Ecclesiastes 3:1,7-8 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: ...Both sides need to have an opportunity where they can talk about their frustrations in a calm, reasoned manner, and to be open-minded and open-hearted when others speak about them. But, you have my promise that I will try my best to bring this about, but you think too highly of me.
7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
The very first version of the agreement was acceptable. When the shaping and gouging progressed on, one could see the weapon being fashioned. Proponents from one side needed loophole after loophole for their tastes. Those proponents were the first to use that weapon. Meanwhile, they continued their belittling behavior on a newcomer to the threads. We do not need to call people names. We also do not need scarlet letters pinned on people.
I tried, one of the things they said was that those who were not part of the agreement had no right to correct one who had taken part in the agreement. In other words they consdired everyone else a 2nd class citizen and themselves above any rules.
