But you yourself quoted above the very reason for that dynamic to be gone ... NOT Dan or anyone else being "divisive."
It's plain as day that this forum was founded as a perversion of Jim Yohe's goals ... from Day One AFF was to give the illusion that "ole time pentecost"'s extra-biblical positions and mindsets were winning intellectually and by repartee with the help of censorship and coercion.
I never say "I told you so" but I had that one pegged from the very beginning.

Totally agree. The foundation was built on quick sand. What CC1 fails to realize was that this was the agenda from the beginning. Although he waxed nostalgic for a forum of old .... he perhaps was duped into thinking that FCF or NFCF would be cloned here. With these men at the helm it was a genetic impossibility.
What transpired, I believe, was when controversy hit and they could not keep the appearance of "openness"... and, boy, did it from many sides .... they had to bail. The pressure from their peers .... or the perceived pressure ... was too much. Remaining "Apostolic", based on their definition, was vital.
It would have been nice to keep this "balanced" dynamic but it was a farce from the get-go as you so aptly predicted and the events that played out in January proved it. Once AFF proved to be a liability ... they could not stay.
Thank God for Renda Craig who kept this thing afloat.
