Before I begin I would like to say that I know with certainty that I am not perfect. There is a lot that I am constantly trying to work on with the Lord in different areas of my personality.
With that said I would like to offer up a loving challenge to the Administration of this site. In the RM there seems to be differing opinions on the doctrine of salvation. When I was a part of the RM this never disturbed me, but I can honestly understand how it bothers those within the tradition since baptism is foundational to the tradition itself.
Knowing all of this still does not change the fact that the RM is radically changing in many ways. I say all of this because there seems to be many arguments over this issue on this site. I am in no way innocent of not agitating others when I feel that I have been wronged or that I am right. I just think that it would be nice to see those who maintain this site and moderate here being more active since online discussion can be such a blessing. Whether you respond or not will not offend me one bit. I thank you for a place to chat with other Christians. |

I am wondering why forum is set up to be anonymous. I am open in my understanding of the gospel and my questions about how we should live our lives in Christ. I quessing taht some of the things said here would cause trouble at home if the facts are known.
Lets be open about our ideas and let the fact fall where they should.

Jen,
Several of us designated moderators check most of the threads daily. While there is frequent disagreement around the issues Linkoln mentioned and while sometimes frustration is expressed, there generally have not been any violations of the site's protocols or codes of conduct.
The moderators are watching, but the posting action is so light that there's just not that much to keep up with. Frankly, Linkoln is one of the more consistently abrasive posters, though he is not alone in this. Moderating does not entail intervening everytime a contributor gets testy. That kind of policing stifles discussion and can be seen as lacking objectivity. If Linkoln doesn't like the way that some posters interact with him that's fine - I'm sure they feel the same way - but it certainly doesn't require the intervention of a moderator. If lines are crossed the moderators will take note and deal with it accordingly (including advising you).
Thanks for providing the CCT forums!
Well stated.
P.S. Those "pesky" signature statements, advertising "non RM" forums,
that go nowhere when you try to check them out.
Could something possibly be done about them?  |

I appreciate your comments, and would like to say I accept your challenge. In spirit I do, but in practice it is very difficult to keep tabs on the various discussions and potential controversy points throughout the many forums. It is always more helpful if users like you will point us to specific threads where you see a problem. I make sure to read anything referred to me in this way and take action if necessary.
Thanks again for writing. I welcome others' thoughts as well. |
