I do not believe I am confrontational. What I am is direct, I say what I mean and I mean what I say. If someone is saying something I do believe to be false, I will call them on it and see if they can support their comments, just as I would hope they would do with me. Their is nothing gained by being indirect or even worse passive aggressive. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5 to "let our yes be yes and our no be no". And while He was speaking of oaths, I think it is a good general rule for all things in life. Do you find my example above about dealing with a fellow member of the forum to be confrontational?

I disagree. I think this is a good way to ask other members how to deal with this kind of person. How to deal with it, is to follow mathew 5:18. And go to the person who is aggrevating you, and discuss it with them in private. That is the scriptural approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Shadows I have confronted you just like you have asked. This is the usual answer I get. It is denial,prideful and haughty answers. So what is the point?

You made a generic statement about me being "confrontational", to which I replied that I do not feel I am. If you could provide some actual examples it would be helpful. Would you be willing to expound on what you found about my post that was confrontational? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
