[ Post a Response | Community Chapel Gathering ]
Posted by Helen on 5/10/2006, 2:05 am, in reply to "Another Testament" Robbin, I think it is deceptive to try and portray me as not responding to you. With Dave as my witness, I was the one who asked him to forward my response to your request. Also, you say that sending your email to me via Dave was the channel I chose? This again is not true. I asked Dave to ask you if I could call you on the phone, and instead I got your email in response. If I’m to blame in this breach of our communication, you have been just as much to blame as me, because you refused to let me talk to you on the phone. That you leave this pertinent information out, and come in here accusing me in front of all these people of not responding to you is reprehensible. I’m sorry Robbin that you are having so much trouble with your anger, but I’ve let you push me around enough. No where in the rules of the Gathering does it require anyone to answer to another, especially when the other is wielding accusations and being untruthful. I’m sorry that I’ve lost faith in your ability to be truthful, but I have not wanted to accuse you. I never chided or asked you to apologize to me at all. Robbin, you were not the only one in that heated debate. That you are taking my remarks to Traci as personally directed at you, is your decision. Others in that thread said some very harsh things to me, and you are drawing your own conclusions that I was directing that solely at you. Again, not true. If you are going to claim Matthew 18, then you have not won your brother and you need to do all that that scripture says to do, and you have not. Where in Matthew 18 does it say to make the person a public whipping boy? I disagreed with you Robbin. That was my sin. Your continual guilt trips that I was “side stepping” were completely contrary to my right to avoid you on this board. Others on the Gathering sidestep all the time. Some call it "discretionary clicking". I am not responsible to make you understand my position in any given topic, especially since you were leveling blatant insinuations of me not being honest and using slight of hand. Your apology was too vague for me to comment on in any way, and it was coupled with things that I did not agree with. I simply chose to not pursue the discussion any further with you. Now, other than any further attempts to contact me via Matthew 18, I would appreciate it if you would please stop harassing me sister. Thank you. ***Helen

I did see this thread on Sunday afternoon, but thought I could not respond. Since I see that others are still able to use this board, I will attempt to post this response.
