They're not. They don't put up with shenanigans from far-right inquirer types among young men who get all their information about Orthodoxy, women, marriage, and everything else from other toxic young men on reddit.How so? How are they liberal?
'Twas my impression as well. Which, again, is why I make it a point to ask Orthodox what they mean by liberal vs conservative vs traditional vs ecumenical.They're not. They don't put up with shenanigans from far-right inquirer types among young men who get all their information about Orthodoxy, women, marriage, and everything else from other toxic young men on reddit.
this wasn't really a question of liberal or not, though. this was just the one mod publicly lying continually about any number of things, including me personally. Fr. Peter just happened to be her favorite topic to blatantly lie about.I mean this is literally what the other poster was fighting with the reddit mods over, but you can write whatever fan fiction you want about me.
well, they seem to think that Fr Peter Heers is operating outside of episcopal authority rather than really truly secretly somehow being under some bishop somewhere
Seconded.I don't really have a reason to trust your side of a he-said-she-said battle with moderators on another site, it just sounds like sour grapes. ooooh, those durn liberalists!
I've been an active member of various forums since 1997. The good ones have all become sort of "stagnant" to me. But I don't mean that as an insult. I see forums a bit like Conway's game of life*. There is a sweet spot for serious discussion. When they get too big that is lost and folks like me quit posting. It's like that old Hillary Clinton meme, "It takes a village". She was a stopped clock being right with that one. But the key is that it's a village, not a city. I moved from Seattle to a small Kentucky county 13 years ago. This is a "village". There is not a lot of anonymity here. The area is, relatively speaking, close knit. It's almost impossible to hit the local Wal-Mart without seeing someone you know, and I suspect the cops know pretty much every car in town. It's a whole different vibe than NYC, or even Seattle or Chicago.
And I see Reddit as NYC and sites like this one as my local county. I strongly prefer the latter when trying to build relationships and being more than merely "polite". And Christianity is ALL about personal relationships - with our creator and our fellow man.
*Conways's game of life is a simple computer program that uses the concept of bits in a lifecycle, with each lifecycle each bit either reproduce another, does nothing, or dies, based on their proximity to other bits in each lifecycle.
