Hi Neal/Aude,
Do you ramble and chatter just to hear yourself make noise -- or are you so lonely that you must write inane tripe just to be noticed?
My Friend, why not wait until you have something worthwhile to contribute to the discussion before jumping in with all four feet.
Y'all come back now, ya heah?
Bill
Sorry...that was a little harsh. Its an open forum and its called opinions. If you don't agree or you think that someone is just talking to talk...who cares! They are not hurting you...so don't hurt them with your words.
See...just my opinion. <--I might get a forum post back for my opinion now...which is fine!
Hi Shouting,
Actually, I would say that what I have written approaches the truth; rather than being harsh. Have you truly read most of what Neal has posted for the past three years? He seems to get more vehement and more nasty as each day passes.
Perhaps you have heard the story of the City Slicker who came to the Farmer to buy a mule. Farmer told him, "This mule is very gentle. You have to be gentle with him."
So, City Slicker pays for the mule and then starts to lead him away. Mule stands firmly and refuses to budge, no matter how hard City Slicker pulls on the rein.
Farmer walks over, picks up a 2X4 and hits Mule square on the forehead -- and Mule starts moving. City Slicker is aghast, "You told me to be gentle with the mule. Now, you hit him with a board!"
Farmer, matter of factly, replied, "Yep. But, first you have to get his attention."
Shouting, for three years I have been trying to get Neal's attention -- asking him, many times, if we can have civil dialogues without name calling and denigrating what others believe. Neal pays no attention and continues to cast his anger and hatred upon all who do not worship EXACTLY as he does.
So, I picked up my 2X4 and tried, once again, to get Neal's attention. I apologize to you if this offends you. However, we do need to to get his attention. It is one thing to have differences of opinion. It is quite another thing to attack another because he does not agree with your opinion. And, no, I am not attacking Neal -- only trying to get his attention.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
completely understand what you are saying, however, making comments the way you do is not the best approach on getting someones attention. I mean...really...you said "I picked up my 2x4 again"....really!?!?! How is that calm and attention getting? I personally just think that you come across extremely hard; which is not necessarily a bad thing but its not a good thing either.
Just understand that people do have opinions and thats ok. Make a point, stay calm, keep your hard core opinions to yourself, and do what you say you do...just pray.
Thats it.
