There is a wrong way to do it. It appears to me from what Coon said that running a web-site for such expressions do little to no good. I suspect that it does far more harm instead.
But, Bro. Keith and Sister Rhoni might be more capabable in this area than I.
So, don't take what I say as a definite item.

It's a private forum and not spread out on the net for all to see... not that I'm saying that I agree with the way she handles everything there... but brushing it under the rug and telling someone to just get over it, isn't the answer either.

The fact is that due to the internet, people are no longer able to hide the kinds of things that have been happening for years and some people have a problem with that...

Knowledge is power -- and the power has shifted.

Having power is one thing, applying it correctly is where the rubber meets the road in being truly Christ like.

Really, when you think about it, the struggle in the church over the last 25 years or has been a power struggle.

Her website violates the premise of "tell it not in Gath" about as sorely as it can be violated.
In the name of helping people heal, I personally believe she is an unintentional enabler for whiners who want to go through life displaying their "wounds" for all to see.
Having said that, I believe she is totally sincere, truly cares about people, and is convinced she is doing the right thing.
We exchanged a number of emails and PM's, and I found her to be pleasant, cordial, honest, and really nice to correspond with.
i was honest with her regarding my feelings about her site, and she was objective enough to understand my perspective without agreeing with it.

Coonskinner, cmon man, there is no way I could have an intuitive notion of your opinion about anything. That is why I asked. I have nothing to defend here.
Thank you for your honesty. This is the first thing someone has said with any substance compared to the simple name calling, judging and dismissals that have already been offered.
You have a greater insight into her website than I do therefore I can't really agree or disagree with your opinion, but I can agree what you said about Lois personally.
What's wrong with a little honesty now and again? I think it could be that folks are not willing or do not have the ability to explain themselves.

Yep... (btw -- I'm sincerely agreeing with you, I just don't have much to add.  )
