How many still plan to post here.... or are you so disgusted with what has happened to this board that you just do not want to trust it any more?
Do you know anyone that has said that?

I am happy to post here. I never read personal attacks (unless against myself) so am not bothered by them. If everyone moves to another board then the unregenerate behavior will simply move as well.

I can take it or leave it and it's the same with all of the boards. I get bored and or disgusted by all of them at times! Neither 2x2s, or ex/non 2x2s have the monopoly on stupid, disruptive behavior on these boards.

I've become bored of these boards. Even my own. I'm abandoning the entire enterprise and moving onto more interesting pastures - personal theological research and writing, and interaction with atheists and Muslims, both of whom are much more polite and respectful and open to reason than so many ex-2x2s who have found the "real christ".
The same topics are recycled here with monotonous regularity. It is a cycle of abuse that turns and turns and, like Buddhist Koans, is utimately a meaningless nonsense - like one hand clapping.
I'm glad the board melted down, and I'm glad my own board has been an abject failure. It has taught me that I have wasted time that I could have spent more profitably writing, reading and setting up my blog.

wow, GIT just now condemned exes again. Some things just never change, and some people just never grow up.

I plan to use this board primarily for my postings, and I hope others will also.

;D Your right I saw that after I posted it. But I did add... Do you know anyone that has said that? GIT did post ... saying that he would most likely not post here any more. So I guess he will cut his hands off latter.

Well GIT I am sorry you feel that your board was a failure, I think it was a great learning experience and as long as it is up I intend to post in both places. I do agree with you GIT I take loooonnnggg breaks from posting or checking, because I just don't have time or energy to deal with the drama. I also agree that atheists and buddhist and some others have more open mindedness when it comes to discussing spiritual things. Sometimes tho I just have to come check on all of my friends Blessings, Misty

I think there is a reason many become angry. Those who left because they felt they had been lied to are bound to be angry until they have figured out how to deal with it. And then there are those who feel they have to fight to protect a way of life that they may not know if it's real or not. I also think the reason it gets rehashed is just like lilwolfmisty just mentioned, that we all take LOOOOOONNNNNGGGG breaks at varying times so things are bound to get discussed and rediscussed by various people. It's not that we are all horrible, arrogant, or stupid, but we are human. I don't really think that the atheists or Buddhists or Muslims have a lock on being nice. Do you participate in message boards with them or in person? I think online discussions can tend to get more out of hand than in person. I have read some Muslim message boards and they are no different than this one.

We all need to chill. Sometimes we become too supersensitive to comments. There is no need for anyone to be down right nasty to anyone else. While inside people generally did not fight with one another, maybe thats why the internet medium is used as an excuse to let off steam. Attack.

I intend to use this board now that it has been restored. I formerly posted as "Andrew M" but when I went over to 2x2 Doctrine Board both the names "ron" and "Andrew" (my forenames) were already taken by registered posters, so I have registered there as "Ronald." I tried to register on this board as "Ronald" but it appears there is already a registered poster on this board with this name. I have now registered here as "RAM" which are my full initials. However, I noticed before this board went down that someone (unregistered) had used that handle for a post.
From now on Andrew M is "RAM" on this board and "Ronald" on the 2x2 Doctrine Board.

I agree with you, Shushy. And I couldn't care less who is anonymous here. in chat, or anywhere else....but when they use it as an excuse to say things they wouldn't normally say under their registered handles, or to your face...that really, really makes me angry. AND hurts my feelings. M. Then again, those type of people don't normally care about anyone's feelings so...... eh. par for the course, as they say...

Me 2 ...

Haha..Pueb you make me laff. You are on the other boards. Sounds double minded. BTW ..... You told me I had amnesia on one post. I also notice you dont answer any questions I ask you. Is that deliberate? To me that is the height of bad manners. Do you have a problem with women? I am not angry, just curious.

I'll be here. Edy And I'll be here as tulip2 in discussions, bit of a silly nic but it was late one night, probably after a glass of red, and what do you call yourself when the box appears asking for a nickname and you've given it no thought? "tulip" was already taken so tulip2 did the trick.. and here I am. The other cap I've got is the task of admin, thanks to some weird circumstances I'm still trying to figure. I've only been a member here for a short time but been around the various boards off and on for quite a few years. You are a great little community here and I'm looking forward to participating in the discussions. Thanks.

So that is how you came up with your nic. I thought it might be because of the TULIP belief (see link). gjcoc.com/Bul/TULIP.htm
