This could possibly work.
My only reservation about it is that pounding posters into silence is one of their tactics. Since we are trying to change their behavior, maybe it would be best not to emulate their tactics.
But, I am willing to try it anyways. Who knows, if it works, maybe we can shorten it down to a simple one word post "Shame" in reply to the offender.
Wellllllllll, your points are well taken.
Perhaps . . .
“TAKE SUCH TONES AND WORD CHOICES TO YOUR OWN THREAD. THIS IS TO BE A CONSTRUCTIVE CHARITABLE GRACIOUS CAUCUS THREAD.”
Or some such.
Perhaps one word as you say:
“ENOUGH!”
or
“ENOUGH OF THAT SORT OF THING!”
I think my notion of “pound” was a pic of the whole of the good folks on the thread communicating as with one voice—KNOCK IT OFF! And then ignoring the offender accordingly—in absolute unison.
Anyway—we shall see.
I’ll try and post the devotional thread within 24 hours of getting the list. Though I guess we could start with one almost at random.
Dear Bro & Sis,
I believe that the ONE ANOTHER CHRISTIAN CAUCUS thread NEEDS a robust diversity and amount of folks willing and committed to contributing.
It will be best as a shared process vs a few stars sort of thread.
Personally, I’d prefer that folks prayerfully considered if this would be a thread which God would call you to as an individual to contribute to for your own AND OTHERS edification and growth. AND ASSUME THAT YOU AND GOD are sufficient for that to happen regardless of your education or walk in the Lord.
Consider it a kind of small group fellowship/Bible study/prayer/body ministry/share group.
Pray about God helping all of us be of a broken and contrite heart; willing to be broken bread and poured out wine for one another and for the lurkers reading.
I’m praying that this becomes an uncommonly potent FR thread overflowing with Holy Spirit’s liquid Love, care, truth-in-Love etc.
Thanks in advance.
Other suggestions?
