Time for me to make like a baby and head out. I don't know if I'll be back, but the rancor and cheap shots reached their nadir tonight, and for expressing my disgust, I was told I'm a hypocrite with a double standard. Sorry, but when a person's death becomes an occasion for scoring rhetorical points, we've lost all pretense of the moral high ground.
May I just say that, as much as I don't like the profanity and name calling on either side of the debate, it pales in insignificance to the cheapening of human life I saw here tonight.

Would be sad to see you leave. I apologize if I offended. I meant no offence.

I've been out. Just catching up on the threads.
Yeah things came to a head tonight. They do from time to time I guess. Sorry to hear you're taking a hiatus. Personally I think you're a model of civility and come across as a great guy. Drop back in and say how things are going from time to time. Good luck with the family and life in general.

Remember, always remember, that MormonDiscussions.com is perfect, even if some of its members are not.
Cheap shots reflect negatively on the cheap shot maker, not on you. Why allow others to dictate the terms of your participation?

I know. I just see myself becoming like that, and I don't want to.

Runtu, what happened? I always like your posts and would hate to see you leave. Your sensitivity and conscientiousness add something to this forum.
Is there anyway you could just rise above the fray and remain serene, yet present?

Verlass uns doch nicht!
There are some here, I, for one, who always look forward to your posts.
Stick around, friend.
P.S. Can someone lead me to the thread (or threads) in question, please? Much appreciated, in advance.
Edited to add: Nevermind. I found it.

LOL! I love this comment, Shades!
And, Shades is absolutely right, Runtu.
I, for one, am glad you have decided to stick around. Sorry I wasn't on the board last night to monitor this better. I think we have things resolved in an appropriate manner now.
You're one of my favorite people. You can't leave! :)

I was just in a bad mood last night, and Coggins pushed one too many buttons, I guess. Besides, this is the only place where I'm allowed to hang out. LOL
