Im my "opinion" it isn't what is posted but the "spirit" & "attitude" in which the post comes.
Most of us aren't rocket scientists but pretty much all of us can tell when someone wants to post to "pick a fight" rather than posting for "disscussions sake."
Most of us on here agree the UPCI has faults and weaknesses and is not perfect, however most don't want to be reminded every second or third post or thread.
To the Liberal minded, some of the things you are accusing good men & women of God of Standards as thought control & legalistic, are something that they hold very dear.
To our more Conservative brethren, some that are liberal haven't nessecarly
"backslid" they may have more liberty than others in some things.
They desire to be respected as well-if not for their doctrines sake, for their position in the body of Christ's sake.
Us mods, well we are fighting terribly to actually show that we have convictions on some things without apearing to be a fence straddler!
Is this a disscussion board where things are truly disscussed & analysed from different viewpoints, or is it just a "I post and if you dare dissagree you must be a hard ultra con, or a greesy liberal."
That isn't going to foster any open topics for disscussion.
I believe there is still good threads to come, the best post is yet to be made.
There are still more fun things yet to be done on these forums.
What we need is a healthy "Respect" for one another.
Sad that we can do that to the others in the world, but we find it hard to give it to our Brothers & Sisters in the Lord.
As for me I love all of you-some more easly than others.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Just some ramblings from a Hard Headed Canadian who is still walking towards his eternal destination.
God Bless!
