It is a trying thing to have a fiery temper. It ought only be employed to fight the good fight. But, mine gets away from me sometimes and then, the good that I would do is undermined.
There are posters on TOL who seem intent on besmirching the name of those with whom they take issue.
When one feels strongly about an "issue" one may make a determined and aggressive stand in good faith and still remain within the bounds of proper and seemly debate.
I commend those of you who never go outside the boundaries of propriety. I take you as role models.
What I am attempting to do with myself is to remember that those who have chronically shown themselves to engage in pejorative ad hominim's and ruthless low blows are not going to change.
It does appear that the management here not only allows these posters free rein but also encourages their behavior.
I must remember that also.
I may be banned for speaking my mind.
I have asked, in a fit of anger, to be removed from the board. I apologize for the anger behavior. It serves no good purpose.
It seems a losing battle to attempt to fight the good fight here which has always been my goal.
This is a Christian forum. It is the historical airing of Christian wisdom by many knowledgeable and spiritual folks on this forum which has had me returning for lo these many years.
Also, the many dear friendships which have been forged over the days, months and years of sharing our thoughts, our joys and our sorrows has been an immense blessing for me.
I guess I'm not able to change much either. To my friends, blessings.
To the rest of you? Phhhhhhttttt!
