I just got a PM from a frustrated member.

I clearly said I would provide a link to it. Which means I know it is off-topic from this particular thread. I'll place it somewhere else.

Don't start the bad practice of saying, 'I'm getting PM's from other forum members'. You'll get a bad reaction from me on that bad practice. If someone is offended with what I am saying, tell them to tell me directly (PM or on-line). What you do when you 'pass it on' without names is wrong.

If you don't like what I am saying, then just conclude that I've lost my marbles. We both know that I haven't. I'm just presenting an extreme view which just might hold truth and be part of the root cause for much of the spiritual abuse in the LC.

Matt, I always knew you as one very considerate of posters' views and feelings, but now you call this comment "bad practice," and dismiss the comment completely. Of course, direct communication is the best, but how much more "direct" can I be? I have been pleading with you on nearly every post, while still struggling to maintain my kind-hearted respect for you and your views? I'm at a loss here.
