I Made A Dumb Post . . .

I made a dumb post on the Lap-Band board this morning. I passed on an eMail I received of a political nature, stating that I didn't know if it was true or not. In hindsite, I should have taken the time to research it first, which I didn't, but I did not present it as fact. In any event, I was wrong, and the post was a mistake. Of course, many of the usual crown that craws out from under rocks to attach my faith at every opportunity, and me as a Christian, had a field day. The post had nothing to do with Christianity, but that never stops them. I have learned to not let these folks bother me any more, and I just consider the source. I should have used better judgement before I made the post. Live and learn, Blessings, Ron

You can request that OH remove the entire thread, Ron. I had seen that particular bit of 'info' before and researched it some time ago. Take care...

Thanks Chelle, I clicked on "Report" and sent them an eMail 2 hours ago asking them to remove it, but they havn't yet!

Oh man, Ron, you just can't stay out of trouble, can you? I just went back and read all the responses, and you got spanked big time for that! So the moral of this story is, check your sources before posting and you won't hear all the

You could not be any more right. It was dumb, I deserved it, I apoligized . . . lesson learned. I don't know what else I can do.

Ron: The reason I think you couldnt delete it is because you are on another computer that you arent logged in on OH as yourself. The delete button is there for the original poster to remove the thread at any time. But say I started a thread and then got on my iphone and checked in with the board...they would just see me as a guest and I couldnt delete a thread I started at that point.

I am sure you are right. I can't get to that puter' until night when I get home. I will try again then. Thanks!

Someone sent me that same mail ages ago. I feel your pain, Ron!~ I haven't looked at that thread since early this am. We ALL have battle scars, my friend! That's what makes it so great here, on the Island!

No question if you are a believer in "the Truth" you must foster truth. We all err, Ron. I found it interesting ( as it always seems to be the case) that those accusing you, in this case, of hatred/intolerance/etc. used words that were mean-spirited, unforgiving and intolerant. Emotions are funny that way. Logic gets trampled, people get mean and attack. Seems like in such cases no one wants to dialog but just hurl word bombs.

Thanks Gene, and you are so right. Most of the folks in questions ate the same ones that like to attack faith in general, and me specifically at every opportunity. I admitted that I was wrong and made a mistake posting that withour checking it out, but they don't want apoligies, just a reason to rant against Christianity. Blessings my friend, Ron
