Dissenting opinions are allowed, especially on things like extra-Biblical standards, but there is no tolerance for the "in your face" posting style by either side.

Shoot, I was banned before I had a chance to display any attitude, good or bad.

I e-mailed the High Potentate asking what requirements I did not meet, but so far, no response.

I see.
Frankly, there have been times I wished we took a similar stand here.

I don't necessarily wish bad toward anyone who comes around here, but there are definitely some whose attitudes and spirits are very poisonous. We wouldnt put up with such attidudes if we were sitting together in a church building, so why should we put up with such attitudes on a forum?

While I am Admin on a couple forums that is not one of them. Neither am I "inner circle" so I honestly don't know what happens in most individual cases.

But for record, personal experience, the same thing happened to me. Twice.

It was a several week process involving several "discussions" and clarifications.

And if the final answer had been no, I would have understood.

It's not an open forum.

Well, one thing is for certain each persons decides his friends but sometimes some of us (me included) get carried away and say things we are later sorry for saying.

So foul attitudes should be acceptable on a forum?

You e-mailed Jesus Christ? Try prayer, maybe e-mail is extra-Biblical, and therefore the Lord won't respond with that medium. Wasn't the requirements offered to you prior to you signing on? Do you remember what they were?

It's not an open forum.

As usual, your insight is thoughtful and appreciated.
