I don’t have the time or the inclination to protect your identity. So much of this game is being played on both sides, so we are going to bring it out in the open. So you can go ahead and publicly challenge anothers identity.
Note: this does not give you a license for insulting name calling. |

So much of this game is being played on both sides, so we are going to bring it out in the open. So you can go ahead and publicly guess away. Note: this does not give you a license for insulting name calling. I'll just say that you are a great man, daring to make a disputable decision, because you believe it is the right thing to do.

So much of this game is being played on both sides, so we are going to bring it out in the open. So you can go ahead and publicly challenge anothers identity. Note: this does not give you a license for insulting name calling. How eminently sensible.  No one who posts on a public forum has a right to expect the owners or moderators of the forum to protect his/her anonymity. (But then I'm not a big fan of anonymity anyway.) Otoh, I do understand that allowing anonymous posting is very helpful, because it allows individuals to post who would otherwise come to harm from those who have greater resources of money and power than they have. I trust that former employees/associated of Danny Shelton who have posted here anonymously for the good reason that DS has a record of harassing anyone who opposed him will not be unduly affected by this decision. As long as the administrators of this board do not themselves expose identities, everything should be fine. I do hope that those who have good reasons to remain anonymous will continue to conduct themselves wisely.  (Thinking of you, Sister, and a few others who clearly have "inside" knowledge.) After all, if someone should happen to guess any identities correctly, along with all the incorrect guesses, no one is obligated to verify that any particular guess is correct. Thanks, Calvin, for providing this forum. I appreciate your no-nonsense approach.

Fran -------------------- The greatest want of the world is the want of men-- men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall. {Ed 57.3}
But such a character is not the result of accident; it is not due to special favors or endowments of Providence. A noble character is the result of self-discipline, of the subjection of the lower to the higher nature--the surrender of self for the service of love to God and man. {Ed 57.4} |

Thanks, Calvin, for providing this forum. I appreciate your no-nonsense approach. Inga, thank you for your concern for myself and others, but I am not concerned. Danny's minions have tryed to prove that I am Linda Shelton, a false assumption according to the testimony of Calvin, for a long time. Let them continue to spin, their web is not invisible here. At BSDA we pay attention, this is not Sabbath School. Sister |

QUOTE(Statrei @ Jan 8 2008, 10:09 AM) I should have patented that saying. I never heard that saying until I came here to BSDA, could it be that Sabbath School is still big in the Caribbean islands and folk do pay attention from the 9 am song service until 10:30 when the second bell sounds to wrap up the lesson study? It's a great saying though. I can only imagine now that the policy regarding identity has changed, it's on now, eh?  Lawdamercy, folks gon' have a field day now.  er...if y'all want to know mine...just ask but since I'm not one of the major players in this 3ABN game, I don't forsee many requests coming my way...
