poster started about the same time, and within a few dozen posts, are into it with everyone in every thread, way beyond debate. Common sense says, learn the flow and feel for the board before making such statements. I suggest you ease in and watch for awhile.

 

Maybe it is the soundtrack of caterwauling that accompanies it?

 

I know the feeling you have, because I have had the same reactions. I have had my wrists slapped, been hit by low blows, etc (all figuratively of course), but I finally decided to thicken my skin (unless the insults get really strong such as doubting my salvation or calling me a liar). Now I post only when I am ready to take any fire that may be directed at me, deservedly or not. If I have doubts about my post or if I don't feel I can handle the heat, I get out of the kitchen. My advice to you echoes that of some others: Just chill out, roll with the punches, don't lead with your chin, enjoy the board and its opportunities to learn.

 

Mr. Garvey

If there is a problem with another poster-----you have an option of going to the top of the thread page--there is a little red/white triangle icon--click it and report the post to the moderators

Please note---that moderators cannot be at all places at all times---and it will take time for moderators to answer your alert--we ask that you remain patient until then.
