Are You?

I live in Pearl. We have members of our church who live in Florence though. I hate driving on 49 South. I always go the back roads by the State Hospital (Whitfield), my wife says I belong in there. ..
Welcome to the board.....

[Jennifer Smith]

So, Wes, you know two other actual people here? Irthnvesl has not been posting as NT Wright?

That is correct. Don't believe me though. I'm new here.lol

Well, I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

Sorry for the welcome but some bad behavior has preceded you.

[TW]

(To Irthnvesl) You have ignored the rules for using this forum, attempted to steal another man's identity, accused a respected member of this board with "hacking" your blog. Your behavior has not been amusing, only childish. You sir, are a common liar. Why should I put any credence in anything that you might post?

Just for the record, I am not Earthen Vessel. Not Wes. Not the Pea of Sweetness.

And TW? You, sir, are incorrect on at least two counts:

1) Earthen Vessel has NOT "attempted to steal another man's identity." You're just flat wrong. YOU KNOW NOT OF WHAT YOU SPEAK.

2) Earthen Vessel's behavior has been wildly amusing. Laughter does good like a medicine.

Seems to me some of the folks here are taking life way too seriously.

N.T.Wright Fan,
I stand corrected on point one, and offer my apology. As for point two, I think that you are incorrect. I find his behavior to be less than amusing. Let's take a look at his recent history on this board. He wrote a completely distasteful parody of a post by Pastor Gary. When public opinion (members of the board) rebuked, he offered to treat anyone to a Thanksgiving Dinner. This has the appearance of trying to "buy" his way back into the good graces of the community. For the record, you cannot "buy" the friendship of the people that make up this board, you "earn" it. Then during this Dr. Wright/irthnvesl/Wes episode he accuses a respected member of the board with "hacking" his blog and cloning his IP address. This makes him a liar, not someone that is amusing.

Brother TW,

Can you say sincerely that you think I was actually making a serious accusation and not joking? Honestly brother.

YES! I don't believe it was a joke, I think that you were trying to throw up a smoke screen.

Brother TW,

I'm not TW, but I would say if there hadn't been tension between the two of you, great; and if you know the person and are known by others here, and it is known to be a joke, great. But that wasn't the case! You tried to persuade others that this was legit, that Mike Vande had hacked you.

Personally, it is not the way I would try to make friends: practical jokes from the get-go to a person I don't know well! It also makes your other friends look made-up, since you made this up.

I'm not trying to gang up on you when I say that I think you need to back off quite a bit.

Blessings, Jennifer Smith

Np, for the second time, just chill... and enjoy yourself.

Don't lash out with attacks or you are going to be considered a nut no matter how noble your intentions to change the "insert issue here". You will also not change others honest opinions based on each real life experiences by impugning or making fun of them (or you will probably just get that style back). Some here on this board are excellent at returning FIRE themselves as they are trained COGOP (learned from the BEST - LOL) and they REALLY, REALLY attempt to keep it under control. But they are really good people.. searching to do what is right.. like all of us.

If you want to highlight an issue.. Just cite a link or awareness you think reinforces your causes and let that OWN person come to his or her own opinion. Don't try to covertly manipulate a "Gotcha" moment to get a specific reaction. The people here are really intelligent and can discern instantly. IF that person doesn't agree with you. So what.. we all will not agree.

Also in your online and offline life.. don't play the martyr. That is a red flag for deeper issues. The world doesn't revolve around you and you are not the center of attention.. Trust me.

God Bless You.
