As provable by dates on comments to this forum, I have made no comments for several days. During that time, I have sent PMs to admin and dmg regarding my intent to quietly withdraw from this forum. I have registered my attendence here since only for the purpose of reading PMs and messages, not to post as I am doing now.
However, reading of the "over the top" recent postings regarding my quite innocent original post to the "STRONGS" thread, and witnessing silence on my part having no affect, forcing past recall of numerous such times, something compels me to attemp to put a stop to it in this manner!
This worker, review005, apparently is on a convention tour in my part of the world, basically traveling alone. Things he has expressed in this forum witnessed by all were not expressed by me. Yes, eventually I have responded, as only His comments and another's comments brought to recall experiences of my own. When that woman worker grabbed me by the collar at that Wisconsin, convention, while just standing in line, I neither touched her nor rebuked her. It was her impetus that resulted in her falling to that muddy wet ground in the embarrassing manner that she did.
If others, specifically review005, had not publicaly made comment bringing it back to mind after so many years, I do not believe I would even have thought to mention it again, contrary to his false assertions about my doing so since. His subsequent totally off the wall straw man attack on my OP and integrity in posting it, is beyond my comprehension. I like Strong's for reasons of my own, just as I like Young's, being able to use all aspects of both of them, and having given due credit to them both through out my lifetime since 1965.
Now as to Alan V. And even Gene! I admire both of them, and others like them for THEIR abilities! Do I have those abilities? Absolutely not to the extent I desire them. Do I have any qualities anyone else might wish to emulate, or acquire? Not likely! Yesterday I commented to my love now in this life, that perhaps the reason I love my God as much as I do is that He has forgiven me so much.
So, if anyone wants to point out my supposed sins, all they need to do is pm me asking to know what God has forgiven me for and I will begin a list for them. Challenge any making such a request of me to be willing to respond in kind. Review005? Someone else?

I wouldn't let someone like him shut me down. He doesn't know how to behave in this kind of a forum. My opinion is that some of his fellow workers need to have a talk with him about his attitude -- unless they're ALL just like him.

That, or he is toadying up to an 'overseer.'
I still wonder if the problem is that he is unhappy for some reason & just vents his anger on this board because he can't in other settings.

I think he needs a girlfriend. It could calm him down considerably.

Friend "Mary" your comment is very much appreciated. You visited in our home several days, and to my recollection nothing was related about the separate convention experiences related here.
The reason I considered just quietly slipping away was that review005 had begun to make me personally the issue; then the object publicaly of his attacks, even when I made no comment. When such personal attacks grow unchecked, for me it is simply time to disappear for a spell. But then, I know, I lack wisdom.
Now, with more of the account the focus, and some support by others here, I no longer feel that it is I who should just "walk on." We can wait and see what this "worker" has to express after these recent posts, if anything. Personally, I suspect he will be ashamed enough to let things lie and die away. If that is what he wishes, and doesn't return to resume them, that is fine with me, and I will return as before, mostly just ignoring such posts.
Also, I feel very badly anybody else became involved. I am sorry for his attacks on you. Thank you too, curly, and the one pointing out that OP was not at all like review005 sought to present it. Thank you. Smile, and thanks to you also, dmg, Bob.
And now thank you meerkat!
Jesse, it takes more than just one to keep the peace, unless that one is The Lord. Also, how you view things may not be how everyone else does.
'Nite all, Dennis

As provable by dates on comments to this forum, I have made no comments for several days. This would be a true statement iff 'several' had been defined as a number less than 2. Not the common usage. Besides the fact it has not been a long lapse of time, can you shed some light on the reason for the comment? I am sure there are many who will be sad if you depart. Truthfully, @dennisj, I am still wondering what the point of the OP in the Strings thread was. Informing people that a copy of the original version of Strongs, published more than 100 years ago might not be up to date hardly seems like news. If I had not read so many posts by you I would come away from that thinking you were blaming someone else for what you posted. I am sure there is a reason why you felt the need to inform people that new information regarding the usage of Greek closer to the time of Jesus made the Strongs publication from the 1900 less reliable. But you have yet to say what that reason was. Perhaps it was just a random informational public service message. What leads you to believe that anyone would want to point out your sins?

I dislike being in this situation but I have to agree with Jesse_Lackman. I don't see any more anger in the posts by Review than in the responses by @dennisj and others who have contributed to this thread.

making a thread about another user here is in poor taste and should be handled by admin/mods or done by PM...

Dennis - don't let Review005 shut you down... Going by what is written, I think there is implication that review005 has the ability to shut down Dennis. This can be taken a couple ways, but by what is written, there is implication that review005 can and wants to shut Dennis down . . . which I take to be to get him (Dennis) to stop posting. By what is written. Not inferring what might or might not be implied. Not reading as if the reader wrote or as if there is a certain tone or emotion that is not directly indicated, but is assumed. I think we need to read with as an objective mind as possible. Some people are able to write in such a way as what they write could be taken two ways. This could be practiced deniability or simply being unclear in writing or different readers interpreting differently. "What do you mean by ______________________ ?" might be helpful in getting understanding. Might. Then again, by asking such, one might be trying to avoid what is written with hopes that a further response might be more usable for the reader/replier to go around what was originally written.

However, no doubt she probably would have shown him the door long ago.

How 'strange' (wink wink nod nod), how amazing, that the posters on this thread are Dennis, Mary, Bob and dmg. I could post pages of unpleasant personal attack from this tmb quartet. Dennis your brethren they don't want you to ride off into the sunset! Keep your posts coming! You are needed here! But make sure they stand up to questioning!..... Cuz questionable posts will continued to be questioned. I suggest you respond the questions directly and factually rather than swerving off into unpleasant personal attacks that have been your trademark over the last week and way back beyond that whenever you are questioned, asked to substantiate something. Your abuse is water off a duck's back. I ignore it, so hardly are an effective way of answering me. I just come back and question a questionable statement again and will continue to do so! Now let us all pray.

RossYou have made a questionable statement 'Dennis - don't let Review005 shut you down' But that's not a statement. It's an imperative sentence.
