To as i c it I had a good relationship with all of them before. I had no reason to suddenly turn against them. And, I don't intend to turn against them now. So: bottom line: I'm trying to protect them: and trying to get them out of the awkward spot I put them in by apologizing. You must have received a private email from someone that complained about something or they mislead you about someones else's reply to your posts ... because for the life of me I cannot see what you are so worried about and apologizing for. I do not see anyone complaining here about your posts. People state their opinions and expectations, thought and thats what they are just their's. Some ask tuff questions or make pointed points, it does not mean that they are offended or that you need to get them out of anything. Your joke (remark) about / being excommunicated to me, made me personally think that you are thinking outside of the systems BOX and anyone taking offense I'd say has a problem. NOW be a Clydesdale and put your feet back down on the ground and stand tall. Clydesdale's feet were not meant for dancing You have done your part ..... you cannot do another's soooo stop dithering please, your making me nervous. I don't want you stepping on me

No, Walter, it was the lack of a response--the silence--that has caused me to think my big cloppers came down hard on someone...I've looked for bodies...but can't find any...(Those darn blinders just keep getting in my way!!!) Now...maybe...you've got them on too... (Surely just saying "no" didn't crush their spirits so much, that it sadden them to the point of silence... ) Tell you what, Walter. I'm check around my stall one more time: and you go check the cyberstalls of the registered thoroughbreds--and let's see if we can find out where those bodies are. Maybe they all went off to some other lush green pastures--without us...(or maybe the glue factory got em???) Oh no...here I go...trying to be funny again...(Some people never learn...and I thank the stars above every day that I'm not one of them!) Okay, Walter. Let's Make A Deal. If, perchance, my hooves ever come down on you (or you see them come down on some other poor, undeserving soul, just let me know...one swift kick to my hindquarters: a yank on the bridle to turn my massive head: or a sharp command to "Get off him!!!"oughta do it... Now, get outa my stall: go find those guys: and do a body count! (Tell ya: it's enuff to make me think I oughta register...)!!! Those darn farmers...don't know what they're putting in my oats these days...I've probably got mad cow disease....if you're right...and saying my reality's off-base.. And thanks Walter.

My 2cents worth. I don't think you said anything that was worthy of someone taking offense. The ones I think you are referring to seem very "stable" and willing to deal with whatever comes their way with no anger or hard feelings. Please don't stop posting your thoughts, I truly enjoy reading them and when you feel like registering, I will send a personal "Thanks"

Thanks amazed!
I didn't think I did (at the time I posted) but...when I looked around the room...I was the only one left...
Well, maybe they all just got busy...
Anyways, I located nitro. (on the administrator site) Poor guy....so sad...had a total meltdown...ended up posting as me....just terrible what my "no" did to him....
Maybe I'll just have the administrator remove just all my postings--and this time, when asked, I'll just say "Okay"
And nothing more. (That should be safe..yes???)
Anyways: those guys are very stable. (etc.). Which is what created part of the mystery... And they're also very necessary to this board. (Now: wanna help Walter and me find the rest of them???)
By the way: aren't you the one who asked me to provide you with an example of how I do things...causing others to always have to forgive me??? If so...was this example good enuff??? or ...do you need more???
Thanks for all the nice things you've said as well. (And if nothing unforseen occurs, I'll probably register very soon...but whatever you do, don't tell anyone...)

Does seem a tad more suited to me...
(And good! One more body found!)

Hi as i c it, I wasn't the one who asked for examples. (At least it doesn't sound familiar to me.) I also know and am amazed that people can keep up with this board. If I don't check up on it several times a day I can't seem to make much sense of the posts. If I stay away for a day then I need to reread, try to catch up, try to remember the titles of the threads. For my tiny mind it is really difficult. I am trying to find a balance and keep the rest of my life in order.

