Instead of stirring the pot some more - how about lets
start over with the two Moderators, desist from personal
judgments and attacks and see how it goes. If we were listening to God we wouldn't need
moderation but unfortunately that's just not the case. jht

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.

Much truth to this posting. The ad honimen rule is one who no that has been invoked before. It solves nothing because because it is never fairly applied. We are grown ups who act poorly at times. I say let God in us work this thing out.
