I think the issue has always been Osteen, not Vision.
This is a conservative, Christian-oriented forum, and it’s a pretty controversial thing for a member to post “devotionals” dedicated to a man who espouses increasingly anti-Christian sentiments, and who seems unable to stand up and uncompromisingly defend the Gospel. IMO things were always going to come to a head...it was just a matter of when.
As for Vision, he avoided dialogue, even on other Osteen threads when he was repeatedly pinged, and he stuck with Osteen, no matter what. Of course he was called on it.
His response tonight communicates volumes. He became indignant, insulted a Freeper’s Christianity, and fled the forum in a snit.
It's never a popular thing when someone only posts threads and never or almost never responds to them.
Hit and run posters have never been very highly regarded.
I never was under the impression that the devotionals were dedicated to Mr. Osteen? They devotionals were from Mr. Osteen sent out to those who wish to receive them. Vision chose to share them, via FR, maybe with the thought that they might help someone?
Vision’s choice to answer or not, is his/her choice. If that upsets other Freepers, they should avoid the topic and/or user. It would not upset me, I would just move on.
I do think some people just look for a confrontation/fight. I don’t think Vision deserved the attacks tonight.
