Thank you, to my esteemed sister from the little state of Texas, (for which I and the Lord forgive you). I didn't mean to consign you to the Land of the missing....I just haven't seen you on here much lately. Come to think of it, maybe I haven't seen you becuz I haven't been here too much!
LOL! We are in the worst drought, here in Texas, in 50 years!!!!
I haven't been around much because I am trying to curb my Internet time. I really like that!
That was a refreshing prespective. Have you been LURKING in my brain? LOL

In any given group there will always be some really strong personalities. Ever go to a function (church or otherwise) where someone doesn't show up and the room just seems so much fresher as a result? And not referring to BO, although that TOO sometimes occurs.
Quite often there are people with whom, if we compared a check-list of beliefs, I would probably agree with 8-10 out of 10 points, yet I find myself thinking "common man, enough is enough" or "you don't need to be so 'gleeful' about this" when I read what they wrote.
(I am sure that I have even posted things in the past, where if I forgot I was the one to post it would be thinking "what a bozo!" upon reading it.)
I would think the GIANTS change power seasonally. Like Repubs and Dems, just changes out. Some voices louder at different times. I've been a long-time lurker. How does one "shout" on AFF? Many of people are hear asking questions and participating in "iron sharpening" which often presumes the form of a debate.
My question would be - When do we violate scripture in some of these discussions as per I Peter 4:15 "But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters (overseeing other's affairs, meddler)

Interesting question but to me the answer is easy.
If it is debate, then it is all good.
If it is discussing/debating an incident which is public knowledge on account of it being in the news (public newspaper or church press) then it is also fair game to talk about.
However, when someone comes on saying that THEY have personal knowledge -and then proceed to tell us how they have PROOF but then continually refuse to provide it, then I have a real problem with that.

I think it also extends further into anti-organizational bashing of any stripe. That goes beyond sound debate, scriptural exegesis, etc. JMO....

I'll have to think about that, although, I'm sure public knowledge appears to be acceptable - I just wonder why we would feel comfortable doing that on an open board. That still has the feel of "a busybody in other men's matters".
Everyone hug your AFF neighbor and sing along!
