EF, you seem not to have read and understood my remarks. I did not ask why you call yourself Ex-Fundy nor do I care. You've been wounded and scarred by your experiences. So, be it. FYI, my lineage runs through the Northern Baptists. The folks you dealt with are not close enough for me to support in a feud.
From your remarks you seem to have misunderstood my allusion to Orangmen, the Abbey Tavern and Ireland's 32. Orangeman is another term for a Protestant Ulster Unionist. The Abbey and Ireland's 32 are local Fenian establishments. Back in the day, there would have been NorAid collection bottles on their bars.
So, I fail to see how I have insulted you. Please keep in mind, I am the senior moderator on this forum and the third senior Administrator. These factors give me the authority, responsibility, and duty to be a "little bearded twit." (Actually, I'm not so little at 5'6" and 200 pounds.)
Snitching out Mr. Cloud might have had the unintended consequence of causing his death. Who said the country in question would have simply not allowed his re-entry. And then there are the nationals his is ministering to, were you willing to cause them grief because of your Stateside dispute? I am addressing myself to these points. The rest is irrelevant to the discussion. Nothing that happened to you would excuse your causing harm to your brothers and sisters in Christ. If this sentiment makes me "holier than thou.", that's fine with me. I define God's holiness as equaling His absolute integrity. If I live a life of holiness, I am living a life of integrity.
Ruckmanites lying about David Cloud..................again

John of Japan Well-Known MemberSite SupporterVery well said, Squire! :thumbs: :thumbs:

Personally, I'd say the avatar seems appropriate, but that is only my opinion, I admit.

Maybe you might say you are the "BIG bearded twit" for this forum. :thumbs:
I'd post that in an even larger font, but considering the height of only 5'6", well ya' know... :laugh: :laugh:
Seriously, I agree with the sentiments, here. Especially, as to the "ratting out", just to get someone in trouble, with whom one happens to disagree. This seems to me to be nothing more than revenge, and "one-upmanship" and not having anything to do with anything other than "getting even", IMO.

As to whoever "he" is, I personally do not know to whom this is referring, nor do I even care. But anyone has the right to have what he or she writes and even publishes on a copyrighted site, especially if he or she is the owner of the site, to be strictly controlled and not to be reprinted, reproduced, or published without permission. That permission is not, in any way, guaranteed to be automatically granted, either. This might be 'picky', on the part of the individual, but it is neither illegal nor unethical, in any way.
And it is disingenuous, at best, to suggest or imply otherwise.
Uhhh.....!

Ed, if the movie/tv (Hollywierd), the music and the publishing industries have problems with understanding the concept of fair use, how can you expect a poor Baptist preacher to wrap his mind around the FUD.
-
I understand what you mean, here. But I have three questions, yet.
Is the ' emphasis' on poor, as in a preacher who is not a good one, Baptist, or preacher? :confused:
Or are they all equal and/or interchangeable? :laugh:
Or are you not even going to wanna' touch this one with a "ten-foot pole"? :laugh: :laugh:

You were not the one to whom I was referring, Sir Squire! :laugh: :laugh:

I know you weren't referring to me. For various and sundry reasons, I do follow the twists and turns of the copyright wars in the popular press (e.g. the WSJ). However, I was referring to many other of my brethren (including the gentleman referred to in the title of this thread, though some would consider discribing him as humble a stretch) and sisteren.
Ed, FWIW, my full nom de web is Keith Robertsson, Squire of Lower Duxis Abbey aka, the Squire; Squire Robertsson; Uncle Keith; Hey you!; Tommy, Dinner's ready. "Sir Squire" is a double title. :laugh: -
Sorry, I thought Squire was an actual name. It is the name of two of my ancestors, Squire Boone, Sr., and Jr.
Squire Boone, Jr., my five times (I think) great grandfather, was a frontiersman in KY and is a younger brother of Daniel Boone, the more well known frontiersman. Incidentally, Squire Boone, Jr. was also a lay minister and the first Baptist preacher to ever preach a sermon "west of the Alleghenies" in what is now KY, and the first Baptist preacher to preach any sermon in any part of the United States, west of any of the Appalachian Mountians from central PA westward. So that is one reason I would not have questioned the moniker of "Squire".
Incidentally, as well, my own home church was pastored by my own grandfather, in the Squire Boone lineage. It happens to be the third oldest extant Baptist church "west of the Alleghenies", organized in 1782, when KY was part of Virginia. We will soon be celebrating our 225th year, with homecoming services scheduled for November, to coincide with the opening of a a much needed expansion of our facilities.

One reason is Dan'l Boone was given the courtesy title of "squire". In the 18th century, it was used by large non-noble landowners. Remember Treasure Island and Squire Trelawney?
-
That could be, in the case of my own five times great Uncle Dan'l, although I have not heard of him referred to as such, that I recall.
Local magistrates in KY county government are referred to in this way, as "Squire" Smith, for example, when the county courts are in session. And could explain the origin of the given name of "Squire" for his father, as well, I suppose.
And aside from my own two ancestors, I have only heard the given name of "Squire" in one other instance, as best that I can recall, but still did not question it, as I have known of it, all my life.
