Popular Post Mystery Meat Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2019 Over the years I participated more actively on this board, I believe there were times I was too harsh, contentious and mean spirited, particularly towards those who have lost faith or left the Church altogether. I am alarmed by the amount of hate and its increasing prominence in our culture and society. I feel deep sense of shame for my contributions to that trend on this site and elsewhere. I sincerely hope you will forgive me for anytime I was dismissive, angry or even hostile toward you or your sincerely held beliefs no matter how different they are from mine. My hope is that we can all help start a trend towards peace and brotherly love for all no matter disagreements in opinion, belief or affiliation. 29 Link to comment

I don’t have any memory of you exhibiting such behavior. 1 Link to comment
LoudmouthMormon Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Civility rocks. So does Charity. Plus, I've found it really weirds people out when you don't act like a jerk when people expect you to. 4 Link to comment
Meerkat Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I will say “Amen” to that. Nice post! Matt.13:33 “Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.” 2 Link to comment
The Nehor Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 We can only hope this whole “civility” fad will run its course soon enough. 😉 3 Link to comment

why me Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I don't think people take it all so personal when they are on the board. Nor do they remember very much. I think that most memories of posts last 15 minutes, if that. So don't worry about your past posts. All is well. Link to comment
