Boy oh boy. I can't see where I said to have a fan club for anyone but God was IDOLATRY. I didn't say it was wrong to have a fan club. I didn't understand why lindseyk's fanclub was here. Why not place it in another group or alter the name so the focus is better? I don't know.

Rix and lindseyk are leaders in this group and I am not, I will take my place. Rix doesn't care for my thoughts. I wanted to express myself with respect.

I don't think everything must be sacred. I am a nurse and am employed by an org. that is not Christian.

I have caused upset. I am sorry.

It is really too bad that we cannot sit down face to face with the people we interact with over the boards, so much is lost through the written word - vocal tonality, facial gestures, body language. In person, I am much more caustic (only joking ).

First of all, I want to welcome you. Secondly, I do not know if online posting is new to you. But, as notyet emphasized, comments made are usually not personal attacks (however, sadly, there are those who resort to ad hominem attacks), so you mustn't take comments made personally. After all, I do not know you enough to be personal. And if I did, it would also not be my place to judge, for I still would not know the intent of your heart.

However, your initial post came across, to me anyways, as being somewhat legalistic, so I responded with satire. It was never intended to be personal. And, if you've spent anytime in a church, or any other Christian institution, one is often confronted with legalistic attitudes and those who play games of spiritual one-up-manship over others. Therefore, I am sorry that you were on the receiving end of the brunt of my attack. However, it was never intended to be personal, and I do welcome you to the group.

And, as coueri emphasized, I am not in some "privileged position," and you do not have to take your place in the "pecking order." We are rather egalitarian here, and there is no real hierarchy. The only one with any real power is notyet as group owner, and he is free to dethrone me at any time .

Also, the reason I was curious if this was your first time (in a posting forum that is), is since the first time I ventured into the world of online posting, I learned quickly that one has to develop a "thick skin." After all, anything you write is subject to cross examination, and others tearing holes in your arguments. I first "cut my teeth" in an online Christian mens group. I appreciate what Phillip Yancey once said about "being a liberal among conservatives, and a conservative among liberals." Since I was often attacked, gang banged, and branded as a "liberal," even though my personal views are more libertarian. But, I learned to develop a thick skin from the initial experience. And again, on a personal note, I want to welcome you to the group, and encourage you not to the response of others personally. Finally, I encourage you to have fun with it, and not take it to seriously, as we have intended to do with this particular thread and others.

Sincerely,

rix

As a chronic insomniac, I sympathize (and empathize). For milder cases of insomnia, try a combination of kava kava, chamomile, and valerian (smells and tastes like dirty sweat socks, but is effective to a certain degree). If anything, the herbs will help take the edge off, and help you destress a bit, so you may get to sleep somewhere in the near future (in my case, it may be 36 hours later ).

And for more serious cases, I would recommend benzodiazepines .

I hope you get some sleep soon! Oh... and by the way... I'm still waiting for my pin-up .
