It’s clear to me, at any rate, that you see through the FV fakes.<BR/><BR/>But Pastor Lane has clearly defined the boundaries of his blog — he wants the content academic and the tone respectful. Unlike you, I can’t compete at an academic level and I wouldn’t try. However, I can show restraint and treat the FVists with respect on Pastor Lane’s blog, pursuant to his ground rules. I agree with you that the FVists know no rules and that they are duplicitous every step of the way, but that’s not a license for either of us to disrespect Pastor Lane. It’s a cause for him to pursue in his time, without me interfering.<BR/><BR/>I suppose my point here is to encourage you to stay within the rules, and, better yet, consider starting your own blog. I think that if you concentrated on 600 words per day in one well-thought essay, instead of 45 words every 12 minutes, you would be much more effective. You have colorful metaphors, good analogies, and excellent points. Moreover, you can pull Calvin out of your hat faster than anyone I’ve ever seen. <BR/><BR/>Just my two cents, if they make sense.Mark T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673762599798493263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097408555576085021.post-38569863769674371592007-12-23T16:39:00.000-08:002007-12-23T16:39:00.000-08:00I know, just when it gets interesting people start...I know, just when it gets interesting people start to get slapped on the wrist. There's order and diplomacy, and there's lukewarmness. Though having moderated forums before, and being the ultimate anything-goes moderator, I know how people will exploit the freedoms to mess the environment up if they see things they don't want to be made public, and so rules have to be applied and effective for all sides. So, I guess I have to say I respect the job they have and do. I'll probably post this over there so they know I know I'm walking a razor's edge... <BR/><BR/>Seth Foster, whoever he is, has written some good comments over there...S. A.

He’ll probably prevail because the thread is now off point, but the best thing the Reformed church could do for itself is identify Christ Church, Moscow, as a cult.Mark T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673762599798493263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097408555576085021.post-14217047511651861652007-12-23T15:33:00.000-08:002007-12-23T15:33:00.000-08:00Look at this too.
