I think that for a lot of people (myself included), there was an over-obsession with specific attacks on beliefs, so much that it permeated nearly every thread in spirit and in content.
True to the name of this forum, I come seeking and expecting Apostolic friendship, and in the "Fellowship Hall", Apostolic fellowship even if I don't agree with every detail that someone else agrees with.
I do recognize that there is a time and place to discuss disagreements (after all there is an entire room dedicated to Debates), and at times it is interesting to watch and participate.
I just pray that the entire nature and culture of the entire forum does not become liberal vs. conservative, ex-UPC or other org vs. current members because that does become very old and in my humble opinion flies in the face of the stated purpose of the forum.
