I appreciate the support, sis.But I'm not worried about it.

This whole thread was started up primarily because of a disagreement Mark and I had on another thread . If you were to look at that initial disagreement [over an Obama story in the news] you'd never think anyone would think to try to escalate things beyond that point. But this man decided to start up a new thread and chose to bad-mouth me over and over as a result of that. I couldn't believe this man would just be verbally hacking at me over some foolishness. Personally I find that kind of behavior disgraceful, especially coming from anyone professing Christ.

There's a part of him that wanted to come back at him with both guns blazing, because I'd had it up to here with his mess. If I had said that night what I really felt like saying, his feelings would have really been hurt.
But I don't think that would have really helped. That would have just ended up adding gasoline to the fire. So sometimes you just have to bite your tongue a little, and do whatever to just put the fire out, which is what I chose to do. Like they say... let the Lord fight your battles.

It's just strange to me though how some people find this man's antics to be cute and/or amusing. To me, they're not cute at all. So I appreciate you stepping up and saying what you said there, sister. Bless you.
However, at this point, I don't want an apology from him. An apology has little value to me at this point. Sad to say, whatever level of respect I had for the man has greatly diminished. But at the end of the day... I'm not going to allow strangers on the internet to vex my spirit. I'm just going to have to learn to ignore certain people on AFF, that's all.

Bro France, in spite of your vicious attacks on me, I still love you. I am glad I decided to step away from the forum after reading this. My first initial response was to attack back, but I'm not going to do that. If you want to Hate, ignore me, whatever, you'll have to answer to God for that.I'm not going to be a vengeful, hateful person. I love you Brother and bless you in Jesus Name!

Thank you again, Sis. Cindy. I'm glad there's someone speaking up.

I have tried to take the high road, instead of fighting fire with fire. As I said in that previous post, I've tried to respond with restraint, and not with anger, even when I feel he's said some unfair things toward me and about me.

I have sought not to be confrontational with this man, and you can see the response I'm getting.

He's implying that I "hate" him (I'm not sure how much he believes that.. but anyway),which is kinda baffling to me, because Lord knows that if I hated him there's some stuff I would have said to and about him, which I just haven't... because it's not even worth the emotional energy to me to hate some stranger on the internet that I've never met and will never meet.

I have said though, that I think he's behaved poorly, and my respect level for him has diminished. I still feel the same way. That's not an "attack"; that's not "hatred". That's just speaking frankly as I see it. But anyway, I don't think there's more I need to keep saying on this. I've applied Romans 12:18 already; the rest is out of my hands. My conscience is clear before God. I like letting the Lord fight my battles anyway

But you can see for yourself why I feel it is best to ignore the man.

Yes you can win, by stopping. Think about the good times instead of arguing.

Bro France, somehow I've obviously hit a nerve with you. There's something that goes a lot deeper here. I can talk directly to you and not thru a 3rd party because I don't have hate in my heart. As i said, If you want to hold a grudge against me and ignore that is on you. You just pray on it and ask the Lord how he views that. I still love you and have no vile in my heart towards you even if you do not recipricate the same.

Cindy, if you want to take sides and get in the middle of this, I have no way of stopping you. I feel I have done my part. You feel otherwise and that is your perogative to feel that way
