    Oh, so you are in favor of these things...

    Just seeking to clarify. I was mistakenly, apparently, under the impression that you did not approve of these things.


    God bless.

    Actually the entire thread is about the rating system and the views of the members about it.

    And the only drama I see is pretty much the same drama that has plagued this forum for a number of years.

    But maybe that will be one of the benefits of the ratings, it will limit the disruption that actually takes place in the midst of a discussion.

    We can only hope, right?

    In regards to your question...

    That really is a question only you can answer. So tell me, do you ever answer your own questions?


    God bless.

    Gosh, I just feel so dumb.

    Thanks for pointing out my dumbness, ITL. What would I ever do without you? I think you should dumb that post, because I really was dumb, wasn't I. Please let me know every time I'm dumb, because I wouldn't want to embarrass anyone by being dumber than I already was in that dumb post I dumbly posted. Sorry I have wasted your time by being dumb, and I will try not to be dumb in the future.

    Forgive me?


    God bless.

    I think I will just refrain from using the negative emoticons and just say what I intend to say. It's obvious that the OP cares. And I know he called a couple of my posts dumb just because I called one of his dumb. And yes, it is Junior High-ish to respond in such a way.

    You know with as many things as folks have said about me and my posts in the past, I think the "don't like" and "dumb" symbols are quite tame.Laugh

    My feelings EXACTLY! Thanks brother for saying it so well! This new rating system allows those "haters on this board to make you look bad! Zaac calls it the "in crowd? He states that wanting "nice, complimentary" ratings is kin to being in the so called in-crowd here on the board! Something he seems to be yearning to be part of, but can''t find the way into! However you can't be in the in-crowd if there is no in-crowd to be in! ! Hey Zaac, jealousy is a sin! You would be wise to remember that?

    Partly agree, partly disagree.

    I would agree that there is no in crowd, but there are cliques who, as a team, have sought to ridicule others. Sometimes members will join ranks to ridicule others.

    Shouldn't the Body be joining ranks to battle a common enemy? Rather than each other?

    Probably the only thing that will limit this type of behavior is a more forceful moderation.


    God bless.

    And THAT is what I'm talking about. There are cliques that attack like sharks in a feeding frenzy when someone says something that is different from their Fox NEWSED "politically conservative"( because it's rarely Scripturally or morally conservative) points-of-view.

    And a certain old man from Cali says some extremely stupid stuff just so that he can get his needed pat on the back from said cliques. He's even attempting to do it in this thread.Roflmao

    But you see yourself as outside of this, Zaac?

    We can see your participation in this kind of nonsense as well.

    For you, they are the enemy, Fox News is the enemy, and there are other enemies you see which I will not go into.

    I think all of us can relate to others in certain areas, and on these things we come into agreement. But when that agreement centers on diminishing those who are supposed to be our brothers in Christ, then we depart from what can rationally be considered Christian.

    I think if anything this thread might heighten awareness to some things which ought not to go on in a Christian Community.

    So are we Calvinists/arminians? Or Christians? Republicans/democrats? or Christians.

    When the world looks at us, do they see Christians? Or...

    Christ/ians?


    God bless.
