I do know who said it,

Then you should know that what a person says about him/herself is not what counts.

Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Oh, absolutely!!! I couldn't agree with you more! The fruits of the Spirit are described in Galatians 5:22-23:

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

That is why I have recommended that we should all pay particularly close attention to any poster whose conduct would be characterized as loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, gentle, good, faithful, meek and self-controlled.

Conversely, we would be better off ignoring the posts of posters whose conduct would be characterized as hateful, angry, anxious, impatient, rough, mean, fickle, proud or impulsive.
