True Andrew, if things are left alone it will die down. But the key to all of this is those that you have witnessed to as being brothers or sister in the Lord, whether agreeing with what apparently has happened here, is loving them anyway. As love is the commodity that covers all sins. Whereas anything less, will not work at all. And the same thing will happen again and again, until we all begin to walk in this toward one another. At least that is what I believe to be what will overcome this problem. Meaning not to choose up sides with anyone, but to love all involved. And once we do begin to understand this, then and only then, will god be able to prevail against what the devil does try to cause to happen finally.

Love you all,
Sandy

PS. And by the way, I have owned a forum before. One that was a nasty one with fighting taking place from everyone posting there. And the Lord revealed to me how to clean it up little by little, over at least a years time into the place that became a place for people to come and share with one another, without be abused or or called names by anyone. Because there are few forums that are a place like that where people can share in peace, whether always agreeing or not. And that is what I felt led to make this. But I had to make some ground rules in order to do so too. And one important one that no matter who was my friend, I endeavored never to ever take sides with anyone as the owner ever. And always informed them by mail if they began to abuse others, they would be removed. The one I had I was able to partially ban them where they could no longer post without what was written to be examined first by a moderator.

But I also learned a lesson about how difficult it is to run a forum also. Meaning that one is generally ever going to be the most popular dude there ever. In fact, I had a very good friend of mine leave, because he knew I would ban him if he continued to post. And you now what. We were still friends because I knew he left not for himself, but in respect for me entirely. He is today with the Lord sadly, my missing this friend very much. But I also know he is in the better place for sure.

And oh, by the way, I gave the forum back to the gal that owned it, asking me to take it over, when she did return. Because I promised her I would do so. And since then, while I could open one, I do not feel led to do so at this time at all.

But just wanted you to know I know what kind of job you do have first hand.

Blessings,
Sandy

I don't see things such as deactivation as controlling, just consequences for unruly behaviour.

Without consequences to action chaos reigns.
