Popular Post Mystery Meat Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post 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

I don’t have any memory of you exhibiting such behavior. 1
LoudmouthMormon Posted July 19, 2019 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
Meerkat Posted July 20, 2019 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
The Nehor Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 We can only hope this whole “civility” fad will run its course soon enough. 😉 3

why me Posted July 23, 2019 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.
