Do I think you can Administer fairly from your perspective? I'm not sure you do on the standards issue, since you asked. There is a difference in laying out your opinion and making it ALWAYS come across as taunting, critical and condescending. That is my impression of your words when you speak about the things you don't like about the UPC.
I haven't seen Renda ever do these things. She shares her opinion and tries to see both sides of the issue, for each person individually. I can respect that. I know she doesn't agree with said, "standards", but she doesn't use her words to make the ones carrying that said "standard" as ignorant.
As to your question on the Conservatives having the capacity to serve fairly - I don't think either side is more favored. I believe we should be compelled to state our opinions on any issue without ridiculing the other.
My best friend, who attends church with me, worships with me, is also used in the gifts and does not keep standards. She respects me and I respect her. We don't argue about these things. We both realize that we must EACH make a decision for how we feel we need to present ourselves to God. How we feel it is best for us. How we feel we are being lead. It should be that way for everyone on this Forum.

Pressing- Onry,
I am glad I misread your post and you were not referring to leaving. Howeve I am still at a loss to understand why you question if I can admin fairly because I have strong views and post them.
It sounds to me like you are saying that anyone who discusses standards in a way you don't approve of can't fairly admin.
I have been very surprised and disappointed that this is your opinion but it is what it is. The first time you have evidence that I have not carried out my admin duties in a fair and responsible way I will step down. Other than that I am not going to be run off because someone is offended at my views.
Despite our differences of opinion I always felt there was a lot of mutual respect between us but obviously things have beeen eating at your craw for some time and you have decided to unload on me and in a manner I think is unfair.
It is one thing to dislike my posts, etc but an entire other thing to question my integrity as an admin. I don't mean this from a rules standpoint either I mean from the standpoint of how long you have been with me on these forums and the many times I have attempted to be a peacemaker when things got rough.
I had a feeling this would happen though. That all of those, conservatives included, who always talked about how good of an admin I would be would turn on me if it ever actually happened. Prophecy fulfilled.
