Let go.

Forgive and forget.

When the Bible tells us to forgive, even our enemies, is not for the offender's benefit but for our own.

You come across as full of anger and rage, even after being offered an olive branch.

Remember Ephesians 4.26, 31, 32:

Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
It does not help the Cause to keep these festering petty animosities.

Forgiveness allows us to stay healthy both physically and spiritually.

Furthermore, forgiveness will make you like the bigger person in any dispute, even when you were treated unfairly.

Just my $0.02

Forgiveness is good. Where's Jesseshurun? I'd like to forgive him, but he's gone.

It is not us that keep it up. It is the evos that force us to defend ourselves. They have gotten four good Christians banned from FR - medved, ALS, JesseShurun and goodseedhomeschool (twice). They are trying to silence all opposition. If you are for free speech and for a FreeRepublic, you should direct your post to them.
