I understand your concern. Several people's reputations have been brought into question on this forum, and when it's a conservative, the conservatives rally. When it's a liberal, the liberals rally.
On this forum, mostly what I've seen is the words and preaching of the two you mentioned have been questioned, not necessarily their character.
Those who did make personal insults have been infracted and apologized.

This was in response to posts of some libs arguing against the assured hellboundness of trinitarians.

This is a question I think Bill Pricie is most qualified to answer.

I agree. Many times I have come to the defense of LS by stating that I would trust him alone with my wife or daughter any day.
I have also stated that despite of the accusations that it is adornment I think RR's giant feathers are...er.....interesting.

That's good to know. I barely come here. I have heard both these people teach on hair but they themselves have not give it the label of Holy Hair, or Magic Hair Doctrine, that is a lable that has been given them by those who see nothing wrong with cutting their hair and it is very unkind. You can disagree as you say without making a mockery of what they believe and without the namecalling.

The same belief was expressed in both statements. One statement invites discussion while the other is an invitation to argue.

Yes...some need to take eloquence 101....I agree!! We have to be very careful how we express, because no one can see our facial expressions and body language. That changes everything!!

Bro. Tenney says that there are always two ways to say the same thing to get two very different results. For instance, if you say to your wife, "Honey, when I look at you, time stands still" your wife will be putty in your hands. But, if you say, "Woman, you have a face that will stop a clock!" there is a VERY different result!

Oh you are so correct!!!!!

I have tried to help this by reminding people that when they are reading my posts they need to picture a fat middle aged guy with a very dry sense of humor!
