Rest assured it wasn't you, my #1 blog fan!

I've left the Zone before, only to be talked into returning. But the thing that keeps driving me away is "friendly fire". I expect hate and bashing and hypocrisy from unbelievers, but when the believers start on me it makes me wonder if I'm in the wrong place. And the blogs themselves weren't really the problem, it's what I keep seeing in even the "support" forums. Those who cry the loudest about confrontational people (like me I must assume) quickly turn confrontational themselves if anyone dares to try and keep the wolves outside where they belong. It's the same thing the lost do: we only tolerate people who agree with us.

It's also quite sickening to watch Christians get their posts deleted for any and every reason while the lost are permitted to continue their personal attacks and off-topic rants. For all practical purposes, they could combine the poorly-named "Christianity Debate" forum and the "Religion Debate" forum into one called "Bash Christianity" forum, because you never see anyone else bashed there. But as I said, the "straw that broke the camel's back" was the impression I was getting that I was not welcome in the Christianity Support forum.

I will say a public Thank You to Wrenn, who has been very good about guarding my blogs from the handfull of bashers who just couldn't tolerate my right to free speech.

Thanks also to any and all who even so much as left me alone and didn't follow me around to vote no on all my posts. I think I had close to a thousand all totaled (happily most before the voting feature). I'll miss the few of you who were not hostile, believe me. Not that I expect better treatment out in the wwworld, but there comes a time when we belivers are told to "shake the dust from our feet" and move on.
