Bible Question: What is wrong with this site. I have been a member for about a year now, and have asked several times. "Where is the love and compassion" People are chewed up, spit out, torn to pieces, called names, judged because they asked a question that doesn't measure up to your standards. You belittle them because they are maybe not a scholar such as yourself. Some people, like myself, are just regular church-going people who are trying their best to learn and grow. And all they get is belittled and threatened to be kicked out this wonder, scholar filled site. It is a few wonderful people on this site, but there are also quite a few that I am speaking of and you know who you are with your self-righteous selves. You don't have to threaten to kick me off just do it. But take it to heart. You will answer for your behavior some day. Examine yourselves. Yes I know, I need to examine myself too. -------- winningside |
Bible Answer: Winningside - This is the second time today I've responded to the subject you introducted on this thread, but, dear lady, I honestly felt constrained to add a post script in hopes that your apparently deep-seated concerns involving matters of conduct on this Forum can be fully acknowledged, properly and politely addressed in a spirit of Christian love and brotherhood. Moreover, it is fervently hoped that your misgivings can be resolved, your ill feelings assuaged, and that you will be able in future to continue as a happy and productive contributor to Lockman's Study Bible Forum. ...... If you wish not to cite posts or name names on the pages of this Forum of those of your peers whom you feel have been in some manner abusive to others or otherwise have posted things clearly contrary to the Forum guidelines as laid down by the site's owner, the Lockman Foundation, you certainly have the right, even the obligation, to file an abuse report. You can do this simply by scrolling to the end of the post you wish to report as abusive and click on the word Abuse that shows on your screen in blue. Having done that, you type in specifically what you envisage about the post as being abusive and in violation of Forum guidelines. This report goes instantly to the powers that be at Lockman who will read the report and take whatever action they deem appropriate. ..... It is a serious charge to lodge against the Forum in general or any member in particular when one writes for all to see, as you did in your post that I'm now responding to, that -- and I quote you verbatim -- "people are being chewed up, spit out, torn to pieces, called names (and) judged because they ask a question that does not measure up...to standards." ...... Winningside, if someone said such a thing about you (to my knowledge, no one is!), wouldn't you like to know specifically what they meant? Wouldn't it be helpful to you to know precisely how you erred so that you might be able to take steps to correct it if possible, or at least be enabled to know better how to conduct yourself in the future? If there are those who regularly do such things on this Forum, don't you feel that some of the rest of the regular users would rise up in protest? Surely you don't think that all of us regular users are corrupt, or that we are all in cahoots in some sinister conspiratorial mob, do you? If you had written your general, unsubstantiated complaint, the essence of which I've just now quoted, to Lockman, I assure you that they would take no action on such general remarks. How could they? They can't act to correct a violation unless they know who the violator is. Neither could anybody else. ..... So, please, if you have a legitimate complaint and can back it up with concrete facts, such as citing a specific post in which the perceived breach occurs, and being able to explain exactly how this violates Forum guidelines, then by all means make an abuse report. Make as many as you feel necessary, but just be sure you stand on firm ground when you do. Sorry, but general, hazy complaints just won't cut the mustard! ....... We have on this Forum a wide assortment of backgrounds and church traditions, and we have people of varying talents and abilities. We have babes in Christ and we have mature Christians. Some are quite scholarly and learned while others are not. Some are articulate and can express themselves with great felicity while others struggle to reduce their thoughts to words that others can comprehend. From east and west, north and south we, a heterogenous grouping of followers of Christ meet here daily in an effort to know Him more clearly, love Him more dearly, and follow Him more nearly. We hope that you will find it in your heart to join in and help us all to make Study Bible Forum a place to learn and to fellowship one with another and, above all else, to bring glory to His name. --Hank |
