There needs to be a spirit of tolerance of fellow-Christians!
IMO, tolerance will never have a chance to be established as normative behavior where a talkative minority think that verbal sniping is a godly calling. To have this calling, a person would also need to have the unscriptural ability to discern another poster's motive/heart.
IMO, our shared willingness to engage one another via discussion is NOT SPORT. If the purpose for taking time to post is often established in stirring up some other poster that is preceived as an 'idiot' (or worse), that is a pretty clear witness of stuff being sourced from carnal-mindedness.
If that is the reason you come here...please put your reason under your avatar so that we can all know what motivates YOU. It will help others "get it" when you cast your chum upon the waters.

I agree and I'm assuming that the "you" you are referring to is addressing the board and not me specifically.
