Random thoughts... snippets of life in rural New England
*laughing*

I'm sitting here chuckling. After responding to an article earlier this evening, I just now returned to the article to find my reply gone, and left with no option to add a comment. I didn' t get some message saying I'd been blacklisted, but could someone explain to me if that's what happened?

I find this very interesting. My post was not offensive, did not demean anyone (or even speak to anyone in particular), or do anything else that I can think of that would cause someone to disable my voice. I find it comical that anyone would be so threatened by ME, that they would eliminate my offerings to the discussion and prohibit me from further comment. So much for free and open discussion, eh? Too funny.

Perhaps I'm wrong, and there's just something wacky going on with my settings. I don't think so though. Anyone care to hazzard a guess?

It seems I may have confused this with an article about a British tv show that claims Bush said God told him to go into Iraq or whatever...my bad.

No problem

I still think the blogger in question is an intolerant bigot.

Definitely intolerant... at least from what I've seen, which granted, is not much.

The difference here is you were making a point relavent to the blog

Thank you for pointing this out.

Evidently, if we all killed ourselves the world would be a better place...

Aaaaaaaaack! Not one of those VHEM wackos...

It's strange you should be brooding on the same thing that's going on the back of my mind. I did a post recently and it was actually a philosophical question. By way of emphasizing the message I had to cite several links, two of which selectively could not be connected to my post, but were otherwise accessible via Google. http://scatter629.joeuser.com/Link Don't you think they'd make matters worse if they messed with bloggers?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean... who?

Wow HC, you blacklisted?! I'm amazed, you're a gentle giant! Sometimes others might differ in their views but that's not a good reason to block someone from their blog. Now being offensive and downright rude, yeah, good reason!

I think a big part of the blacklisting was that Icon has never read her stuff (he calls HC a he), and just saw the scriptures and jumped to the (wrong) conclusion. I dont think anyone reading her would lump her with Aeryk or Preacherman. Or even Marvin Cooley.

No, I think Icon just hates seeing people quote from the Bible. At least people who don't agree with him.

Hey Bellisama! still creating hate and discontent huh? Gentle Giant??? Not obnoxious??? You sure have these people fooled! JK!!! !
I had to laugh at this situation tho! As your usual self that I admire so much you used scripture to back up your point of view. Well done! I agree with tyou Dr. Guy, HC does sell herself short. She is a great writer and I have read several of her writings.
Hugs H.

Damn!  I guess I am going to have to read it.  being a Catholic, they did not require that in Religion 101~

(Oh, and you can name names in your articles, just not in the headlines, that's a no-no.)

Thanks, LW! I need to know these things!

I haven't been back to his blog. Did he address this? Gonna have to go look now, I guess. And yes... definitely a SHE. I don't think I've ever seen anything Preacherman has written, and while I might agree with Aeryk on principle once in a while, I think he's more extreme and legalistic than I am (and I do consider myself a strict conservative Christian, so that's saying something). Never heard of Marvin Cooley. But thank you... I think.

(((((((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))))))) right back at ya...

I gather you are a fan?

Let's see... he has arrested me once (didn't you?), come to my rescue when some wacko I met on the net showed up on my doorstep (and profusely lectured me on giving too much information out on the internet (YEARS ago... before I became so net savvy...rofl)), is my best friend's Dad, and my son's Godfather. A fan, yes... and a royal pain in the butt sometimes... ROFL

Chak... thank you for this:

It's a shame that Icon deleted HC's post. Those christians who are simply trying to live ordinary humble lives of compassion and service to others, open-minded enough to be admit when they are unsure of things, but clear enough about what matters to them and navigating to a steady moral compass will never make headlines. But to suppress their voice so that only the Erwin's of this world are heard is a deliberate distortion and an argument that relies on wilful distortion is already lost.

HC...."And a royal pain in the butt sometimes"
Hmmmm I must be slacking off!

Dr. Guy, ....More than a fan. HC led me to Christ! What more can I say? She is a super young lady. Well most of the time anyway! !

Thank ya kindly, Ma'am. And I can't wait!!! Wooooohooooooooo!

Yes HC, you are a very good spokesperson. You should have your very own talk show!

I do... here's the general gist of my comments... "Did you wash your face and brush your teeth yet?" "You really want me to read THIS story again?" "Who's tracking mud through the house??" . Sure seems like a talk show some days...
