Sir Pent You said you were hurt by my response in my last post to you. I apologize if it hurt you but I fail to see how. Only one comment in my post that being in the last paragraph was directed at to anyone in particular. In that sentence I asked if you had any ideas for making the forum better to offer them. I simply stated this was a Bible Study forum not a Biblical debate forum. I offer my rational as to why I thought many come here. I also said I did not understand why someone that was dissatisfied with how Lockman had it structured would keep visiting it. That would only apply to soemone that was dissatisfied and was making snide remarks but you just said you weren’t dissatisfied. So it would no mean you. I then gave a general admonishment to everyone that they should either become part of the solution or get out of the way. It was then personally asked if you had any suggestions and if so please offer them. I see you have and Hank has directed you to the right place to voice them. Tell me how were you hurt by this response? And let me ask another question why would you claim you were hurt if there is nothing there to hurt you? I like Hank have been here for a long time, I'm wondering how you could compile a list of things that can be discussed and not discussed yet neither Hank nor I are aware of any such list? EdB |

Personal note.......................................................... Hi EdB, It is good to talk with you again as well, even if we are having a bit of a misunderstanding at present. Your post (127443) that was somewhat hurtful to me was addressed specifically to me. In that post you said you wondered why someone who was dissatisfied with the forum would keep coming back. Since the post was addressed to me and since I have just recently "come back" to the forum after being away for a few months, I naturally thought you were referring to myself. Then you made the comment that people should either be part of the solution or get out of the way. Once again, since the post was addressed to me and since the earlier comments seemed to be directed at me, I naturally thought that you were saying that I was not being helpful and so should not continue participating here. Then in your last post you asked why I would claim to be hurt when there wasn't anything to hurt me. This seems to question my honesty, as if I would claim to be hurt when I wasn't really. I hope that you can see that your responses to me thus far since my return could easily be understood to be attacks on me personally and therefore hurtful. I hope that this is all simply a misunderstanding and that you did not intend your statements to be read in the way that they came across, and would appreciate some clarification. |

Sir Pent I'm sorry there was a mis-understanding. I wanted to defuse the question before it went any further. Rather than provoke any emotion I phrased it as I was merely trying to give perspective. What I tried to post what I thought was a rather generic post addressing the purpose of the forum and asking the general question why if someone was dissatisfied with the forum did they keep using it. I'm sorry that you thought that directed at you but it was a generalization. The next paragraph is offered in the way of explanation and is not directed at you Sir pent in anyway. We have many people complain about the forum but they keep coming back. Some have even been asked to leave and they come back. I simply don't get it. If something is so awful why keep exposing yourself to it?. There are literally hundreds of “Bible” forums where people can rant, rave, and spread poisonous doctrine as much as they want. Why come here and try. Back to your question, once more let me say my previous post was not directed you Sir Pent and was directed only at those that are dissatisfied with the forum and are trying to stir it up rather than be a part of the solution. Sorry for the mis-understanding. I was trying to understand your hurt not deny it or dismiss it. EdB |

Personal Note.......................................................... Hi EdB, Thanks for your clarification. I gladly accept your apology and am relieved to discover that I was misunderstanding your post to be directed towards me. I was overly sensitive. I have been here off and on for almost 3 years now, and have posted over 600 times. Yet I still feel that there are those on the forum who still view me as an outsider and have less grace with my posts than is given to others here. Perhaps I am again misunderstanding what others write, but that feeling probably impacts my sensitivity here. May we both be patient with each other as we continue to study God's word and try to apply it correctly to our lives :) |
