Brother David,
You are casting doubt on all the members of that forum, you are throwing mud on every single member by repeating this.
Is that any more Christ-like than those who, you claim, made crude jokes?

If you think someone is in the wrong, be the better man. Do the right thing.

To answer your "mud" allegation I would only need to observe that I too am a member of that forum and not likely to "sling mud" upon myself. Also, there are at least two other members who post both there and here at AFF who announced they are leaving "there" due to the tone the place has taken.
To answer your "slander" accusation I offer the thread in question in it's entirety to anyone who PMs me. I'll send it via email to avoid the informal "cross posting" rule that is sometimes enforced here. To avoid mistakenly identifying you with my own views on the matter I will not discuss who gets an email.
To answer your "gossip" charge I need only to remind you of the way in which AFF and those who post here are "flamed" over there. I feel that the best way to handle such offense is to simply make more information more available to all.
I was falsely accused on this forum recently and responded by changing my screen name to my real name and to openly discuss who I was. That move toward a public identity immediately stopped the accusations and even prompted the pastor of the offender to come onto the forum and apologize and explain the misunderstanding.
There's nothing wrong with shining a little light on these matters. Is there?
