awareness asks "what do you expect?" I expect common civility to start with. That's the bare minimum and you rarely even make it to that minimum. Harold is usually above this minimum but is constantly poking around to see what he can get away with. It becomes real old and tiresome for a moderator to have to worry about what you guys are going to say next.
If you want to engage Local Churchers (current or ex) I suggest you do so over on the Bereans forum. I don't think they even moderate the LC forum thread over there so you guys can get your jollies - insult, belittle, patronize and flame to your little hearts desire. And of course there's the extra bonus of being able to whine and cry about being moderated over here.
I'm keeping the thread open if you want to be civil and engage others in good faith. Anything else that is posted will be deleted.

I asserted that you had committed a logical fallacy in the post of yours I quoted. The idea that logical analysis is "smartass" is new to me. Please explain how you would like me to handle fallacious arguments when I see them.
I assure you, that I am utterly ingenuous when it comes to this forum. I did make several personal characterizations when I returned to this site recently. I confess that it was probably resentment that I misdirected at a couple of the regulars here. I have apologized to them personally via messaging. I usually try to avoid getting personal as much as possible and you can count on that from me from now on. Ohio did feel I was patronizing him, but that was never my intent. One poster accepted my apology another said it was unnecessary. I hope that you will be as gracious toward me as they were. I support your aim of maintaining civility here.
