I say this thoughtfully. Does "iron sharpening iron" apply to those who don't even share in common a belief of the most fundamental things concerning Scripture? Does that truly make us better? Curious...
I think it's because most people are "right" fighters. Especially about religion and politics. And tend to take things personally. And of course some people are just your common jerks, who never saw a dog they wouldn't fight.

Very, very interesting poll. A man recently declared AFF a posting board for backsliders who have nothing better to do than run down their old church. Not what I said or think, but what someone told me. At least we know it's a pretty good balance of ex-UPC versus current UPC. A better poll could really hone down the demographic more.

The forum is about split into two with UPCI and former UPCI (presumably most former UPCIer's taking the "liberation" road, not the AMF, WPF road).

Thanks to everyone for participating.
Well.... that fella needs to come chat with me for a bit.
I'll certainly inform him of the truth about that.

I mean the guy does speak some truth, just perhaps his exact numbers weren't technically accurate!

Yes, Cindy. And others are "anything goes", peace bro, love not war... they stand for nothing in particular, but enjoy the community anyway.
