Actually, he threatened to punch her. Admitted it front of the entire congregration during a feast service. No one objected--no congregant, no 'ministry', not me. Later someone put out the spin (perhaps the Lamp) that he was actually reacting to her 'advances' on Statton--total b.s.
By nature, I'm a realist. If I went back in time, trained in martial arts, perhaps I would have handled it differently. But given all the security surrounding Hargrave, the the possibility he could be armed, it would still be idiotic. And I was aware the family was dependent on me staying out of jail, making a living, so they would have a future...which worked out. I tend to think things through that way.
Anyway, part of being a community, AD--is being aware that some things we write/say will be taken out of context by even people who are motivated from a good place. It happens. I don't think anyone on this forum is out to get you. The give and take is part of life--and it's best to handle it in a civil way (not necessarily being a 'gimp')...which at times can get a bit nasty. BTW, I doubt there is anyone on this message board, including myself, who has taken more opportunity to get their viewpoint across than you. There's been a helluva lot of generosity on the people in the forum to allow you to consistently vent/express your opinions. Do consider that before you 'shun' everyone.
