There's a fine line between not abusing people and cheerleading for those who do.
The anonymity of the Internet prompts some people to post things that they would never dare to say to the person in real life. For myself, I never post anything that I wouldn't say to your face. (In fact, I might be even tougher on you if others weren't listening. )
It's sad that so many professing "Christians" don't understand "By their fruits ye shall know them."
quote:
Joh 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
That's why we need the moderators - to cast the unproductive branches into the fire.

One doesn't have to agree in the least with what a family member does in order to stand by them no matter what.
Nor does one have to stand by and do nothing when somebody is being abused. Your family members are the first ones that you should be correcting.

If the 'we' would only come out in support of you then you might have a case.
Do I count as part of "we"? If so, I agree completely with jar and schraf.
The creos certainly do get a free ride around here, and on more than one occaision I've considered leaving because of it. I only stay because some people seem to like what I have to say - I don't stay for the abuse.
I have been "spoken to" on one or two occaisions by the admins, but I take the (apparently unprecedented) attitude of trying to learn something from it. The creo attitude to correction is almost invariably to shove the stick even farther up their asses and scream "BIAS!"
You have been challenged to give a link to even one creo-administered site that is as even-handed as this one. Unless you can do that, you're just spouting empty words.

I for one read and learn from almost every one of your posts.
Ditto. Just don't expect a pat on the back every time I agree with you.
