Re：Go team! Date Posted：14/11/2011 10:59 PMCopy HTML Good morning, Eric.
Got a link ?? I don't think it's necessary to be anouncing as much, so let the malcontents rant and rave to their hearts' measure in their private space (see Luke 12:3; 40:42, 43-45). I will note this, however: Janine clearly possesses a very short memory ;) Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

To get to this page I have to click on the GRC link which the forum owner has clearly labeled as "Issues pertaining to the assemblies aligned with Noel Hollins. It is for ex GRC members, those contemplating on leaving and those with friends and family in the GRC group."
It is interesting to note that the very first post after the shut out you immediately start with the inflammatory comments and have a shot at the ex -GRC members who this site was set up for. You are nothing but a trouble making troll.

Re：Go team! Date Posted：15/11/2011 9:23 PMCopy HTML Good morning, Diogenes. What team are you referring to Ian? Certainly not the one for which this area of the forum was specifically set up for. Indeed I am. From my corner comes criticism, from yours bittercisim, and the two approaches couldn't be more different. What you, and your team, needs to understand is that each of the various sub-categories of this forum is broad, intentionally so, and invites comment from the whomsoever. And as has been pointed out several times recently, the forum doesn't support or propagate the Revivalist penchant for exclusivism/exclusionism. Learn to live with it, or like others of your ilk, leave :) To get to this page I have to click on the GRC link which the forum owner has clearly labeled as "Issues pertaining to the assemblies aligned with Noel Hollins. It is for ex GRC members, those contemplating on leaving and those with friends and family in the GRC group." So just wondering... which of those specific categories do you fit in to and why the hell are you still here troll? For the simple reason that the Forum owner has extended the day-to-day control of the place to me. And as a forum moderator I get to choose who is being a troll, not you ;) It is interesting to note that the very first post after the shut out you immediately start with the inflammatory comments and have a shot at the ex -GRC members who this site was set up for. You are nothing but a trouble making troll. I would that the persona that you choose to portray publicly here, was the same as the persona you choose portray in your private conversations with me. That they aren't leads me to conclude that you're being rather duplicitous in your approach; inconsistent, insofar that you're keen on maintaining a certain image with one group, but another with me. So the obvious question then becomes: who are you really trying to curry favour with? Finally, and with respect to the 'shut out', I'm perfectly content that certain former GRC-ers have opted to congregate at the Facebook page created by Mr 'H'. If it makes y'all happy, then that must be a good thing. It also removes the need to be constantly filtering from here the ad hominem rants that you agreed were 'over the top' ;) Ciao. Ian P.S. Contrary to Simon's assertion I never joined his Facebook page. Consequently, he never had cause to 'ban me' either. I can only assume, then, that he's attempting to garner a reputation of sorts. If nothing else, you lot certainly are an entertaining bunch :)

Re：Go team! Date Posted：16/11/2011 1:05 AMCopy HTML Reply to Didaktikon ============================== Then perhaps you should differentiate between the role of a 'poster' and that of a 'moderator' and lead by example. If you expect others to follow the forum's guidelines then as a 'poster' stay out of the area that is clearly marked for ex - GRC members only.

You had the opportunity (and responsibility) to start things off afresh in a positive way that would foster peace between the various groups but chose instead to shirk that obligation. I expect much more from a moderator than this and feel you have been derelict in your duties and as such are accountable for much of the angst that has been generated here of late.

Re：Go team! Date Posted：16/11/2011 1:43 AMCopy HTML Diogenes, once more. Then perhaps you should differentiate between the role of a 'poster' and that of a 'moderator' and lead by example. If you expect others to follow the forum's guidelines then as a 'poster' stay out of the area that is clearly marked for ex - GRC members only. As I mentioned to you privately I'm free to wander where I wish on this forum. Registered users are also free to challenge any points that I raise. As it is I'm quite light in touch when I exercise moderation privileges, much lighter than many moderators on other forums of a similar type. Anyway, Unkoolman always has the final say :) The PM I sent sent you had more to do with a request that a malicious and disgusting post be removed from this site. I'm less interested in your PM than I am your emails. I find it interesting that as moderator you seem quick to delete the 'ad hominem rants' about you personally (which are mainly about your personality and should be like water off a ducks back to you)... but are content to allow such filth as I referred to (that has the capacity to destroy an entire family) to fester and remain. I deleted nothing, actually. T'was Unkoolman exercising his rights as forum owner :) If one of your ex buds has written a post that offends your sensibilities, perhaps you should take it up with him/her? It's been pointed out on several occasions that you lot have a tendency towards eating your own young (pick any thread in the GRC sub-forum if you disbelieve), and as you admitted to knowing who the author was in your PM to me, go all ex-GRCie on them and have at it! No I do not mean to cause offence in my posts (I seek to challenge not offend) and I agree that things probably did get a little heated there last week (from both sides)... but I am responding the way I am now because I was extremely disappointed that straight after the lock out you as the moderator chose to not only post in an area clearly marked for ex -GRC members only but also initiated the first post with such inflammatory and provocative remarks against the former members. Given that it was you fellows who were responsible for anonymous posting being suspended here (Unkoolman exercising his judgment again), please tread lightly with the vacuous rhetoric :P You had the opportunity (and responsibility) to start things off afresh in a positive way that would foster peace between the various groups but chose instead to shirk that obligation. But I'm not interested in fostering peace with your 'unpeaceable' associates. They're perfectly free to believe as they always have, and behave as they always will. Just not here ;) I expect much more from a moderator than this and feel you have been derelict in your duties and as such are accountable for much of the angst that has been generated here of late. I doubt that you'd be surprised to discover that what you 'expect', and 'feel', doesn't rate particularly high on my personal care factor at the moment. This is a discussion forum; you and your associates have chosen not to discuss but instead to defame, hence I 'expect' and 'feel' it likely that you've overstayed your collective welcome. All five of you ;) Finally, I reckon your brethren are perfectly comfortable inculcating and nurturing their 'angst', given that they seem to thrive on promoting the 'persecuted remnant' line. Anyhoo ... Ian

