For me, what constitutes a “true Chrisitan” is someone behaving in the manner that Christ taught. Like **Scotticher** , for example. \*\* Careful, **Poly** , you don’t want to get too close to the “no true **Scotticher** ” fallacy. 😃 ---

Oh, before anyone flames me: I was born in Du Quoin, about as downstate as you can get without actually moving to Kentucky. So I can rag on downstate Illinoisians all I want. And no, I don’t know anyone from Du Quoin who is or was a Nazi. ---

I’m at work and we have a filter so we can’t go to porn or games websites. It won’t let me on that site. Hmmm… ---

Should we be linking to them? After all, didn’t something similar start a Board War with SF? Or am I remembering wrong? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ivylass \* > \*\*Should we be linking to them? After all, didn’t something similar start a Board War with SF? Or am I remembering wrong? \*\* We did get into a board war with the Left Behind Message Board when some of the dimmer bulbs here began to troll over there. They got traced back here, and they did unto as as we’d done unto them. As long as we don’t troll on their boards, we should be just fine linking to them. ---
