Question for the hosts.

On the ordered charismata thread, it appears that the conversation seems be being deliberately sabotaged by one user.

Is it right that one user should have 60% of the wordcount on a single thread? That seems rather excessive.

When we read the content, it is clear that there Gamaliel has little room for disagreement and only exhibits a desire to snipe at those who dare to disagree with what he sees as superior wisdom; indeed we are implored to "Trust me, I've been there, I've done it."

We all have had different experiences of churches and clearly Gamaliel has had a bad time at a few charismatic churches. But should his sour grapes be poisoning everyone else's communion?

My reading of the 10 commandments would see this as a breach certainly of 8 and possibly of 1 too.

Do the hosts concur or is this a matter to take to Hell?

Both Commandments 1 & 8 are usually evidenced by behaviour on multiple threads, and often multiple boards. As such, it usually falls to admin to call it rather than the hosts (though, the hosts are usually the first to spot the problem as they do read everything posted).

Excessive verbiage is not in contravention of any commandment. If it worries you so much, then you are free to call him to Hell. Though, that probably obliges you to read all of his responses.

Don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.

If it helps I'll promise to read, listen and not engage on that thread.

FWIW some of my best friends are charismatics.

Let us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord for He is kind.
