Why
do I single you out? I will be honest. Your posts are the catalyst that create
antagonism and division. Others react against the way you come
across. I'm fully expecting to get ripped on this one by David Miller and
Izzy and you, but that's my opinion... that's why I used exact terms and not
"it seems that..." or "it sounds like...." This is how I understand
it to be. Izzy can and probably will say [with just as much forthrightness]
that it's Gary, or Jon, or John, or Bill, or Lance, or slade,
or Jeff that causes strife and division[1].
You
get under my feathers once in a while as well and I do what I can to shake it
(with Abba's help, of course) because the way you come across is that we're
all idiots and G-d has put you on this forum to straighten us all out. You may
have the same opinion of me. Are you the only one who gets under my skin? No.
Even my wife shows up there once in a while.
Remember when Smithson and I were having a moment? That has passed
because we worked to create friendship at pretty much the same time. I've
tried that with you in many different ways (and no, I am not going to go
back through the archives to find it because I'm too lazy right now) and it
failed. Now, I do two things with your posts: (1) ignore them. (2) post in
such a way that you can do what you appear to want to do...
teach.
I do
not want to be hated and nor do I want to hate. Especially with someone who
claims to be a brother or sister. While you think the post below is tame, it
is simply a friendly reminder that some of us hear a tendency toward
communicative cruelty. You asked for an archive search. I don't want to do
that. Instead, I figured I would wait until it showed up again. I am intending
to be friendly and not mean.

you know, I need to reevaluate something. In May/June 2004, your posts were
not entirely vindictive in tone. I think I need to figure out what
happened.
No Slade, that's fine.
IMO this is tame compared to some of the stuff
coming from Gary's computer which has been ongoing for months
now. That the KJV is written on a 10th
grade level is true and this I don't mind
being equated with. But I'm curious as to why I am singled out over
this - Did you read what I responded to and
not find it hateful and insulting or is the focus
primarily on me? jht
myth (any post you produce
from the archives, subject to assessment by any reader willing, puts
your words in the best light possible, inductively; if not true, then
set forth your doctrine as it is--e.g., what is your hermeneutic? so far, the archival pic is of a cultic ideology influential
over peasant, perhaps ~8th grade expertise)
You wanted an example of hatful speech. Here's an example. Shall I
continue to do this or shall I shut up?

is probably way above that and
probably anything not Conservative Baptist
is cultish so far as you're
concerned.
Sorry....
