I felt a peace in the shower to commit to the following:
IF
a majority consensus—say at 70% of respondents to this post—assert to me
that it is their prayerful conviction that my satirical, fierce dramatizations are
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE, MORE DESTRUCTIVE THAN FRUITFUL FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD HEREON
Then I will do my utmost to curtail them say 90-95% of the time and ask a cluster of highly respected bro & sisters hereon to vet the other 5% [maybe not 100%—I hesitate to commit to 100% given I don’t know the future—but would earenstly try to make it very near or equal to 100% of the remainder—a simple majority of the vetting group]
and ask a cluster of highly respected bros & sisters hereon to vet the other 5%.
If the consensus of respondents to this post is more close to 50%, then I will still drastically curtail such writing styles. I’ll have to pray about how much and how much vetting to bother others about, in that case.
Most sincerely,
I think you should take more showers.
PERSONAL REQUEST PERSONAL PING TO CONSIDER VOTING RE POST #36 INFLUENCING MY WRITING/POSTING STYLE.
No Quix, your satirical fierce dramatizations, are not “counterproductive, more destructive than fruitful.”
They are pointed and effective and useful for illustrating what you are trying to say.
Keep up the good work.

My vote is “counterproductive, more destructive than fruitful”.
However, in the end, Quix, it isn’t about you.
It’s really all about any of us, if we profess to be “children of the light”, to be moved to cast light and not darkness.
This won’t really go anywhere if it’s all about Quix. The focus will be in the wrong place.
We all need to remember the words of St. John the Beloved: “I must decrease, He must increase.”
In this counsel, we find a safe haven. We’ll be more inclined to want to increase His love in the world and even more importantly, be willing to step aside and let God do his work, in silence and in love, in the hearts of us who say we belong to Him.
"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion." -- Proverbs 28:1
IMHO, it has nothing to do with writing style nor percentages thereof.
It is much more important to remain in fellowship with God, through faith in Christ, thereby placing us in the right place, at the right time, while we walk by faith, fulfilling His plan for us and others.
As we write, we may remain in faith and express ourselves in many different fashions as per His faith circulating in our hearts.
Depending on the situation, the writing style might any number of composite expressions, provided we remain in fellwship with Him as we think, compose, and type our posts.
Like I said elsewhere, I pass on voting. I do not think voting people off the island if a fair exercise. I frequently ignore your posts, because they are “satirical, fierce dramatizations”, and I usually plod away in my methodical, linear reasoning manner. If you yourself think that “satirical, fierce dramatizations” add value to the forum, you should continue making them, and otherwise, not. You don’t seem to break any rules.
My greatest objection is to large fonts and colors, as that is not fair to the other posters. But you did not ask about that, and the rules allow them.
This is a bit more difficult than I thought. Must ponder this overnight.
Dear one, I think everything you could ever say on the subject has been said. I’m not sure how productive it is to keep going over it. Folks who post on the religion forum have heard it and may actually become hardened to it and ignore it when they see your name on it. Perhaps it’s time to prayerfully consider a different approach without compromising the message. Different tone but not different message. Does that make sense? Keep up the good work, however, in trying to bring truth to all of us. Much love, Mxxx
Keep on posting, Quix.
You are loved.
