logic & goodbyes

[Staropramen]

Joe, don't leave. It's silly to leave over one argument. I had a pretty heated argument with another poster here awhile back. It never occurred to me to leave over it. You leave a place [like jewfront] because it becomes morally corrupt at the roots, not because of an argument with one person.

You need not leave the forum over this unpleasent experience Joe...
You are not the only one that has had a disagreement with SB...
Myself included. The fellowship is ever so important.......

I am deleting the first two posts from Joe and SwordBrethren for the simple reason that it is a continuation of what Bill locked the other day in another thread and shows disrespect for his wishes. Secondly, as many refugees from Stormfront are aware, there are no Grand Exits. And, unlike Stormfront, we in the Christogenea Forum are a community, much in the same way a neighbor is right next door. So, if we are to live with each other in a peaceful manner, that means we take to heart every biblical admonition to conduct ourselves as if we were conversing with Christ Himself. The nature of some subjects are so deep, that it behooves us to be circumspect in apprising other input, which at first glance may not conform to one's worldview, but may nevertheless, in the long run, actually enhance one's understanding. You just never know what yer gonna get: "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." God uses people all the time to change us for the better, even if it appears adversarial.

The best thing for all concerned is for both parties to reconcile, shake hands and be brothers in Christ. May this discourse be a lesson for us all, that, yeah, we may be having a bad hair day, but this is a place where we can lift each other up and bear one another's burdens. Your "goodbye," Joe, is hereby revoked.
