Shall we tell you that people are going to stop being people and this site, or others, is going to become what it should be? That wouldn't be reality so what is the point of doing that? I agree that more civility is warranted; I don't agree that we can make other people respond the way we'd like them to. All any of us can do is police ourselves. OT, I like the coffee shop scenario where people throw buns and cakes at each other. Much better than bullets. I think you're worrying too much about this, Esther. I suggest catching the flying buns and cakes and having them for breakfast. We can't make an enemy of someone we have never met. It would be nice to see all people being kind to one another,see the fruit that the Holy Spirit has given us and see no false teaching but......I don't think that is going to happen in the world we live in now.

Even on a Christian message board sad to say Exactly. We can wish that things were better in that regard but, as I said, all we can do is control OURSELVES. Worrying about what others do is futile and produces nothing. The upside is, if enough of us DO police ourselves, the more civil arena may just come about on it's own.

I mean, I never even heard the word associated that way before I read this thread. And for some reason, I don't think that I would care to be labeled a "Flamer" even if it was not a bad label. It just doesn't sound like a good thing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthy is a Christian message board so you are going to see less verbal abuse than you see on a secular message board. I dunno. I've seen some real ugliness in the name of Christianity. No surprise... people have shed blood for what they believe is true. But here, I agree with MG, the mods do a superb job of keeping things cordial here.
