Notice about all the hoopla with CS

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Freedom! self reliance : One Thread

I really don't care to go through all of this hoopla when you can just go and buy it and the thing WAS posted on Cside forum. You can buy your own words and no one else who doesn't know about it will be able to know what to do when they have an animal problem, or forgot how to make ice cubes. Then whine to me about how violated you are by having junk that you put on the internet on the internet...sheesh.

Personally for a few bucks, I do not care to continue with all the isinuations.

Doreen, I'm praying for grace and peace for you. I know what it's like to be constantly attacked for doing what you think is right. We have to learn to just let it go and move forward, knowing that the Lord is with us. Like I posted at christian Homestead, this whole thing has been a real eye opener for me, learning that we really are despised in the world. One thing I have learned in life, is that God really does make good come from bad.

Doreen, as I said, some folks will get their undies in a bunch over stuff. I understand your intent 100%, and it is/was good. I know from your private e-mail that you did not take my previous comments as negative. My entire point was that for some folks, saving that material is a worthwhile and worthy endeavor, and that for others, (me), it doesn't matter much at all. To each his own. What annoys me is that a nice person such as yourself tries to DO something they feel is valuable and there is ALWAYS somebody who will go out of their way to rain on your parade. Personally, the only thing I think you did wrong was to even go to the trouble of asking folks opinions about it. Sometimes I do wish I could revert to some of the more colorful expressions I used to use before I was saved..folks seem to get the message so much clearer when you use their own language.LOL.....I love old adages..they are so correct. "You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time." The word "please" is of course substituted for "fool", but hey, it works doesn't it? God bless.

Doreen,

Why not simply ask Ken or Dave to keep the archives where they are if they decide to close the forum. Lots of extinct forums still have their archives on the greenspun board. It would save you tremendous work and help everyone. Since the intent was to share information, I doubt they would be opposed to it.

Peace, Kim

Kim, given the vengeful personal attacks made by Dave on several people on this forum, I really doubt they would be that interested in perserving the information at the behest of certain ones of us here. Perhaps you should ask him. I don't think you and he had any unpleasant exchanges.

Kim, I don't find either of them to be trustworthy regarding their word, but Joy F said she did or was aking him.

Thanks for your kindness.

Deena, what sent me wasn't really about Christ at all. Just people. I dislike being called a plagueristic Nazi as much as the next person.

The whole thing can disappear with one button. I just find that sad, but it would take a load of time to get the stuff saved....I know that I can't invest that kind of time.
