A person would indeed have to be completely self absorbed not to have been aware of the avalanche of abhorrence dumped into this forum by that unspeakable character.
If you are serious about saying I am hypocritical about not knowing all the latest gossip going on about posters you guys didn't like, go find the threads and ...
EXAMINE how much I contributed to those discussions.
@sonship saidWhat is being said is that your claims of not noticing the content of Romans1009’s posts over a period of several months is a thinly disguised blatant lie.

@sonship saidI said you were self-absorbed, not hypocritical. (If you did indeed miss the prolonged unpleasantness Romans brought to this forum).

Do 'you' think you have been hypocritical? If not, why did that word come into your thinking?
@fmf saidAnd that's an underestimate.
How could you have possibly missed the thousands of posts spread across almost all threads? It wasn't an "incident". It was February to October.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou must have been dreaming about his posts as well then.
And that's an underestimate.

Perhaps this will come as a surprise or shock to you.
Discussions which are " unpleasant " to me for a long period of time ... I tend to NOT read and NOT participate in.
Subsequently, you won't find me active in some prolonged unpleasant exchanges if I have other constructive exchanges I would rather spend my time on.
Would you like to offer some solid evidence that SURELY I must have known that poster Romans1009 has been banned?
There are a number of posters that if I look around they are scarce in participation. I don't always know why, or CARE.
Haven't seen a few posters in awhile. I don't know if they were banned. Let me list some of the posters that I notice are scarce.
Rajk999, Twhitehead, RJhinds, VoidSpirit, Romans1009, Grampy Bobby, Dasa to mention a few off the top of my head.
(I think I may have known Dasa was band from the Forum).
Do I know the particulars of their non-involvement all the time? No.
I hear rumors sometimes. I don't pay attention to rumors like this overmuch.
Do you want me to LIE to you and say that I knew all about the specifics of Romans1009's recent absence here?
I said you were self-absorbed, not hypocritical. (If you did indeed miss the prolonged unpleasantness Romans brought to this forum).
Hmmm. You mean like all your words here are perfumed and pleasant ?
You're right. What a waste of time for us to be talking too much about ourselves, when we could be talking about the glorious Son of God - Jesus Christ.
I'd like to get more people aborbed with the Lord Jesus.
We all need to look AWAY to Jesus.

@sonship saidWhat you're claiming, that you had completely no idea what the nature of Romans1009's posts was, would be like someone posting here for 8-9 months this yèar on hundreds of threads, and yet having completely no idea what the nature of your posts was or what the nature of my posts was.
I wish you would learn to stop lying to yourself.
@fmf saidOn more than one occasion he would respond to Romans in a given thread on a point he agreed with, while ignoring the vile posts he had made to other posters 'in the very same thread.'

No sonship, I can't link you to exactly where you did this. I can only tell you that I was repulsed at the time when you did this.
What you're claiming, that you had completely no idea what the nature of Romans1009's posts was,
No, that is what you say I am claiming.
I claimed to have no knowledge of the banning incident whatsoever.
I wrote above that I was familiar with his style of being "combative". Now go back and read it and cut and paste it if you wish.
If you are saying I should not have said "WHATSOEVER" ... I disagree. That he was banned, that he spoke of child abuse, that it reminded you of something about some sacrilege done in a bottle, that the moderators possibly yanked his account and that THAT is the reason he posts here no longer --- I knew nothing about whatsoever.
I did know he could be combative.
And I recall wanting to send him a PM or possibly I did so.
About what, I cannot recall.
I try to be an EXAMPLE of posting for a Christian. I try. Sometimes I fail.
I try to lead by example. I don't think it is my responsibility to condemn specifically each Christian here whose posts don't come up to my standard.
And I sure don't think its my mandate to take aside and scold every Christian whose posts don't come up to YOUR standard.
None would or ever could anyway, probably.
