I said that I don't believe that Tim is a Christian, not once but twice. In the first case, I made it in a glib and insulting manner and William rightly edited it out. In the second case, I said it to Tim, directly and without accusation. Apparently, my comment made to SBC Today. I don't mean to bring any dishonor to this little community, but I also stand by what I believe about Tim.
I like, William, am a little flumoxed. I am confused about the where the bright red lines are in what is acceptable to say about or to someone.
Tim slanders, accuses, begs to be banned and acts like a horse end, but we the moderators say, "Let it stand and let people decide form themselves." I state what I believe to be a specific belief about the state of Tim's soul and it is out of bounds. I am also having a private conversation and will accept the judgement of the moderators on this point, but I also wanted to have discussion board wide about what is and is not beyond the pale.
I want also to say for the reccord. I like and trust the judgements of the moderators on this board, and if what I said is beyond the pale, I will be offended but I will get over it. I think every moderator on this board are men of integrity and kindness and they have always treated me in the best manner possible. i am not trying to cause a fight about it and I have NO desire to call into question the integrity of these men who volunteer their time to be involved in these manners. Please don't think I am angry or frustrated with William or any other moderator.
I just want to talk about what others think is outside the lines.
