Are PM's really private?

Well, maybe there are not enough of those!

I wouldn't stand for that, not for an instant. No way. 

Unless there's another pie poll. That would be different!

Well, thank you for that, but the people of our community have much more effect on the atmosphere of the site than the moderation team does. We put out some fires, maybe accidentally fan them at times, but the members here are mostly responsible to the culture which had developed.

People have many different opinions, God made each of us differently, and we all come from different backgrounds and experiences. Much of what we experience on these forums, are the result of where we choose to spend our time here. Some people do not like the atmosphere, they think there is too much arguing and fighting. How would they know that? They know because they spend time in those areas that are contentious. Do they feel anxiety personally? They probably do if they spend time in topics to which they have great emotional attachment.

There are areas for prayer, praise, poetry, games, humor, clubs to join and other things that are not so challenging. People produce the atmosphere, but individuals choose their experiences, based on the sections of the forums they choose to inhabit.

This site affords me areas that are relaxing and fun.  There are some sites out there that are all 'sturm and drang'.  They don't allow any room for humor and fellowship.  That isn't the case here.

It is funny you should mention that, I was thinking about that, or perhaps a pizza poll!

I did not notice the believeinHim had called you into the PM. I apologize for anything I said that was not kind or appropriate Omega. But I do think that George needs more servants. This is a big messageboard and you are the only servant? And George if often not around. How do you think this could be remedied?

It's okay missmuffet, I understand it is basically a misunderstanding more than anything, and I get that I have not done things the way you would have preferred, and I accept I might not be as good at my 'job' as I could be. I agree we need more servants, we are spread pretty thin here. I think that George is not often around, as he has so many other things to attend to, the ministries online, family, he even raises most of the money that keeps these things going, frankly, I am amazed that he can maintain his health, that is a lot on his shoulders.

Hopefully the situation will change soon, some wheels may already be turning in that direction, and maybe this event will help to catalyze changes. Georges' standards are (righfully) pretty high, we'll have to what as see what it is that God is going to do.

Thank you for replying in this, your thread, and I do want to know what you would like done with it. I think it might be winding down from the initial energy, and we are seeing it go a bit off topic, with a little more light-heartedness. We could close it, as having run it's course and going off topic. We can close it just because you prefer that to happen, or we can let it go, and make those decisions later, if need be. That is why I have asked you, what you would like to do, it is your thread!

Go organic. Use a grapefruit rind.
