I do agree with you here, no one should feel they have the conviction to write what they feel through their FINGERS but not be able to articulate it. IT comes from the same place, the heart. If you have convictions, it’s cool, stick with them, no biggie, we agree to disagree, but let’s try to keep LOVE and kindness in the middle of it. It’s biblical people, sorry.
Once those are gone, we are no longer reflecting the KING.

As someone who has been online in some form since mid-80s, I learned long ago to just be me. It has been my experience that those who have online “multiple personality disorder” are not yet really comfortable with themselves…and generally “in real life” somewhat socially inept. With the huge increase in ways to express ourselves online, it is sad, IMHO, that more don’t learn to just be who they are, whether online or off. If one truly believes in what they are typing – then they should have the courage of their convictions when meeting in person. Otherwise, their comments should be taken with a grain of salt..and yeah..grow a pair, grow a life..just GROW UP! In the meantime, let’s communicate, forgive and talk it over in honesty!

No way. I saw you flip me off when I turned around.

Oh man. We needed more time for my offline loudness to come through. It was still “a pleasure to meet you” though brief…

I told Crystal I wouldn’t embarrass her too much while we were out in public…

So true. Crazy how brave people are behind a keyboard.

Hilarious. I have had the exact same thing happen to me several times. You know me – I’m a big boy. As a matter of fact, I went to volunteer for flood relief in Nashville a couple of months ago. I was working side by side with Tennessee Titans Pro Bowl center, Kevin Mawae. I was taller and bigger than him. It dawned on me that I was the size of an NFL lineman.

All that to say, people don’t realize that when they rip you online or in a nasty email. When they see you in person, it’s a totally different story. I agree. If people showed the same passion offline as they seem to online, it would be quite entertaining.

You made me laugh, bro – cause I can totally relate – and for that I thank you.

I just don’t like it when people are very friendly and outgoing on the internet and then when you see them in “real life” they mumble a few words to you and look down.

“Then conferences and offline gatherings would be much more entertaining.”

Dude, that WOULD be entertaining. We could have a Christian Jerry Springer Show/Conference! We’ve got Christian versions of everything else. Why not Springer? I mean, he’s been off the air for at least a few years so that would make it about the right time to launch the Christian version.

Hmmm…must stop. Feeling a bit too scarcastic at the moment. Go-go filter on (after I click submit, of course)!

This one reason why consistency in blogging by bloggers is so crucial in this new age of “everyone has something to say.” The reality not everyone has something worth saying, and therefore it’s made the sheer volume of information accosting.

Thanks for being one solid lighthouse in the interweb’s gambit of morons. ch:
