Jude 2

For the second time in about a week, I have received communications from posters ready to stop participating because they feel piled on... bullied. It seems to always come back to the same few usual suspects.

This is a plea for a return to civility.

Please stop ragging on others for their username, political views, post count or other matters. Agree, disagree, dialog, debate... great. But the personal disrespect just borders on childishness.

Don't say anything in writing on Jude2 you would hesitate to say face-to-face, including tone, inflection and body language.

Thanks.

I'd tell some one, anyone, face to face if they disrespected the dead. But I get your point PG.

I do have to admit I get passionate about certain topics and I push back hard when pushed on certain topics -- heck, I even push when annoyed. In person it's even more magnified than on an internet message board. Granted I don't bite but I speak my mind and rarely hold back.

It's something I gotta work on, and I apologize for anything incendiary I have said on here.

I have to confess I have not always been loving in my words or tone...I guess I wasn't thinking about what God has said over and over in His Word about love. This was in my devotional reading today and I think it speaks to what we are going through. Love "covers over a multitude of sins." In order to coexist with others who differ from us, this may be the answer. I want to apologize and ask for forgiveness concerning my lack of love, gentleness and respect at times.

Love, for the Day is Near
8Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. 9The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet,"[a] and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself."[b] 10Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

11And do this, understanding the present time.

If I have offended anyone forgive me I didnt mean to. I did think that people should show a little more respect for someone who has passed away that people obviously liked but I tried to not say to much , yet If I did Im sorry. I have no dislike of anyone here so whoever is upset just come on back and fellowship

May the Lord bless you

You just gave Gerald a green light. I don't think there is anything he wouldn't say to a person face to face!

Do you mean the one with the 1/2 inch wide "pin stripes?" I never noticed it.

I totally forgive anyone and everyone who has even remotely come close to offending me.......

And being the image of perfection that I am.........I need ask no one .........

Seriously, please accept my heartfelt apologies for anything I might have said (wrote) that would be in any way hurtfull....

I'd just like to take a moment of prideful boasting:


It wasn't me this time!!!

actually Gerald it was you! The second person was me relative to your treatment. I cant take the way you respond but PG talked me into staying and giving you another chance, so I am trying.

Im kidding just messing with you wasnt me

The pic I have up now is a purple pin striped zoot suit. I love zoot suits!

Thanks PG.

It just hasn't felt like the same ole fun loving place around here for about a year. When I joined, everyone agreed/disagreed passionately but then it was back to fun and games. Every once in a while the Big Dawgs got loose, but the leash was jerked back pretty quick. Lately, everyone seems too much on edge.

1. I was called a jerk and sincerity questioned by people that I thought were better than that for a sincere statement and honest questions I was asking.
2. Cats and Rose were having a, for lack of a better term, a little cat fight the other day. Some of the statements seemed out of character by both of them.
3. Beave's been jumpy for a while now.
4. Vande is being nice (which has been one of the signs of the the beginning of the tribulation period according to Gerald).
5. FQ and Gerald are not only agreeing, but getting along.

WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!!! Give me back my Jude 2!!!!!! Heck, even invite Phil Hoover back!

(the preceding rant was done like the guy in the Twilight Zone episode where he is in the streets all alone)4.

Let's don't go that far.

I go out of town for a week and miss everything. It's kinda like missin' church the one Sunday the pastor preaches a barn burner!
