Pretty soon, what started as an innocent thread becomes a battlefield, and it's usually the "one steppers vs. the three steppers" these days.

It's unfortunate, it never used to be this way..........something has changed.
That is my point, and what I'm saying is that it gets to the point where it is neither amusing, entertaining, fellowship, or friendly. However, I do believe that we could actually have all those things and that it would be beneficial to all of us if we did have that. AFF can really be an entertaining tool for connection that leads somewhere.


Oh yeah, and we're supposed to be Christ-like anyway.

I totally agree, and I'm holding out hope that we'll get past this particular season of conflict and things will get back to "normal", lol.
