Speaking for myself, I've learned a lot here. And still learnin. And I don't mind reminders. :) Things I've learned in battles on here has made me stronger in my real life battles. When I see others picking various battles, I mainly aim to respect their need or right to do so (just as I've fought for my right to do so at times). I hope they gain what they need from each battle. And in the process I hope they learn to battle/live in an honourable/respectable way through the various mistakes they're bound to make). I've been so grateful to have the freedom to make my own mistakes and learn at my own pace and I do my best to be patient with those that may now be where I've been, even as others are patient with me being where they've been. So, what do I think of arguments on the internet? I find it real. I love the honesty, self-control and humility entailed. I can respect a good warrior. There's a lot of heart there. I think it's wonderful to have access to so many points of view and ways of explaining things. It's even great to be able to turn it off when I've had enough.
Spaznik: Nice comments. Perhaps I want to recapture the near-constant revelations I had when I first came here as a freshly-doubting ministerial servant. I feel I've made a lot of progress from where I started, so these forums have taken on more of a diversion for me rather than a much-needed lifeline. I came here in sire need of support and help - which I got - but now I come here less and less often.
