Author	Thread: Honor and Respect
Elisa View Profile History	Honor and Respect Posted : 22 Nov, 2010 07:06 PM Ok, I can be silent no longer. These forums are NOT for attacking each other. In Kindergarten, children are taught the Golden Rule. If you cannot say something nice about someone, do not say anything at all. The folks posting are asking for input, ideas, etc. Should we not honor their requests by answering them without attacking the responses of others? Also, if we attack each other, that is going to begin limiting the responses. Why on earth would a person wish to open himself or herself up to ridicule? Before hitting submit, please reflect on our Christian beliefs. Post Reply

View Profile History	Honor and Respect Posted : 23 Nov, 2010 05:59 PM Elisa, thank you for reminding all of us here. I agree that we should not attack each other EVERYWHERE, not only in this forum. And the disagreement could be delivered in a nicer way, no need to put inappropriate words while delivering our opinions. Tho, I have something in my mind regarding this matter. Like Mark said, if anyone is disagree with me, that's fine :winksmile: - btw, maybe we all should end our post with that sentence after delivering our opinions :glow: that would just make things simpler :yay: The problem with indirect communication is, no tone, expression and body language. So, it is barely two way communication considering on what the deliverer meant could be assumed by a thousand mean by the recipient. While in direct communication, at least it could be narrowed down thanks to the tone, expression and body language. Tho everyone will always have their own assumption toward something, not to mention other factors contribute as well, like mood, hormones, the person's situation, like/dislike, etc. And people vary from everything, level of faith, sense of humour, intelligence, you name it. In indirect communication, a simple "hello" would be read as H-E-L-L-O plus the assumption of the receiver when he/she was feeling toward the delivered message. For example, the deliverer meant to say that hello in flirtatious tone but the tone was not delivered so the receiver would take it as, hello in excited tone. That's just a simple case on a simple thing, could end up with a whole different scenario. So, please do not assume, especially in indirect communication. Sometimes it is not the substance but how we deliver it. Sometimes it is not the object being the problem, but the person as the subject. Sometimes when the person is , the person is with you, not you :glow: My two cents :goofball: Again, thanks for reminding us all, Elisa :applause: Post Reply
SilverFire View Profile History	Honor and Respect Posted : 23 Nov, 2010 08:45 PM I have two questions. 1) How does issuing backhanded and vague condemnations of someone else's behavior square with Matthew 18? 2) What was the question that you wanted guys to answer? Post Reply
