I wasn't accusing anyone of doing such a thing. I was only saying preachers talking about laypersons would be more analagous to admin talking about posters than preachers talking about preachers would be.

Are you a preacher? Do you discuss things on preacher only forums?

If it came across as a personal attack I am sorry.
From my perspective everyone clamoring about Preachers only forums "sounds" a little like someone is insecure that is all.

I didn't say it was not alright. Im asking what is the necessity? Here is the preachers opportunity to explain why it is necessary.
See I admitted to what we discuss, it wasn't so hard
So, the reason Preachers have a preachers only forum is they want to talk about problems they are having with certain preachers?

You go from an agressive attack to a passive agressive one of calling him insecure... that shows some major security issues for someone...

I always thought they talked about budgets, attendance, and golf.

Maybe about which bar has the cheapest drinks? (So they can catch their members going there).

Prax,
I am sure every preacher would have their own reasons for posting on a closed forum. I have heard that some felt it was better to post with other ministers least they be seen "pastoring" someone elses saints. Some are just more comfortable in a closed environment where other preachers are posting.
I honestly think that many of the conversations would be the same type we had here when many of those preachers posted here regularly. They bickered and fought then. That hasn't changed. What has changed is they now do it outside of the sight of saints. Not that they are "better", but that it is a little unsettling to see a man that preached at your church last night tell another preacher on a forum the next day that he is gonna bust hell wide open for what he believes. 
I am not sure I have any major reason, other than it was what was open to me to fellowship when I backed away from here.
Hope this helps.
