Subject: General Admonition (dealing with Casiv) |
Bible Note: Sir Pent, while I take your motives to defend casiv as having their genesis in Christian charity, and while I myself defend your right to stand on the forum soapbox and speak your piece, I nevertheless take the position that your criticism of some of the oldest, soundest and most dedicated and intelligent members of this forum is unfair, misguided, and not your business to take upon yourself to do. Every reasonable effort has been made to deal with this user -- reason, tact, patience. Even, as a last-ditch attempt, humor (call it ridcule if you must, but there was nothing demeaning in it). The issues raised by the user were addressed, but I failed to see in any of the various respondents' posts any vile attacks upon the character or the person of this user. Efforts to reason were met with salvos of biblical curses and the like. I think no one on the forum whose names you cite in your post does, or ever has, borne a modicum of ill will toward the user in question. I know most of them too well to believe they would allow their hearts to be tarnished by hate or ill will directed at any other member of the forum..... But most of us old heads on the forum have seen what havoc and discord can be effected if we continue to condone by any user a clear and consistent pattern of behavior that tends to be far more divisive than unifying. It's likely that any of us have not made a post now and then that, upon reflection, we would like either to amend or rescind. These flaws to which we are all heir do not, however, rise to the level of, or come under the purview of, the problem we are addressing...... I'll conclude with a message I've stuck by ever since I first signed on this forum, and that message is this: The Lockman Foundation designed this site to be, and it of right ought to be, a Study Bible forum. When any of us attempts to turn it into something else, we have, to the extent that we do, adulterated its purpose. I think that you and I and all other users, including casiv, would do well to keep this in mind. --Hank |
