Why?

why do people reopen threads when moderators CLOSE them?

sounds like someone needs to be banned. and it's not me.

 

Wow, I thought the windork would have been by now. Or at least .

So a person can cuss and swear and still get by with it?

Windork, if you are lucky enough to not get banned, the next time you feel like cussing on this public Christian board... do me a favor.

it.

I was going to suggest this board to my son, but now I have doubts... BB is a place we should be able to come to to get away from the world....

Oh well :godisgood: despite our failures.

 

Askjo,

may I say, sir, that if David Cloud offended you, as he so clearly did, then it is up to you to go to him (and him alone) and discuss the offense. By bringing his private email here to discuss your offended senses you actually enter into just as much of a sin as he did in his original offense.

If you say he answered an email of yours peremptorily, or rudely, than it ought to stay between you and him. Everyone has a bad day, or comes across wrong in an email (which is easy to do.....look at how often we misunderstand each other here on the BB), or just downright sins in their response to a brother. We all have failed each other at one point or another in our responses when we disagree, or when we feel as if someone is challenging us.

See now, if David Cloud claimed to be Perfection Personified, than that email response would pose a real problem. BUT, all it does is prove he's human.

Aren't we all?

Go and tell him of your offense, Askjo, and if you do not get the desired response.....forgive him anyway. That also is your Christian duty.

 

I agree with bapmom. If you have a problem with someone then take up that problem with them instead of whining and complaining about it to other people in public.
Pray for that person, ask for forgiveness, and move on.

 

This thread, as the previous one now closed (and deleted), appears to have been started because of a perceived injustice by Bro Cloud.

I contend that this is not the right place to air hurt feelings or personal grudges. Bro Cloud has been the topic of many discussions here. We all know that we have different takes on him. Fair play - if one is going to run a very public website such as his and send out volumnous emails he opens himself up to public comment and discussion.

This thread appears however to be a personal matter between Askjo and Bro Cloud and these matters are best handled by the two Christians involved. There is no local church to take the matter to so it should remain a personal matter between these two brothers.

I don't see where this thread is technically in violation of BB rules. I don't think Askjo started it as an inflammatory thread, but out of hurt feelings. Therefore I can't see a reason to close it.

Might I suggest that posters leave this matter between Bro Cloud and the offended party and that the rest of us move on our way?

 

but my friend, you HAVE brought his email to us here. You havent posted it for us, but you have brought it up as a topic and aired the essentials of it so that we don't need to read the email in order to know what was in it.
I believe I was respecting you. I do not want you to bring his email here....I have no curiosity about it whatsoever. I stand alongside C4K, and I'll go on my way after this posting. But see, Askjo, you are spreading things against another Christian just by talking about the email this much. I was just trying to help you see that.

Blessings to ya!

Now:

Uh - what did I just miss, here??

I'm neither asking the Moderators to close or not close this thread, for my dog is both tied up at home on a chain, and padlocked inside a chain-link kennel, at the moment.

However, I do have a couple of observations, bein' as I'se seems to be a bit corn-fused, here! This thread, as I type this, has had nine 'responses' to the OP who is Askjo, three of which came from the OP, himself.

There had not been a single 'response' for twenty days, through today, before Askjo posted his latest, (which including the OP, makes a total of 5 out of 11 posts) where he asked the Moderators to close a thread he himself had reopened. Even in the rather slow moving, in contrast to some others, Fundamental Baptist Forum, the thread was all but beyond "life -support", and only five lines and/or ten days, from disappearing totally from page one with standard BB 'settings'. But---

Now it has been shocked back into life. By the original poster, no less, asking that it be 'closed'. It would seem that only one person is keeping this going, in any way. With all due respect, Give it a rest! I'm fairly sure, based on past history, the 'rest' of us will be more than happy to do the same, and not ask the Moderators to have to "re-invent the wheel". In a month, no one else is likely to even mention it, and to respect one who is now banned, have to, to avoid any appearance of partiality, replace his or her name with XXXXX!
