First Dan, now Thad, who's next?

However, you can not deny that some posters add some "spice" and "life" to this forum. Some people just know how to keep discussion going. Dan was banned and Thad is leaving, somewhat "voluntarily." I will not address the issue with Dan because I do not know the particulars of the situation and it is an admin decision. Done. However, with Thad, you can not deny that he put some life and discussion in this forum. We'll see if someone else "picks up the ball" but you can not deny their "uniqueness" to this forum. If I were to leave...big whoop. Just some people have "it."

When Thaddy came back this last time, someone said, "He's good for business."

Don't always agree with him, and he would be the first to tell you that, but I admit that Thad is good for business...

THad is NOT just good for business. There is more value in individuals other than your entertainment value. How many of you ever talked to Thad personally in private? What will you miss more? His friendship or the "Thad" that CP posts about here?

That it was his posting style that made this forum. That sounds pretty shallow to me, and you all are jumping on my posts? I wonder how many of you even give a hoot about Thad if it were not for his tell all threads? Is that all you guys care about?

WHAT IF THAD WAS NOT THE POSTER THAT HE WAS? WOULD YOU STILL CARE OF HIS LEAVING? CAN YOU ACCEPT A "Thad" that has changed and not post the stuff he did anymore? What is the basis of your "love" for Thad? And while you are contemplating that...have a blessed new year

Well, I consider "Thad" a friend, and looking back at who all has posted on this thread, I think the majority of us have probably talked to "Thad" in person. I think I already stated that he is not completely gone, just the "Thad" incarnation, so I think it's clear that I am glad about that. I'm sorry, what exactly was your point?

Take a chill pill, Prax...who is jumping on your posts?!

Certainly not me...I quoted a comment from a while back and agreed with it...period.

I couldn't care less for his "tell all threads" and rarely visit the Tab...

And a blessed New Year to YOU!!

your personal gruge/vendetta/bitterness (not sure what word to use) against Thad is evident.

Like I said, you're like the guys who say Tulsa is nothing more than a 'get together' even though they have now sent out mailers with their council on it!
They're ignoring the obvious.

That's what you're doing. Thad is a BIG part of AFF. To act like he's no big deal is silly. But go ahead, believe what you want.
SoCali, myself and others will believe the facts........Thad IS/was important to this forum.

I must say the attitude of your posts have not been above board. You say mean and rude things and then say ..."You took me serious?"

We're all on here for the deep water threads and you arguing with everyone.

Where have you been...you are really way off base! Thad was definately good for business and will be missed! Sad really. Just doesn't have the same appeal as it used to.

Just for your information....The person who is Thad is a very good friend of mine. Our friendship exists if there was a forum or not. I am honored to call him FRIEND!

To answer another question...we will see if the forum continues to be thriving and lively (as you state it will continue to be so) in his absense. I will be the first to admit I am wrong if it is the same.

You are so right.
Too much ado over person(s) the LORD said that we should DECREASE, so that He may INCREASE., we are to strive to work behind the scenes so to speak, to help build up the KINGDOM, not ego's..There is already too much of a gossip 'wave' (business) in "the world" without luring those type spirits into an allegedly "christian" forum., I see no clues of a christian spirit within exploitations of other 'christians' or org's,struggling to stay afloat., and many people here and elsewheres I've heard, contribute to this., not naming names either.
