What trouble? I'm helping you keep the standards high.
I see you haven't moderated the swears yet.

Hoss, somehow I feel that if you were really inclined to help, you would have noticed two things: first, I am the only moderator on the forum in question, and second, I hadn't logged in betweeen the time you posted your objection and the time you wondered why the comment had not been moderated. So please forgive me if I doubt the sincerity of your objection to the use of language.

Sorry, Arbi. I don't really understand who is in charge of what. It seemed as if Mirkwood approved of the use of language.
I object to the use of language.
I also object to the continuing double standard on this forum. (IE cocobeam and jen get away with anything they want.)
Hoss, I don't believe that you're stupid, as you're pretending to be. Each forum is clearly labeled with who moderates what. I know that you are much more intelligent than that. Not only that, but the posts announcing each new moderator are publicly available and responsibilities clearly delineated.
The charge that Jen and Coco get away with whatever they want is spurious, and is only made to cover the indisgressions of the poster.

And, FWIW, calling someone stupid is not exactly in keeping with the rules of this forum.
But hey, apparently if you are the right person, you can get away with anything here.
I didn't bother to read all the posts about who was moderating what. I felt that you were the one who is "indispensible," and none of the other so-called moderators seem to give a damn (I know, but hey, everyone else gets to swear, so why not me?).
So I called you in on it.
I notice that you haven't moderated the offending word yet.
Twist, twist away. I didn't call you stupid, and you know it. I said that you were playing stupid when you're really intelligent. Was Coco's language course? Sure, and I'm not entirely comfortable with it. But she didn't refer to you using that word, she merely said that it appears that you pulled your ideas out of that area. No, I'm not going to moderate that word in this specific case.

Hoss, can I ask a serious question? I'm confused as to why you stated that you wanted to leave the forum, yet you come back and make a lot of accusations (whether right or wrong).
Then they can keep their gospel hobbies, and weak testimonies out of the main stream.
I don't understand the bitterness here. Perhaps there's something going on behind the scenes of which I'm unaware. But this statement is inflammatory.
What comfort, purpose, or result are you looking for by making these type of posts? I truly do not mean for this to be anything more than trying to understand the emotion behind the statements. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you or anyone else on anything. I'm simply trying to understand. Your posts sound very bitter and angry (to me, an outsider).

The saddest thing would be if you don't ever end up regretting that comment.

So is it that you're hurting and therefore want to hurt others? Misery loves company? There must be some psychological explanation to explain what motivates you to return here to spray your venom on a board you claim to have left months ago.
This entire thread has done nothing but serve the devil. I feel a need to repent for my part in the contention.
I am sorry for whatever hurt you have experienced, either here or elsewhere in your life, that would elicit such a damning judgement against the struggling, imperfect people here on this forum. I hope that one day you can be healed of the bitterness that causes you to see fellow human beings, all of us loved by God, as enemies so deserving of your hatred.
You owe everyone here an apology. I doubt we'll ever get one. But I'll forgive you anyway, because I think that maybe you can't help it right now. May the Lord heal your angry heart, my brother.
Thanks, bok. That was a better response than I was coming up with. I couldn't even get worked up enough to be offended by that awful statement, it just made me kind of sad for him and made me wonder where that came from. Not a happy place, surely.

That is really the only reason he came back. For some reason Hoss feels the need to perpetuate personal attacks on a board he has left. Bitter indeed...
