In the middle, one finds balance. BTW, did I ever tell you that in the real world, I go by my middle name, "Ron?" How ironic, eh? Lol


I agree,we have got to be balanced,not going from one extreme to another!

No you haven't even told me what your REAL FIRST name is..........lol.

Hello Ron

It seems to me that @2ndTimothyGroup is quite willing to bury hatchets. How about you?



Lol,REALLY?

I have no hatchet to bury.

When a person cannot see themselves but instead they BLAME others for the things THEY do,I don't have much use for them. He know where I stand!

Btw I did not choose to be put on ignore, that's a falsehood.

As I said if I get put there and I don't do the same to them I can still see and comment or react to ANY post.

I feel the same about the "ignore" button... There's just something very juvenile about it.

Oh, good grief! I keep getting those Red Xs too lol...
Must be a side effect of one's self-esteem relying entirely upon online reputation and presence... It has always seemed strange to me how some can shrink their entire world down to the size of a phone.:rolleyes:
Charlirenee is the only staff member that I've had any interaction with, here. Btw: Her heart is pure gold! Anyway, if you look at her account and consider the emojis that she hands out, she's only given out one Red X and maybe another that appears to have a negative connotation to it. Mine? Not one. I don't believe in issuing negative emojis, as I believe that my words are enough. To disagree with someone and then slap them with a Red X just seems odd. It seems childish to me. Yes, I realize that this forum grants the right to label someone's message as "boring," but that doesn't mean that I am obligated to use it/them. I'm in my mid-fifties, for crying out loud. I've completely outgrown using little pictures to make a point. However, I LOVE issuing the "Winner" emoji as much as possible, the "thumbs up" and the "agree" buttons. Why? Because I know, within my heart, that everyone enjoys seeing them. Conversely, no one enjoys the Rex X.

I believe in building others up instead of tearing them down. That said, at times we must disclose the nature of folks, just as did the Apostles, to expose the darkness that others claim to be as light.

She just gave me another one in my last post above. This is what is so amazing . . . they don't realize how they are utterly exposing to us all, their lack of maturity. It's as if being immature was something to be proud of. And to think that this person has belittled me for not being humble. I mean, she's belittling me . . . and accusing me of not being humble! Bwahahahaha - Can't even make this stuff up.

Good grief;
Ive heard 2/3 year old brats whine less.

Words spoken are just as bad if not worse than emojis. But of course those that seem so good and right in their own eyes won't ever acknowledge that!

It takes practice.

Here is one tip: Those who insist upon bothering others . . . I render them as potential alcoholics/drug addicts. These are people who may very well be sitting in front of their computer in their underwear with empty beer cans surrounding them on the floor.

It's bizarre seeing a person PRAISE THE LORD in one thread and then belittling a person just moments later in another.

My point . . . don't look like an alcoholic or drug addict on a Christian Forum. lol

Humility must be practiced, this is certain! :cool:
