Although it really tickles me that you could find such an old post and give it another run...

And, do not confuse "vitriol" with not having patience for nonsense that pours from the keyboards of some...

21Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

Monkey Face-

At the tip top of the Fellowship Hall is a thread telling how to ignore another member.

Also new is in the Thread Tools at the top of each thread-

Ignore This Thread.

It will never appear on your search lists even with 1000 posts.

It is reversable through the User Control Panel.

No need to try to resort to naming names. Even if it is the shared opinion of more than one.

Of course all of this little peeve is just adding to DA's "legacy"...

He made this all about him when he responded to my post which came nowhere near mentioning him...

I am not here to post about him but, here we are again, courtesy to him...

The ignore function completely baffles me unless those who use it are just here for the social stuff...

Ergo,

How a thread and eventually a forum goes soft...

And if you have nothing to add, you contribute to the softness.

Exactly...

Which is why I have been

for the last half hour...

When I have nothing good to add, I usually just lurk...

It would be nice if the word apostolic wasn't a subjective term. We don't know one-tenth of what happened in the early church. We mostly rely on the Book of Acts, which only highlight a 20-30 year period (?) It is possible there were some intense discussions with the NT church. We know they didn't always dance around the campfire singing Kumbyah My Lord.

What I do know is the apostles put on a "united" front when it came to reaching the world. They majored in majors and minored in minors. I can't think of anyone on this forum that I would not want to help reach the lost.

I am kind of frustrated at a couple of things.

There seems to be somewhat of a silent exodus from this forum of men and ladies that once carried the water in our other forums.

In PMs and such, there is a consistent line throughout their reasoning that "they have had enough of shallow talk, the piling on, unaccountibility, blasting people instead of issues, etc. In addition, this person told me that he/she feels the deeper thinking posts/threads are ignored. Some have said this forum is getting worse than NFCF or FCF on their worst of days.

I am not sure I agree, but that is the point nevertheless.

We are quick to say "So Long" to these people and it is sad. On the other hand the forum is only as good and has as much quality as people are willing to offer.

I have one question...in the mission statement of this forum it implies that folks here are Apostolic. Given some of what I have seen and read...I am seriously questioning if this is indeed true.

From the statistics here: I would compare AFF with the Gladiator sport of Roman times when the bloodletting was a sport and man came to watch and cheer the death of a warrior!

My thread got very little attention when it was doing what it was posted to do, entertain and give advice that might help someone on their way...what it was turned into by others:

Coonskinner, RRFORD, Chan, and the hanger's on...was a place to accuse Rhoni of:
#1. Hiding past sins in her life
#2. Using the forum to promote her ministry
#3. Incite rebellion
#4. To bash preachers [when the only one getting bashed was Rhoni]
#5. To discredit my life, my ministry, my profession
This is what got the most attention...the fact men could intimidate, invalidate, destroy reputation of a woman trying her best to live and love God.

This forum could have intelligent and stimulating conversation but the holiest of us all are such as have posted these awful things. They have disrupted the flow of conversations, riddled threads with their judgments, accusations, and their holier than thou attitudes...and then we have Malvaro getting out the buttered popcorn to watch. Many too afraid to come to my defense and those that did...afraid to post more because they too will get bashed.

If I knew how to post all the different posts and line them up for others to look at...I would...but as it is...go to the Dear Rhoni thread and read it for yourself...if you haven't already.

This is what AFF has come to...and who is the one to blame? The spirit of the devil which many give in to in the name of righteousess...
