I was going to take time here to make detailed comments on all of the things you said in the last post, but this has to end somewhere. So I have stopped myself short. I feel as though I will only be repeating myself to a large degree anyway.

This is becoming immature and petty. The last few posts I made to you has already taken up too much of my time. I would at least ask that you maybe look over some of these posts to you again as there is a lot of content in them, some of which, I feel you should read again and reconsider.

If you so desire, I will be happy to privately email you the things you have said, publicly in the past on the reachout board, under ROTW. None of these things I paraphrased in a previous post were distorted in any way. I have the context of the emails, and they (all the one's I have are definitely written by you). I suppose the easiest way to deal with this would be to specifically deny the things that you didn't say in the list I wrote here.

So this ends right here. We have both got heated and personal and there have probably been misunderstandings by both of us. I certainly am willing to admit that I have become annoyed, and possibly misunderstood some of the things you have said. I am not perfect. And I am indeed sorry for reacting so angrily. Maybe I over reacted to what I saw was a slur on myself and the work I have done on the website, by falsely saying that I have not read any of the books I cite and implying that I have no opinions of my own. This is the part of your post that initiated this:

Donald: “Then again you have probably not read Harry Potter either, whereas the author of the article had. I must admit I have only read the first book, but I guess that is still more than you. But this should come as no surprise to me, after all your whole web site is a collection of other people's opinions on various books and subjects; an assortment of quotes from books you have never read.”

I am willing to forgive and forget though and I accept your apology. This apology was only an apology about the HP books though. You never apologised for the rest of the above sweeping statement, and I only point this out as it out as the statement is a serious falsehood. I will nevertheless, accept your apology about the HP books as inclusive of the rest. And of course, I too apologise if I have caused you any offence or upset. This all needs to end.

When two people indulge in carnal, ad hominem, mud slinging matches like this, it in no way benefits anyone spiritually, and grieves the Holy Spirit. Respectful debate is fine, but I feel that this is has most certainly gone beyond this.

I have already spent too much time on this than what I intended, and want to make a couple of other posts here to others, then press on with what I really need to be doing.

I wish you the very best Donald. I bear no ill against you, and pray that you find your place and your peace in Jesus and Him alone.
