We don't use that big red font, and please calm down. Steffan is "admin", Snoopy. If I edit a post it says "Synthian"

Your insults and threats aren't really necessary, but thank you, and yes although not perfect we do try to be accountable in how we moderate and post.

Ian,

Honestly, you people are DISGUSTING! You claim that you “try to be accountable in how [you] moderate and post.” Well, then, why did this low life, Steffan, take my posts from Advent Talk and other forums, pick what was convenient to him, twist the rest, and then insult me “in absentia”? You make such a big deal of your “Christian behavior” as opposed to those, that is, us, who behave in a rude and unchristian manner. Is this your example of “Christian behavior”?


Eduard

Edward, "3ABNTalk Christian behavior" could form an oxymoron. For Grandma who likes to consult the dictionary:

An oxymoron (plural oxymorons or, more rarely, oxymora) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. Oxymoron is a loanword from Greek oxy ("sharp" or "pointed") and moros ("dull"). Thus the word oxymoron is itself an oxymoron.

Oxymorons are a proper subset of the expressions called contradictions in terms. What distinguishes oxymorons from other paradoxes and contradictions is that they are used intentionally, for rhetorical effect, and the contradiction is only apparent, as the combination of terms provides a novel expression of some concept, such as "cruel to be kind" or "team of mavericks".

The most common form of oxymoron involves an adjective-noun combination. For example, the following line from Tennyson's Idylls of the King contains two oxymorons:

"And faith unfaithful kept him falsely true"
Oxymorons can also be wooden irons in that they are in violation of the Principle of contradiction which asserts that nothing can be thought if it contains contradictory characteristics, predicates, attributes, or qualities.

I think most of us who have read 3ABNTalk can agree that "Christian behavior" is not an apt discription for what occurs on that forum.

Has Gerald Duffy sent 3ABNtalk a cease and desist letter, threatening a lawsuit if they didn't turn over the domain name posthaste? A letter that says at the top, "This letter is protected by common law copyright"?

I wish all you guys could stop playing games and being so disrespectful to each other on here.

This is another reason why I vacated the administration of Advent Talk.

I find this so disgusting.

[princessdi]

Now, I am purely asking this as a rhetorical question, and to express some confusion.

I did notice even at BSDA that both "sides" had absolutely no problem asking and expecting answers to questions then themselves would not answer. 

That said......Bob, who owns Adventtalk?

Nor is the 3abntalk forum "my forum"

Whose forum is it?

[Bob Pickle]

I think the owner wants it kept a secret for now.

[princessdi]

Exactly Bob!  So why are you asking who owns 3ABNTalk?  Don't ask questions you are not willing to answer yourself........they have the same right of annonymity as the owner of Adventtalk.   This is the type of common respect that has been missing through this entire sad saga.

[Snoopy]

Ian said that steffan is the administrator.

[Bob Pickle]

In this particular case, it hasn't been a secret who owned it, and it was even made a matter of court record.

I would say that people are free to ask whatever questions they want to, with the understanding that they might not get answered.

[Daryl Fawcett]

I was the owner/administrator of Advent Talk, but not completely in control of it, which is really the main reason why I let it all go to the next person, who is really in the same boat that I was.

After saying this, however, that even though I know who is in control and who is listed as the new owner/administrator, I will presently respect confidentiality and say nothing further.

[princessdi]

Ok...y'all killin' me here'......

[Bob Pickle]

Should someone call 911?

[Johann]

Should we return to the subject?

As we are approaching Christmas we are reminded of how Joseph "treated" Mary when it appeared like she had committed adultery. Back in 2004 I appealed to Danny to show the same spirit towards Linda as Joseph did towards Mary.

Now that Christmas comes again within a few days, I'd like to ask him if he would not consider at least treating Linda with kindness and stop trying to prevent her when she is asked to do something for the Lord?

[princessdi]

Hush Bob!!  LOL!!

Should someone call 911?

[princessdi]

You can ask, Johann, but I believe it is a futile attempt.  Especially, in the light in that camp not even acknowledging that they are engaged in such activity.  As long as they continue to lie and those who comply with their "wishes" continue to lie, you will get nowhere.

In this instance, we really do have to remember that God is in control, and when we treat each other in this manner we rarely think about the fact that we are mistreating another Child of God, and He really doesn't look favorable on those who do such things.  He says, "Vengance is mine'.  Linda is His child......He will handle it.
