Sounds good. **CJ** , what would you think of a GD thread, similar to the one **dreamer** started on living a Christian life, that addresses some of the points people have made with reference to **His4Ever** ’s apparent attitudes but in a non-confrontational way – inviting her and, say, **Joe** and **Jersey** to give their reactions but _with the explicit caveat that nobody is to “give place to anger”_ but simply work out our differing understandings of what proper behavior in such situations ought to be? I honestly think it could be very fruitful if handled right. ---

Sounds good to me. I’ve got an idea for a thread over there myself. CJ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ace0Spades \* > \*\*I think **Shodan** ’s comparison between posters’ pitting has merit; why is it we pit cluelessness with thrice the vehemence that we pit intentional malice? \*\* Because ignorance(cluelessness) can be remedied(fought, as the motto of the site says). Intentional malice can only be lamented. I agree some of the pile-ons get excessive, but everyone likes to have their say and it is their right to do so. Enjoy, Steven ---

Well done, **Shodan**. If nobody else noticed it, I did. ---

**Shodan** , I’m afraid I had to go back and look, but I agree with **minty green**. Very definitely, well done. CJ ---

Maybe it’s a different god though, his name seems to be Harper Collins, which doesn’t sound like a real intimidating god-name. But he speaks in a language called “new revised standard” that for some probably mystical reason looks just like English, surely proof of the divine. Actually, in this language, you couldn’t refer to Harper Collins as a “he” for some reason, so I hope I haven’t offended him…or it. Oh, Harper Collins, I beseech thee…I mean “ask you”…for forgiveness. ---

The thing I like best about **Shodan** ’s classy apology is that he offers it unreservedly. He doesnt prattle on about all the contributing factors that made him cause offense. He takes responsibility for his actions. Very nicely done. **H4E** - you could take notice and learn, IMHO. **Kirk** - let me welcome you back too, since this seems as good a place as any. I beg of you to take the advice given, to step away, breathe deeply, and consider - _selah_ - before you post in anger anywhere other than the Pit. I believe that if you do, you will find that you have a flood of supporters. There are many here who are not gay who strongly support your right to be left alone to love as you are. Cheers to you my friend. Mars ---
