A Few Thoughts on Forum Conflict

[mar09]

I think it's all the low carb craze that has gotten very popular these past few years. I think low carb diets make people less friendly... or maybe it's the lack of cake.

Maybe it is, zt... and maybe if one hasnt as much time to read all and react, there might be less conflict too?? There doesnt seem much at the Prayer forum=).

...... is this about me?

Hehe.

I sort of wondered this at first here when people would complain about the new people wrecking things around here.

I do see some folks that are a bit hostile here, usually in the “I’m right about everything” variety, or even worse a standpoint of being in judgement over everyone. They don’t seem to stick around for long or be very active though.

I agree with Lynx about the nature of discussion these days. A lot of outrage and a lot of destroying whoever disagrees. The person doesn’t have a difference of opinion, they are pure evil. It’s like people salivate over it. I’m not too surprised that mindset migrated here.

There does seem to be a pretty good crowd here despite that. I do wish wish this place was busier at times. I find myself migrating around to other forums occasionally.

Just an observance of the last 10 or 15 years. The world as a whole has gotten more argumentative. Polarized going one way or the other and at each others throats. We can see it mainly in the political parties.

Also I've noticed that religion as a whole is also being polarized in that where most every protestant church were against Catholics (as in the teachings of that church)many are now joining with the uniting ideas that forefathers of many denominations would roll over in their graves at the agreement and joining forces that are happening now. 15 years ago I never heard anyone say that the 10 commandments were nailed to the cross when Jesus died. I also never heard so many arguments on works vs faith either.

I think it is just the signs that God's Holy Spirit is being withdrawn from a world that doesn't want to believe and we are seeing the results in peoples actions as a whole

At lease it's what I have observed.

I would love to see even in myself more in action of being like Jesus and treating people with love and respect that we all deserve you know what we were taught we should do as in Love the Lord with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.

I love the Lord with all of my heart and I love you the same way too.

I totally disagree with everything everyone has stated. Kidding of course, I just wanted to say
something.

That was mean and hateful to say such a thing, just kidding of course. I have always enjoyed myself and the company since I joined the site 5 years ago. Great group of peeps. Some have left, some have stayed and new peeps have joined in on the conversation. I love this site and place a great value on some of the peeps that I have gotten to know and who know me too.

I agree with less than half of you, half as much as I should; and I disagree with less than half of you, half as well as you deserve!
