Well, I must admit knowing Brett Deason, LOL, and he was here a couple of years ago but dropped off.
The "nigger talk" was edited out of this post, by Brett himself from what it says:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=4908I do not edit posts (unless it is totally non-controversial and I have a pressing compulsion to fix a serious typo). I do not think the other admins would edit them either.
It is not right that Brett edited his post after being criticized for it. We all screw up and we should all take criticism, and we should not feel badly if our past sins being corrected are nevertheless known. To edit a post after being criticized is, in my opinion, a display of the attitude that one can do no wrong.
I locked a topic here two months ago, because someone attempted to edit a post that I had replied to and quoted in my answer. I reverted it, and locked the topic, because I felt that when the original post was edited it made me look like a liar. Therefore editing the post after my criticism was, in my estimation, totally dishonest on the part of the original poster who edited his post after receiving criticism.
I am not saying that I am perfect, and you all may find me to be obnoxious at times, perhaps. But neither dishonesty nor a lack of humility when one is criticized belong on a Christian forum.
Brett edited a post which he was criticized for, and removed those parts of it that drew the criticism. If he were humble and contrite of heart, he would also have apologized for his language which was criticized when he edited the post. I pray he reads this and considers that advice.
