It would appear to the non-professional observer that you are giving stourme a pass on the thick skin guideline...

I agree with you AMPU, this should certainly come under the "thick skin" rule....and I certainly don't see what there is about "Stormy" that would cause such angst.

Especially when ALL of the Inmans have personally been called much worse by Restornu, time after time.

BTW, moderator, I would remind you of the pass that was given to this person on his use of brackets to post insulting little digs. Thin-skin, indeed!

I suggest that 1. We stop replying to the posts of the thin-skinned one; or 2; We just don't use the name of same.

I see this is another link in the chain of evidence that the FR mormons are becoming desperate in their inability to dodge the factual evidence being posted about their arcane beliefs.

This particular whine is completely ridiculous and totally laughable.

It is a spiritual clue that conviction is happening. The human nature approach is to associate the condemnation out as from others, as if under assault from without, when the whisper of the Holy Spirit is first heard within. The next step is bold stubborness, to refuse to even read that which does the continuing work of conviction. If a further progress is to happen, it is God’s Spirit Who will accomplish it. And like with any unruly child (like the little boy in the story offered to Stourme earlier), waiting for conviction to do its thing is the only way to deal with such rebellion. So long as the Hound of Heaven continues to pursue, there is hope for the lost. Paul taught that we ought be ever ready to offer the hope that is WITHIN us, thus to the unsaved we must be ever ready to rerspond with love. It is to the fellow born again that we use shunning and disciplnary measures. Paul was clear in his message to Timothy (2Tim), those who continue in false doctrine, seeking to lead the elect away from Truth and growth in His Spirit, from such turn away. Are we there yet? ... I hope not.

If the complaint is "completely ridiculous and totally laughable" then you should not bring even more attention to it but instead ignore it.

On the thin skin issue, my responsibility involves separating the ones who are truly offended from those who only pretend to be offended.

The former have no business on "open" Religion Forum threads - the latter may be trying to get a thread pulled, a poster or source banned, policy changed, etc. The latter sometimes threaten to withhold donations if posters don't stop offending them, etc. The solutions vary accordingly.

The former are best served by being told to "leave the thread" and/or ignore "open" Religion Forum threads altogether.

But that kind of on-thread attention to the latter allows him/her to play the e-martyr and further his own agenda. And so how I deal with him/her depends on more than what meets the eye and it may or may not be apparent on thread.

Sounds like a particular group of folks is running out of tricks...

And getting hammered from all quarters, not just FR...