Thank you ilylo...I'm think I'm beginning to get the point...and see the benefits... (Do you think "Slow to see" would mind if I stoled his/her name) Does seem a tad more suited to me... (And good! One more body found!) Hi there, I appreciate your posts, "as i c it", and if you REALLY want the name "slow to see", I will change mine to another- NO problem. Any suggestions? "hopeless case" or ??~~~~ I am actually registered, but seldom formally log in. I have been consistent in using that name, though, on posting here. I think the name is appropriate for quite a lot of us, as God was trying to show us that HE is "the way , the truth and the life", and I , for one,was VERY VERY slow to see and kept looking for "a way", as in a certain group or church or method or...... It is WONDERFUL ,LIBERATING and FREEING to be given this new vision, just like HE said it would be- if the SON therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Take care, Alvin Kroeker Birch River, Manitoba

Hi Slow to See,
Thank you for your generousity, but I'll let you keep your name (even if it does suit me). And as to "hopeless case"...don't think that would really suit you...or anyone else on this board.
One of the most amazing things about Christ (and Christianity) was that it wasn't the noble: the powerful: and the rich: or even the beautiful that Christ seemed to call or care about. It was the leper: the blind: women: and those that were often truly without much hope--or wealth--or power--in his society.
His only qualification: you needed a heart. (And most of us can meet that qualification...regardless of all our other limitations).
Nice talking to ya! You take care too!

as i c it,In the nicest way possible....... Get over yourself. ;D You seem overly sensitive and that can be a good thing, but not on a forum like this. As I've discovered there are many readers who rarely or never post publicly and they will come to you with appreciation and friendship when you least expect it. That's one benefit of registering - you can receive PM's and people will talk about things they would never post publicly. And not everyone responds to every post, even to the ones that interest them. Having said all that, I enjoy your posts. You are honest and fresh, not at all offensive, willing to think, love God, and I will generally click on a thread when I see your name. I don't see how you could have offended anyone. So there you have it.

Hi Nathan,
Hi Nathan,
You're welcome!
No. I haven't been to the Standing True List. But I have heard of it, and may check it out, just so I know more about it.
Ah yes...registration...Seems I've heard that word mentioned somewhere before..... Wonder where???

Hi Rob, Ooh...I am wounded.... "Get over myself??? "Overly sensitive???...but...those where my GOOD qualities....the Only ones I had... But okay Dr. Rob...as long as you don't plan on taking away my bad too...at least I'll be able to do SOMETHING with my life... Anyways: I was over it. The Case of the Missing People had been (to my satisfaction) solved. And thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you returned to this board, and that we have your knowledge here. I always enjoy your posts too!

as i c it,
Hi my friend, have been away from the board a few days. In reading through this thread have come to the conclusion that you have successfully passed through a mid board crisis and come through un scathed. It is always accompanied by a feeling that we have offended someone or that we have made a critical error in our posting. But as we come through it we See that it is a result of heightened sensitivity to others feelings and beliefs. All a part of a wonderful awakening to the fact that we are all joyously bound in the Lord.
So "Welcome To The Other Side" Not sure who sings that, was it maybe 'Billy Idol'.
Anyway the purpose of my post was this, you mentioned that it was the silence after your post that got you to thinking negative thoughts. Some like myself only post sporadically, I work 4 on 4 off and usually only have time to post while I'm waiting for some great happening at work, my "home" time is far too precious to be sitting in front of a computer reading multitudes of posts.
Anyways love and regards to all my friends here.

Hello BC! Glad to see you're returned!! Sleep leaving everytime I arrived (for a week or so) may have impaired my ability to see straight...but--it sure brought out some nice responses from some very nice individuals. And, proved, as Shakespeare said: "All's well that ends well"--as this experience did. The "bitter exes" didn't quite live up to their reputation, did they? I hope that all you read this, (my experience for lack of another word): notice that Walter--one of those with the "wrong spirit"--stepped forward--with compassion--to offer comfort to "the wounded". And that any who failed to slow the same compassion to him--and who might, even now, have a chance to show some of that same compassion unto him--would do so. Such a kind individual...deserves a kind word (from any 2 x 2 that might have known him). So BC: As you'll notice from some of the new posts--the battle goes on. (Some things--which ought not to be--still are...apparently). Glad you're back--once again--to carry on the fight, for change.
