Featured Some people around here need to learn respect

Simply trying to be age-appropriate for its intended audience.

 

Very simple! You call attention to a lack of respect for you by many on this board, and I can agree with the argument you make - to an extent. In fact I have started to back up several of your posts in the past, but for some reason did not follow through. I can only attribute this fact to the guiding of God.
Following more comments by others and your replies, I have come to the conclusion that your only reason to post these "We/you/this board need to ----" posts was to stir up some controversy.

Whether true or not, this is my conclusion after encountering several of this type thread you have created.

SO, if you are as concerned about respect as you portray, heal yourself; IE: YOU start the process, and if you prove sincere, then others will follow!

If all you do is get snarky with someone who is snarky with you, you have just proved that you cannot do what you chastise others for not doing.

Hope this explains it.

PS: There is NOTHING in this post intended to be disrespectful toward you; just an elaboration of my comment that, by your own admission, you did not understand.

 

Rolf I think you will appreciate this. I read the conclusion of your post as "ROFL 53 minutes ago" lol

 

Jon, evan said that the member (you) "has been treated like dirt around here." Would you characterize it like that?

 

Dislexic free-associative humor. Laugh

 

And you wonder why... oh, never mind.

 

You sound as if your silly Rabbits are some type of fitting punishment wisely meted out by a righteous judge. The truth is that it is your Christianese way of telling someone off.

 

I picked up a new book on Kindle today for less than a dollar.
It provides some methods Christians should not use to argue a point.

"Uncharitably denigrating other positions. This includes both the proponents and their arguments. Rhetoric such as ad hominem and cutting, unkind, derogatory ridicule has no place in Christian argumentation— especially as a characteristic tendency (cf. 2 Tim 2: 24– 26). Pragmatically, such rhetoric offends rather than persuades those who hold different views. Respect and graciousness should characterize Christian conversations and debates. Intramural arguments among Christians are not between merely fellow human beings whom God created in his image but brothers and sisters “for whom Christ died” (Rom 14: 15; 1 Cor 8: 11). Perspectives on the Extent of the Atonement: 3 Views (2015). B&H Publishing Group. Kindle Edition."

Begin with yourself.
Restrain yourself from posting words that demean and insult others.
Forgive others that are weak and unable to restrain themselves.
Examine your posts when you write them and delete unchristian remarks - liberally use the opportunity to edit.
If things get too hot for you - leave the thread.
There are many people here that need our prayers.

Why have you done it in the first place with anyone?

Disagreeing with you does not equate with treating you like dirt.

 

Neither does offering unpleasant or inconvenient advice when it is solicited.

 

Now that is a first ... you made a wise crack instead of a grammar correction.you are multidimensional after all.Roflmao

 

Wisecrack is one word. You need to use a capital letter of the first word when you start a sentence.

There, I'm back in classic form.

 

The scripture study at church tonight was Genesis 26, emphasizing the last half of the chapter. Isaac and his flocks, and herds, and servants, were mightier than those they lived among, and could have easily conquered; but when asked to move away, he did. When he re-dug the wells, they laid claim to the water and told him to move on--and he did. And then he built an altar and gave praise to God; and Abimelech and his people took notice, and came to make peace with Isaac. And Isaac entered into an oath with them, and remained peaceful with them.

There's a LOT there that applies to all of us. Isaac was treated like crap, but didn't tell them to chase rabbits. He exemplified the peace of God. Abimelech, who allowed his people to treat Isaac like crap, a king over his people, humbled himself to this outsider.

Yes, I've over-simplified somewhat, and paraphrased quite a bit. Just my thoughts late on Wednesday night.

 

Wouldn't want you any other way, Annoying is your middle name, correcting others is your game!

 

You should cross-post that in the poetry thread.
Biggrin

 

They say I'm a poet, because my feet are "Longfellow's!" Roflmao
