When this occurred there were TWO bannings - that showed NO FAVORITISM.

I wasn't at all alluding to any bannings.

I was only referring to some of the points PP was mentioning.
I and others see it as well.

I and others see it a bit differently, Ron.

Which proves my point.

Perception is greater than reality, because it IS reality.

So, it appears we're on the horns of a dilemma.

Respectfully, I will have to disagree with you.
I can prove it.

Ron, we don't want to go there, for two reasons:

For every person who supports your perception, I have at least one who supports mine.

And, second, what would it solve?

Nothing, perceptions are still the same, no matter what.

So, again I ask, in your mind what's a fair solution to this?

**************Forum Rules*********************************
This discussion board is for Apostolic Pentecostal Christians who believe that the Bible, in its entirety, is the Word of God, is without error, and that it is completely relevant today. We welcome and encourage visitors of other faiths to post and ask sincere questions in their honest search to learn more of our faith and about our wonderful Lord, Savior, and God whose name is Jesus Christ. We do not, however, give place for the tearing down, the disputing of, or destruction of, Apostolic doctrine, the Apostolic ministry, or the Christian faith in any form. The propagation of any doctrine that is contrary to the Apostolic doctrine is not welcome here.

We do not allow any rebuking, hatefulness, name calling, or verbal attacks by any person or group of people, toward any person or group of people. Content that is unseemly, using bad language, or any form of insinuating bad language (i.e. one letter and ****), or offensive slang, is not permitted.

This administration knows that God's Word allows for rebuking and correction under certain conditions, but because of the lack of understanding by some, as well as the differing views by a multitude of readers here, and for the sake of peace, we will not permit it under any circumstances.



Attitudes
Given this is an active forum, and we many times have heated discussions on various subjects, Admin will continually moderate the attitudes of the posts that are presented on AFF. As a rule of thumb...

* Organizations can be discussed but not assaulted.
* Posters can have disagreements but not bloodbaths.
* Apostolic truth can be questioned but not be mocked.
* Doctrinal absolutes can be queried but not criticized.
* Admin can be contacted privately but not called out openly.
* Standards can be debated but not minimized and disrespected.
* Posts can be diametrically opposed but not diabolically attacking.
* Concerns can be expressed freely but not just hurled and unrestricted.

Because our goal is for AFF to be a place where Liberal, Moderate, and Conservatives can peacefully co-exist, Admin reserves the right to ban any member at any time should they agree that any member's posting style, general attitude, or overall presence is causing a disruption on the forum as a whole.

Furthermore, as the ultimate success of this forum depends on the ability of posters to respect others, each individual poster must conduct themselves within the boundaries of decency and tolerance towards the doctrinal convictions, religious standards, and/or particular fellowship of their fellow posters. Persons blatantly violating these boundaries of decency and respect will be subject to being banned.



Now I ask you politely Bro. has Dan A broke these rules--even today?

Yes!

If PP has done anything worthy of rebuke-for sure.
However, I am not sure PP was a little frustrated that perhaps people let it get out of hand in the first place.

Now back to the question at hand, has Dan broke the rules today?
