...look how well it works. Several Christians have come here to save us or argue their case..we've allowed them all the rope they need to hang themselves with..after which they stomp off when we cut them down...never to return again.

Look at the predicament Paul got himself into thinking we would begin banning him..he hoped.

First of all he chose to skip the usual way you present a case..by being honest..in favor of games and lies and obscure distortions...then he tried bombast...false claims..non-deadlines...and all the while we waited patiently to get back on point, some of us even gave him enough credit to take him seriously...but he tells us now he had another agenda entirely...like it was a secret.

He left without even bothering to address several points put to him over and over again...showing he hadn't come here to use a forum but abuse one from the start...and he's welcome..welcome to come back and do it again...but he won't. That's self-banning in action, no need to get huffy about it...this forum, while as open as can be, taught Paul that he doesn't belong here...let him say he doesn't WANT to be here..it amounts to the same thing...this is not for him...a place with no Masters is not for him.

Okay so all the things that he objected to still exist...we still have an open forum..it will remain to be seen if he thinks he's managed to slime his own family enough to get Tiglath to distance HIMSELF...but that's their problem.

There was never anything for him to "prove" or win...not the way he went about it and the one thing he was doing under the table..came round and kicked his mother in the head..you see it was a price he was willing to pay...a "sacrifice"..of someone else..he felt called on to make...for God.

Had his crops failed in old Jerusalem he would have been the first to sacrifice his son..or mother.

The one thing this place is here for...didn't change a bit..and now he must endure even more of the kinds of ideas he can do nothing about and never could...the secret to this place is that there is nothing here...quite literally...it's an open space waiting to be used, an empty market stall in a forum waiting for wares to be displayed for anyone interested. I'm off in one corner talking to myself...in other nooks and crannies we have a few people talking to themselves and every so often we stumble over each other and continue on our ways...round and round in circles. There is no agenda to shoot down...there is no Master to attack...you can come in and go to another spot and talk to YOUR self...there is nothing here but what you bring to offer...

This is what defeats these people all the time..like Paul, they reach out to hit someone and find they punched their own mother in the head...naturally and being prone to see and hear things from 2000 years ago, they think the place is haunted and run out.

We go on as before...having taught Paul a valuable lesson he'll always remember if not cherish, but it might save him grief in the future...don't play on a freeway...your mother might get run over.
