No, but I am limiting my interactions with some users. And I am trying to be more humble and cooperative.
I also think there is a difference between the way that people emphasize things wtih sarcasm and the way that someone is rude in another context.
How about you?
Well. I would, some posters are just not worth it . _ .

You think there are people here who want or need you to forgive them or who want or need to forgive you for something?
If some dude insults you publicly and tries to shame you, hasn't he done you wrong?
HE HAS!
And he should desire to be forgiven because that is not good behavior.
Holy mackeral, why is this like a thing I am explaining.

Originally posted by @philokaliaInsults me? On a message board like this? No, it's water off a duck's back ~ and I don't think he has 'done me wrong'. People should say what they think, like you are. It's interesting.

This all goes well with the Christian concept that we are often misbehaving And even if we are not misbehaving, we are sometimes inadequate or misreading a situation and not properly being there for someone.
I knew a guy who killed himself. We were buddies -- I saw him six or seven hours before he took the plunge, and we both literally said "Oh man, we should hang out more!"
The guy broke up with his fiancee and I was never really near enough to him to help him and I have felt, to some degree, inadequate, and like I should have done something more...
I think it's human and perhaps even beautiful that we wish we were ebtter than we are and that we would have been able to transcend human limitation. Now cue the guy who will say "zomg that's just terrible, Christianity preaches such shame!"
As I close my eyes and sigh lightly, realizing It Is A Beautiful World And I Am Not Afraid To die.

You’re misrepresenting my position. I’m not “hoping” that happens. It just will.

Originally posted by @philokaliaI don't think you're making much sense, to be honest, or being very realistic. Are you really talking about stuff that people type on this message board? Who needs to ask for forgiveness? Who needs to forgive? What are you on about?
