Hi Zim.
I thank you for the time you spent and explanation.
I also understand and get what you are saying.
That said, allow me to also say that I am not a big time researcher of these kinds of things as yourself, De, Nemo, and HydroGen definitely are. That is why I read what ALL of you guys take time to share. That is why I appreciate and am thankful for all of you.
I remember the back and forth and and I believe psyche's were bruuised and some anger and bitterness ensued.
Unlike some I am slow to believe that someone who has been a big help with many things in years gone by would deliberately "LIE" even if it has that appearance.
I can believe that the information may have been flawed and inaccurate unbeknownst or simply overlooked in the heat of a "discussion" .
I know HydroGen off the board. I have been an excellent judge of character for over 5 decades and learned a few things.
The biggest one I learned is that People can and will make a mistake, even if it glaringly obvious to someone else, they do not see it and overlook it..
I have been there and done that myself and once was on a doctrinal error I had made many years ago and a kind Theologian named Dr. Sumner Wimp helped me with it very graciously.. He did not accuse me of being a heretic or a liar or perverter of of the Gospel or an antichrist.
We quietly had a wonderful long discussion and he patiently showed me my error and I have never forgotten it. We were both much younger then but I have never forgotten that error can be corrected with Patience and Kindness.
I have had to apologize to employees before because I was incorrect and they were right. We ALL make mistakes and errors and we do not see nor recognize them in our ZEAL and in the midst of what we perceive to be a battle.
I and you were blind as bats a little while ago. I had to get out of the forest in order to see the trees. After I Stepped back and away and gave it some space I could then see more clearly as to what was going on and felt rather ashamed.
In counseling people and couples over the years one of the things I have had re-inforced with people who are at odds with one another is that we get so involved in our own side of how we perceive something that we cannot and will not and do not see where the otehr person is coming from. Happens all the time.. All too frequently..
I perceive you and always have to be an intelligent person with a lot of experience and expertise to share that is worthwhile paying attention to. When you write something I take time to read it.
When we started getting into this government inspired worldwide pandemic for purposes of controlling the people in the countries by the one worlder elites, I read averything I had time to from De, You, Hydro, and some things from The Captain, Beldin, CTJ, and a few others.
I have the sole discretion as to what I read, research things that I think need additional explanation, but also to develop trust in some people.
In this board and group I have never once tought anyone ever intentionally or willfully tried to lie to anyone. They may have been wrong, they may have used data or articles and shared them to show someting they honestly believed and strongly enough to post it..
I heard Hydro apologize to De in his post earlier this month..
That is all a person can do and is extending an olive branch.
We all have choices to make when we have been to battle and gotten our dander up and when the dust settles ponder and consider what happened and think about what others watching may now think about oneself.
I felt very foolish. I also searched the scriptures and realized for me it was wrong to behave in such a manner.
Hydro I believe did the same thing.
The choice is to either let it go and accept the applogy
or to carry a grudge for whatever length of time.
I don't have that many years remaining in this life and Ribit has even even less to have things dog me or ruin my enjoyment and learning from others who take time sharing some cool stuff I can benefit from.
I LIKE the Humor, I need to laugh, I like the articles and becoming more knowledgeable about these poisons and the consequences of them. I can only speak for me..
Sometimes we simply need to just let some things go and move on. We cannot go back in time and undo any thing we have said or done that bothered or offended anyone else. We do have the ability to simply forgive and let it go as if it never happened. THAT is the Biblical definition of forgiveness.
So I choose to let it go and have resolved mself to enjoying the work by every individual that particpates here, including yourself and often overlooked, NACL too.
I hear ya Zim. I hope you will just please give what I wrote a tiny amount of contemplation.
I really hate to see two people whom I enjoy their viewpoints and what they take time to post not to be on the same team..
Thank you for your time and for hopefully listening.
I look forward to reading your posts as much as I do HydroGen's .
Sincerely,
micro...
