You Falsely Accused Me About My Intents...

Why paint it so?

I'm not him, so I can't answer that. Hyperbole perhaps.

The quote I posted above wasn't a private conversation. We could all see your posts in that thread.

"""We had a poster here who was trying to move his family from one place to another. All you wanted to do was troll the brother. For what? To make yourself look Apostolic to a bunch of strangers who don't care?"""

I don't read anything in this quote which refers to a private conversation you both had. In fact, it wasn't until 8 posts later when you brought up the private conversation, not him.

This is exactly what another poster does. He'll post something personal and then get mad when people comment about it and accuse them of making it personal.

Ridiculous.

Had you not mentioned the private conversation, it likely would have remained just that -- private. But YOU brought it up first, on post 236, so you really have no reason to be mad at the other person for commenting on something YOU first mentioned.

One can mention a private conversation, without intent to have any details of the private conversation put on blast.

Imagine a wife living by the ethic or rule being supposed. Your boss comes to dinner and you mention work that you've told your wife all about him, and then suddenly she starts telling all the details of all the things you've said about him behind his back. LOL

The one who CHOSES to put the contents of a private conversation on blast CHOSES to do so. Whether it's mentioned or not.

When I was a minister we NEVER mentioned details of things said in private. If someone brought it up that we talked, I might say, "Yeah, I remember. We talked." That's it.

It's basic ethics... and again... that common sense thing that should be listed as a superpower around here.

Yes I do. Really if anyone had a grievance, it would be the OP of that thread. Talk about painting things in a bad light or mischaracterizing things...

Pot, meet kettle.

Person A brings up the private conversation, person B doesn't respond.

Read the thread. Start at post #228 and filter the two persons.

At #236, the private conversation is brought up by person A.
#242 Person A mentions it again
#243 Person A mentions it again
#245 Person A mentions it again

Up to this point, person B hasn't responded AT ALL to any of the posts about the private conversation. Not a single word was posted about it by person B.

#245 gives even more detail of the private conversation:

"You knew my intent. You shouldn't have done that. Why would you have questioned my intent publically when you and I talked about that privately? I don't get that brother-- not at all. That offends me because publically you are trying to disparage me over something that you and I discussed privately. That's... YOU'RE A PIECE OF WORK!"

It's after this that person B finally responds with #247:

"Now since you felt the need to post the above is it alright for me to post what you posted me?"

And person B then posts his response to person A.

Had person A not gone on a rant about the private conversation ... and then given alleged details about that "private" conversation, I doubt person B would have responded.

It's only after person B is accused of something that he responds.

Final warning. Those who persist in continuing the conversation on the closed thread on new ones will be infracted and receive a ban.

Closing this thread also. Folks this is not rocket science. Stop the childish threads, insults, etc, etc.

I can only imagine what any visitors coming to AFF for the first time must think seeing this kind of mean spirit and childishness we have seen lately on threads only meant to throw insults at fellow AFF members or to complain about them.

As my mom would have said "just stop it!!!" Surely we are better than this.

Those of you who feel wronged you may well be but let it go. Take a deep breath and pray for forgiveness and grace.

Those of you who clearly have a mean streak and take joy in taunting people need to really pray about how you interact on a christian forum.

This thread is closed.
