Well, like I said before, I use negative reputations for blatantly ignorant, apathetic, and wrong attitudes, not willing to objectively look at evidence, etc.

To me that is being petty, vindictive and judgemental.
At least for the "blatantly ignorant, and apathetic"
people you should have compassion.
Who is to judge what a wrong attitude is, and if one
discards anothers beliefs and claims, why would you
assume they have not looked objectively at something?
Perhaps they have, and have not come to the same
conclusions as you.
I would still appreciate if one of the mods could come
and explain the proper use of "reputation"....

I'm not surprised at your anger towards me; but I don't appreciate the attacks.
my reply:
As I said I was having a bad day...the second part I'm not attacking you pesonally I'm disagreeing with some of the things you say is all.
Goy said:
I mind you lying about me, and I don't have to say who's leaving comments, as I'm sure that you get that I'm the only person who leaves them.
my Reply:
calling someone a liar and not stating what they "lied" about is not only cowardly but slanderous so please clarify and I'll respond...as for leaving comments...90 per cent are yours...the other 10% are constructive and in no way conforntational...even those from folks who don't agree with my POV.
Don't expect everyone to role over and say "Oh Great Goy we are humbled in your prescenc thou who know everything about God" AS IF...your barely in your twenties and you figure you know it all...as you get older in years and in the Lord you'll find you know bupkis about God but hopefully the arrogance of youth will leave you and you'll be open to hear what God has to say to you...but right now you aren't listening.
For the sake of allowing forum users to engage in dialogue instead of argument, I'm going to request that this issue be taken private, either via PM or email. I make the same request regarding anyone else who is having issues with Goy, or vice versa.
If some of the forum users can't begin getting back to discussing topics -- instead of fighting -- then I will simply decide not to approve their posts. I think that's only fair to those who are more interested in respectful dialogue (even between those who disagree) than strife and name-calling.
I try not to name call, but call out someone for who they are and what they're doing. Many times I try to handle it in private through reputation ratings and other ways. I believe in what Scripture says I should do.
