Tommy, I have not discouraged discussion, debate, or disagreements here. That is clearly evidenced by the threads you see below this. However I did want to stick to forum rules, which I myself also was wrong about a number of times when I allowed and even participated in off-topic materials.
The one person I started to erase regardless was someone who had taken the Holy Name YHWH/YHVH and used the letters as beginnings of his web name. It took me a day to realize that was what was going on, but that, for me, is total blasphemy and as such not welcome wherever I moderate. This is a Christian board and that should be respected, whether or not it is agreed with.
Nor do I think Barry or I have ever discouraged disagreement with us. That is evident on our website as well as in the threads here.
But that's it for me here, then. Once Meert and Parsons and the rest have decided to hit, I'm gone. Not because I am not willing to take them on, which I have before, but for the sake of this forum itself. That group so discouraged two other webmasters before that two very lovely Christian forums were discontinued. I don't want the webmaster put in that position here, so I am leaving.
I wish you all the best.
