But I can make the distinction between the individual and his ideas. Although I'm sure FMF can find something I said that he can use to contradict that. 😉
Either way, if I were to meet you in person I would not want a confrontation to occur that goes beyond the simple comparison of ideas and beliefs. Maybe we could go fishing instead of fighting. 🙂
I'm all for opening a can of worms, stirring up the pot and turning over stones, but I don't enjoy having my character assassinated or being told what I mean by what I say. I can be wrong, and I don't always know what I'm talking about. I've learned that here in many instances.
Over all I appreciate this forum for what it is, and I hope I don't ever become so embittered by some of the contention that I choose to ever leave.
Most of all, I hope I never embarrass myself so badly that I have to slink away in shame. Although I think I'm always on the edge. 😉
I'm depending on you all, so don't let me down. 🙂

Jesus knows who are his enemies, and who are His friends. I think after all is done, when we go off into eternity, we will be surprised to see some we thought wouldn't make it, and others we thought would but didn't.
I don't even know you. I see and read the stuff you post, and I simply react to it, as I see it appears to be, to the best of my ability. I'm not God, so it's not perfect.

Maybe we can learn something from each other.
Being perfect is so yesterday. These days my sole focus is on world domination.
