But, I guess it might be hard to be that courageous for the people he is laying into. Hope this isn't too critical.

You're post isn't too critical, it's irresponsible. Sister, either you didn't read the whole thread, or you didn't read it close, because I stated at least a couple of times that I did call him out on it... that's very obvious in what I've said. Loving him or calling him out isn't an either or... it actually can be a both.... that's where he doesn't understand that and apparently you don't either.
As far as this forum... again, you didn't read what I wrote close enough, so I'll break it down again for you. With all due respect Sister, I never said that people couldn't be nasty, argumentative, and even vile about it. The difference of this forum and the church service is that people come to internet forum's for dialogue and discussion, and the possibility of nastiness and vitriole are possibilities that anyone with a clue knows happens in internet forums. They'd have to be totally naive to the very nature of internet forums if they don't think there's gonna be someone pulling inappropriate punches every now and then in them. They come to these forums, unless they are absolutely naive and live under a rock, ready for it.
But I would assert very few go to a church service on a Thursday night just trying to support thier church and do what's right and expect a little scrawny preacher that is visiting to get up and lay into them when he was just asked to testify and greet them. Surely, you can see the difference? I mean, isn't it obvious?
And yes, I don't really appreciate your post, because I can't see if you have read my posts thoroughly how you could ever come to the conclusion you did in your reply. Just doesn't make sense to me.
SideNote: NUMBER ONE PET PEEVE IN INTERNET FORUMS!!!! People not reading posts thoroughly and then decide to post something off based!!!
