Love them, of course.

Answer them..... Nooooooo..... unless the Spirit leads you to do so.:)
Interesting if you don't want to answer them then why is God going to lead you to do so? I don't think God is in the business of forcing people to answer others, what is the logical reasoning.

it would help if i get a notification when i'm quoted.

honestly, post is somewhat scatterbrained, and sometimes forgets to check threads where he's posted.

Communication involves both parties taking part in keeping the cycle going. I rarely answer questions because my interest in communicating ends as soon as I post my comment. I don't feel obligated to engage in a discussion, whether it be with people I might have a friendly fondness for or the other kind. Most of the time, I just want to read, toss my two cents in and then sit back down. Fortunately for me, I've got enough folks 'round here trained and they have me on ignore, so the likelihood of a verbal exchange hovers near zero.

You are funny, over here it would be called a dry sense of humour, you would fit well in. :D

And some don't have the time and/or interest to go in circles with people. Not everyone who joins this site is looking for an endless argument. Doubt you're going to convince anyone to do anything, whether it's the ones dodging or those who don't come here to argue. Chances are your opinion isn't going to dictate how others act, much as you seem to want it to.
I have a much different outlook on this. When I take part in a debate with someone on a website like this, Im not actually thinking about the person Im debating, but the people who are reading the thread : p

I mean like, this is a forum, a site for discussion. We all come here to both read and take part in discussions. My thoughts are on the people reading my posts, not the one person Im engaging with. I mean like, when I get into a debate with someone, it starts because the person Im debating posted their opinion for everyone to see, and I believe its entirely wrong and will mislead others.

Like, I commonly take part in debates that are more personal for me, and one of them is the issue of homsexuality. There are a small handful of members here who like to go to those threads and shame others for agreeing that its wrong. So of course, I want to give an alternative point of view to their post, and show how they are wrong,
When I do this, Im well aware Im gonna cause the poster Im disagreeing with to not like me, and that they will more than likely harden their stance : p But its the people they were speaking to when they made the post that Im actually thinking about when I respond to them.

I could be totally wrong, but I seem to be in the minority with this way of thinking.


As for answering every response, its easy to forget you were even in a serious convo anyway : p Alot of times I also wont come back unless someone liked one of my posts on the thread, haha.

So many comments are made here to another's post but when questioned as to what they mean they never answer. If your going to comment on someone's opinion or what ever, you should at least try to remember to go back and see if they have a question. I'm guilty of this myself and do apologize.
Something I didn't think about on my previous post: I seldom read a long response in it's entirety. I don't have the patience.

I tend to "binge" this site. Meaning, I'll hit it hard for a coupla days. Even though, "hitting it hard", for me, anyways, is reading usually, the first page of posts. Sometimes, just the first 4 or 5 postings...lol Rarely, do I go past page 1 er 2. Like others, I'll go to a post that someone hits the like button, and read on to see how far off topic (which occurs more often then not...lol) it has gone.

and like some people? I'll read and respond to the OP, without going any further, then start reading the responses, only to find, that by the time I get to where it is my response "landed"?...The topic has been parsed out to the point that my response to the OP is irrelevant. And, it seems that there are posters in here, that are so very want to achieve just that!.....People, are gonna act........like people, yanno?

...and like some posters? Generally, I'll respond in agreement, or disagreement, not really caring if anyone responds to my response, or not. Unlike many other forums er chatrooms, this forum doesn't strive to dictate in an unreasonable manner. Which is what keeps me coming back! 2 thumbs up Christian Chat!!

God's ways, are not our ways, and God's thoughts, are higher then our thoughts. I try to reflect in, and by my responses, usually in topics that indicate to me, that "there's something going on within this person, that isn't getting answered by "the general consensus of where christianity/churchianity" is, or NORMAL. It's rather akin to like that whioch happened to John the Baptist's dad. It's KINDA like this in this format also. Things which one might be able to speak about with one's fingers, are things, at least, mostly where I'm concerned, are things that in a real life setting, won't strive long. When it doesn't strive IRL, and ya can see it in here as well, "here come the sharks". Jumpin' dead in yer chit! :rolleyes:

While I agree, sometimes the reason people don't or stop answering is because after a while they stop getting sent notifications that a new comment has been made. Also, there's only so long someone can follow a thread without getting bored or feeling like a discussion is going nowhere.
