Irthnvesl's complaint about dave c's devotional

[Shellie]

Tim,

Not that you would ever give me the benefit of the doubt, however there may be some info that you are unaware of. I HAVE given Irthnvesl very polite reasonings before. More than once. Therefore, his "poking" at me on the dave c thread was really "cyberbullying" of me. Since it is your moral strength to take up for those that are being bullied, will you take up for me? If you ask Irthnvesl, I think he will at least be honest and tell you that except for once, I have given him very polite and reasonable answers and reasonings. Anytime I have moved a post, I have sent him a friendly reminder and politely answered his questions. I have the PM's saved if you'd like to see them.

A little history for you. Irthnvesl has had it out for me every since I moderated one of his distasteful and hateful jokes. He told a joke about a homosexual and used the term "queer." I removed his joke and told him it was unacceptable. He then changed the word queer and re-posted the joke again. Every since then, he has had an issue with me. I think that if he will admit it, when he first stirred the people up, I defended him and asked them to give him room. He spit all over that. He has continued to push and shove even when I have politely asked him to keep it in the reins of the board. He refuses and pushes the envelope.

So, the "bullying" started with him.

Shellie,

Thanks for that. It was genuine and worthy of respect. I appreciate it. It doesn't excuse Scooter's behavior, and even knowing what you have said, I would still respond to it the same way. But, no, I have appreciated a lot from you lately, and, yes, I am usually able to give people the benefit of the doubt. I pretty much despise your husband's attitude and meanness, but I still think there is probably some good to him, or else he wouldn't be a successful father and pastor. I understand that he is threatened by me and others and that being mean is how he deals with it. People like that do grow up, over time. I have done a lot of growing in my life, and I'm sure he is on an upward journey, too. In the mean time, I'll be here to give him heck as he gives it unto others.

Thanks again for your explanation. I do believe that it was sincere.

All this reminds me of that new Ray Boltz song.

Honestly, Rough, I don't expect Christians to care about other people's feelings any more than anyone else does. You are just like everyone else, Christian or not. Not a problem in my book.

Tim,
I try not to get caught up in the fussing that at times happens on forums. I slipped up and did it anyway, the underdog, Ray Boltz comment was uncalled for. Please forgive me, I was out of line.

Thanks for that, Rough. It's okay. Don't feel like you can't put me in my place when I deserve it. And don't let me play the Christian card on you too often, either. It's not a fair game unless we all have the same amount of cards, and I'm not sure what kind of card you could play to match the Christian one. If you can think of one, go ahead and play it on me every now and then.

No hard feelings.

Where did go? Did you leave your new BFF to clean up your stuff?

Do you want him to say farewell so that someone can tell him not to let the doorknob hit him in the butt? It would be sad for that part of the script to be left out.

I already said that to you a couple of posts up the thread

Tim,
Someone along the line hurt / abused you extremely bad didn't they? I deeply apologize for this individuals actions if they represented Christ. Don't judge my Christ for the actions of men.

Also.. as you already know... you will not find what you are looking for where you are currently searching. Sadly more emptiness and pain awaits. Pointing out cracks over and over in a building foundation.. doesn't make the building any less real or without a designed purpose.

You have an invitation from God to try again - this day.
He's waiting. Go to him.

Chris, I've decided that I'd probably like you if I knew you in person. Not from this post particularly, but from your general personality. You are sort of an antithesis to me, and my best friends have usually been that way. Too bad we'll probably never meet in person.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thanks, Billy, for the clarification.

Everyone, Bible studies are apparently allowed in the General Discussion Forum. Be sure, though, not do make doctrinal studies out of them.

Okay Tim, You got me My vocabulary may have been sluggish when I typed that post. Bible Study aka Devotion .

And as Pastor Gary stated if it becomes a point of debate then moving to Doctrinal forum may be decided.

Nice try, buddy boy.

This is an OUTRIGHT LIE. Follow the threads. They tell the truth. It is TOTALLY insincere, Quit playing the victim.

Response: I feel the bounce coming.

What's a lie? That you post in the wrong forum? Can't stand to be told no? Can't post within the guidelines? Badger the moderators? Accuse them of lies, double standards, or having it out for poor ole you? Throw fits? Drink? Curse? Tell profane jokes? Want to teach us doctrine?

The more you post the more clear it becomes why you have to be told to take a break from discussion forums. Forums plural.
