[Vision2020] When is it and when is it not my business? (update)

[keely emerinemix]

Have a great day, Doug.  And thanks for pointing out so eloquently that the 
true Gospel of Jesus Christ involves snotty comments directed to 
non-believers in the hope that they'll want to follow the God you do.

Go throw a spitball or something.

Keely Yaps in:
“I have several suggestions for what you call it
when a supposed Christian acts like a preening
sixth-grade bully.  You're being an ass, Farris.”


We have now heard from the resident theologian here on Blind 2020. Keely, 
check out paragraph 3.

I might add that if Pastor Wilson stopped living in his home, rented the 
whole thing out to students and moved in with a lady down the street you of 
all people would be the leader in developing a whole campaign of indignation 
that would make the Spanish Inquisition look like “Who Wants to be a 
Millionaire.”

not the business of anyone on V2020 except Nick,
and perhaps his friend, should she exist and should
she be on this listserve."


And, Saundra wrote:
"As usual, Sunil & Carl are spot on, but for the rest
of us, let heirdog's post serve as a reminder that
Jealousy, the Green-Eyed Monster, really is incredibly
ugly."


I am very glad that you all are trying to define morality here on Blind 2020 
but what standard shall we use to say what is and isn't some one else's 
business? We all want to participate in the standard defining exercise and 
we need to be all inclusive so that no one is left out.

For the longest time I have been posting statements that some find offensive 
and some find funny. It seems from this vast difference of opinion that 
there is no moral standard by which we can judge one and other's comments. 
Saundra calls me jealous and ugly. How does one make an absolute statement 
such as thiat?

I have read that some posters have "crossed the line" when it comes to 
saying things. By what unwritten law or code of conduct do we judge where 
the line is? And who is the policeman of "line crossing"? Is it J. Ford with 
her online dictionary? Is it Wayne Fox and his multicolored Bible Google? Or 
is it Keely Mix with her cutting wit and "I am innocent but you are guilty" 
way of putting things.

Tom-Tom says, by his posts and his blog, that it is OK to re-publish the 
addresses of those he thinks are breaking a zoning code. Isn't what they do 
in the privacy of their own home only "their business"? What gives him the 
"right" to do this? Has he crossed the mystic "line"?

What gives J. " :] " Ford the OK to publish false or misleading information 
about a local developer, with the intent to do public harm to someone from 
Christ Church? But when someone makes an embarrassing statement about an ex 
husband who resides in the state pen, this has crossed the mystic "line"!

Maybe it's time to shut this site down. Maybe it's time to do what someone, 
I respect, said, ..."Live and let live". Is this the standard we should 
follow?

When Dale pointed out the incongruity of Keely's request, in light of all of 
the accusations by Rose and Co. with respect to having people live in their 
house, I thought I would bring up Nick Gier's living situation - again. Is 
he paying any of the bills there? Wouldn't that make him a "boarder" by the 
code? He is not a family member.

It seems, by the comments back to me, that THIS is none of my business! Why, 
he is an important public school figure with a lot on his plate (he told us 
so)! Why one set of standards for some and not for others? Where is the out 
cry "For the Love of the Code?"

Is all of this a picture of "white men of privilege" being overcome and 
subdued by those who feel down trodden? Or is it as Mrs. Lund said, "  a 
reminder that Jealousy, the Green-Eyed Monster, really is incredibly 
ugly..."?

lemeno, Doug!
