Yes, you remember correctly. I bought TH a membership shortly after he first joined as he was an intriguing member with a keen intellect and a sharp sense of humour. I didn't agree with him on everything but he was a refreshing new voice and one that became a highly respected member from people of all persuasions, well, dimwitted trolls notwithstanding of course...
I'm sorry that he is not posting here now. Maybe he'll come back?
My regular forum is full of members, hundreds posting on scores of new threads every day, but when I come here there is you and a handful of other names, is all.
Very few of us agree on everything, simply because we don't have the same information, or experience, or beliefs. But that's where communications adds to what we already have, I guess.
I'll tell you why I don't mind nasty trolls.... I never bung anybody on ignore, I need them because the experience helps me to manage the conflict better, or so I think.
I can be surprised by TOL threads and posts, I remember a new member introducing them self as s Christian focused upon the love of Christ and love on congregation and world, just love. And a few very grim replies came back to him explaining that he was more likely to meet with truth here. I never saw his name again.
its other mindsets that I discover here.