That's quite right. If I left it up to Ian to delete the messes these threads get into they would still be just that. He doesn't delete and I don't think I even gave him deleting abilities as a sub-moderator of some threads. When the threads turn into endless rants and criticisms pertaining to Ian, I usually delete the whole lot unless there is information therein that could be actually useful to people. This is MY forum, and I am NOT Ian, and we're very different people who have never met. I LOVE Ian being a part of this forum though and continue to welcome and thank him for the work he does here (when he's not being hassled for being himself). I did at one point offer him the complete ownership and moderation of this forum, but he declined. I'm actually glad he did decline, because I promised a previous owner of the forum that I would never make such an offer to Ian. I shouldn't have and I intend to keep the promise in the future. As Ian said, there ARE facebook groups if this forum gets to heavy for anyone, or you could simply choose to ignore Ian. It can be done.

Re：Go team! Date Posted：16/11/2011 8:04 AMCopy HTML Unkoolman,
Thanks for the vote of confidence, ya big chump. By the bye,'young' Janine (aka 'Lemons') is apparently somewhat upset that: (1) you own this forum, (2) that you had the temerity to delete her posts, and (3) that she's subsequently been banned from posting here. Golly gosh, you fiend, how dare you :P I find it remarkable that someone who is apparently so keen to be convincing others to stay away from here, apparently can't help but keep coming back herself ;) Simon, It's probably time to give the leash a short, sharp pull and bring her to heel. It's your Facebook page after all, and I reckon you're no keener for Janine turning it into her private hatemail soapbox than Unkoolman was having this forum so become ;) Blessings, Ian

Re：Go team! Date Posted：16/11/2011 9:42 PMCopy HTML As a former GRC affiliated member and being out for some 12-13 years still harbouring a lot of junk from my 10-12 years from about 10years old in that system. I stumbled across this forum (or led by Holy Spirit) last Christmas while quiet at work; and this forum, even though stirring up bad memories, helped me understand them a lot more clearly and therefore to cleanse my heart, mind and soul.
On the part of Ian, even though I dont agree with 100% of what he posts, I understand the reason why he is posting what he posts. Also, without actually knowing the man, I feel I understand his personality, therefore his posting style - it's not bad, its just his personality type, and anybody who has done any communication course for dealing 1on1 with people should be able to do. (Not that Ian needs or wants my support, I'm just saying my thoughts) Actually, a good point that a former Pastor from my current church (before he semi-retired to focus on missionary work) says quite a bit - If you haven't been offended by something from the scripture, you either are a very new Christian or your not hearing the scripture. Out for Good Ps. I cannot see any attacking of anybody in this thread as indicated in the FB forum |

Re：Go team! Date Posted：20/11/2011 4:19 AMCopy HTML I don't remember ever banning Janine. I can't imagine why I ever would. She was a regular here and I have no recollection of her breaking the forum rules to the point where I would ban her. That's only reserved for serial pests that make my itchy delete finger sore.
Unless it was a glitch, or I mistakenly lister her ip address within the parameters of another. I haven't been getting emails recently as I just discovered that my previous unkoolman gmail account has strangely disappeared. I don't check in here that often and I apologise. My new email address is exrevival@gmail.com |

Re：Go team! Date Posted：20/11/2011 4:26 AMCopy HTML G'day, Unk.
I don't remember ever banning Janine. I can't imagine why I ever would. She was a regular here and I have no recollection of her breaking the forum rules to the point where I would ban her. That's only reserved for serial pests that make my itchy delete finger sore. I don't believe you did ban her. I think that when you stopped allowing anonymous (i.e. unregistered user) posts, Janine got all uppity and took what was a collective action as a personal affront. After all, she hadn't signed in under her 'Lemons' account for yonks; preferring instead to post anonymously given that it allowed her opportunity for multiple aliases ;) Unless it was a glitch, or I mistakenly lister her ip address within the parameters of another. I haven't been getting emails recently as I just discovered that my previous unkoolman gmail account has strangely disappeared. I don't check in here that often and I apologise. My new email address is exrevival@gmail.com. Again, I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you. Janine and her handful of like-minded compadres seem happy enough to be 'shooting the breeze' at Simon's Facebook page. After all they've plenty more people than just me to hate, plus it provides Simon's forum with traffic for the first time in months ;) Blessings, Ian P.S. Nice Avatar, by the way. It makes me think of how Harvey Dent might look if painted by Picasso. email: didaktikon@gmail.com

Re：Go team! Date Posted：20/11/2011 4:43 AMCopy HTML Oh thanks.
I'm glad they have the facebook page. I think it's much better suited towards the social engagement they seem to be after. |

Re：Go team! Date Posted：20/11/2011 4:47 AMCopy HTML Unk,
Agreed. However, I give it about a month before it either: (a) implodes, or (b) goes stagnant like last time ;) Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com
