It seems the issue concerning civility and brotherly love concerning posts on the forum has been adequately addressed. I would like to address a perspective about posts.
It seems the purpose of our reading and posting is to learn, share, and grow. It is my purpose. If the purpose becomes a place just to expound ones own beliefs this violates the idea of a forum and becomes more of a podium. It is not that individual beliefs should not be shared but when the posts become repetitious by repeating the same point of view after the posting of every contrary view, the forum takes on the atmosphere of a debate of opposing points of view. Thus, becoming somewhat threatening.
We should all work on making posts shorter, at least I do. Long post with an abundance of documentation or references are less likely to be thoroughly read. Every post need not be comprehensive or filled with references.
After reading the topic “HOW SHOULD THE FORUM BE RUN” this post did not fit the subject nor does it really fit here.
