Semi, I too realized there was no way I would ever change Bills mind about things. I got tired of fighting, so I PM'ed Bill and we called a truce. We agreed to disagree, and have been very civil to each other ever since. Bill IS a Christian, even if some folks don't think he displays Christian behavior sometimes. And you know what? The same could be said for every Christian on the planet.
I TRIED to call a truce with Jennifer, if you'll remember, and for your sake as well as in an effort to cut back on all the fighting. But she would have no part of it. So MY times of "not displaying Christian behavior" are usually in posts to Jennifer. Is it right? Well, yes and no. I will ALWAYS call BS where I see it, so there are times when I just HAVE to disagree with her.
Could I do it in a less confrontational way? Well, yes. But those times I TRIED, she came back at me with extreme nastiness, or refused to answer at all. I think others here can remember the times I have prefaced my remarks, "Jennifer, I'm not being snarky at all, but I do have an honest question".
So, although I am a Christian, I am also human, and just as susceptable to anger, or perhaps a better word would be annoyance, as any other human being. When one has TRIED, and continues to face snippy, snarky, insulting and often UNTRUE remarks, it tends to wear on one.
Thanks for asking about me - I think I'm feeling a little bit better. It's going to take a while, but concern from my friends helps.
