As has been told to me before. The spike in readership grows when there is controversy. As you all can see, the spike just for THIS thread has gone to a WHOPPING over 1700 views while the rest of the threads are someplace around 200-300 views. Guess it is great for readership.

I have landed in a place that I hope is a non-denominational christian site. Maybe I will see that when threads get resurrected up from days and days of no one reading it they will drop it. Maybe, it won't be brought up again. If it hurt someone. I think you are right Bonnie. I come here because this is how I was brought up SDA. Sometimes (a lot of times) I wonder if I am truly an SDA because I do not act like those here. I do not care to dredge up old wounds just to peck and peck at those until they bleed so bad that they no longer heal. I do not enjoy seeing people suffer just for the readership of a forum or even in real life. It just brings me to tears knowing that professed christians would allow that to go on. Although, I guess I should have known it would be this way. Look at how Jesus was treated in His time.

I cannot even make generalized viewpoints without someone taking that I am talking about ONLY them. Sure it happened to me but I am not the only one. That is the point I was trying to make.

Oh well. One cannot argue with a stone wall. One just has to ignore it.

As my son says Bruce,

WHAT EVER!!

means that you know what you were trying to do and someone "caught" ya at it.

I have no problem answering you at all. Initially I came back as a result of a PM by a coule of friends for reasons of their own.

Then of course this cropped up and keeps cropping up. I have already told you privately at this point what my reasons are at present. So please do not ask as if you don't know.

In any dispute brought to public attention both sides have or should have to tell their side.
Here it is one side only, if the other side says a little to much they are told by name to DROP IT. Once again the drop it has a different meaning here.
The day should come that both sides have an avenue to tell their side.
The side from the very beginning of this mess, how it transpired and why. The warnings given to stop. How and why any one would go to the employer of another. What transpired between employer and the reporting party.
You continue to allow and contribute to an issue long dead, or so one would think. You allow the focus on an act that is the final result of many things that happened, wanting only that act to be for public view.

That is your choice. I have a venue to so same if that is the route I decide to take. One where all facts can be laid bare. Private pm's so -called and many other statements of fact.
A lawsuit has been threatened here by another. I am not threatening lawsuit. Only saying if protestations of innocence and being victimized are welcome here and encouraged that the same should be allowed for those being critized. I can open a smaller place,a version of C/A very quickly and let it all hang out.
You don't seem to mind it going on and on, so I am assuming you believe yourself to be a fair man and have no problem with someone defending themselves.

Call a spade a spade.

I would rather it stop. But obviously it is not going to. I would rather not go thru well over a thoudand pages of documentation, but can if need be.
I can protest my innocence with documentation I really would rather not be using.
But here documentation is not necessary. Only the rehash of those dead issues you claim to hate so mcuh.
We can rehash if that is what everyone is after.
Beginning to end, my correspondence with everyone.

I believe that is what needs to be done here. It would make for GREAT readership here! That would spike the numbers and thus would make everyone happy! Why don't you do it? It should be "fun" for everyone. Right?

No, it wouldn't get past the first post. The accusations and protestations of innocence can keep flowing here, the claims of being a victim in this. That act remains uninterrupted and unchallenged for a reason. My refuting with documentation would not be allowed. If allowed it would continually be interrupted. It should be such that it can be laid out from beginning to end and let others read as it unfolded
If all of this continues, "the innocent"rehash, it will be in a place as uninterrupted, with full notification to those involved they are being discussed. If they choose they may come with their own documentation. I believe if you are going to talk about someone it is only fair they be notified.

What ever. It is obvious nothing I can say will convince you that I was talking about others as well as myself. You know the whole world does not revolve around this one case. Not for me or for the forum. If someone else had made the exact same statement no one would have commented on it. But If I do I get the treatment from the dueo.

Would it be ok for me to lock this thread so no additional posts can be made? (yes I know others can be created but...) I too thought it was over.

Yeah go ahead lock it. It is to long anyway.
