Thank you to everyone who responded and convinced me to stay. I took no attacks against me personally, I just felt I did not posses the inspiration to be here, now I do.

Hey -Adiya said:Leaving
because you believe you don't meet the prerequisite intelligence or inspirational ideals is kind of a silly reason to leave, when you consider some of the posts made here. There are a number of boastful non-believers here that like to make people feel small, and there are a few believers who in their attempt to correct an error may come off harsh, but overall are well meaning.
You will find that there are also some non-believers who are considerate and kind, just as there are a number of believers who are considerate and kind. You should never feel that you have to leave a forum here simply because you do not meet the expectations of others. Where would you be in battle as a marine, if you took that attitude with you?
Stand up for what you believe in and hold your ground soldier. You don't back down when the fighting gets rough, you kick it into gear, and radio for back up. God is your back up. The Christians here are your back up. The mods here are your back up.![]()
If you want to leave, then do it because you want to, but don't wimp out. No soldier in God's army is a wimp, right?

Hello - May I add something, andchristianmarine said:I am finally quitting this forum. It seems I do not meet the prerequisite intelligence or inspirational ideals to debate here. Though I help defend that freedom, it seems I am not smart enough to actually participate. Therefore, I will leave everyone with a goodbye. Though none will miss me, some will be glad I'm gone. God bless.
for what is Right. (like Adiya eloquently shared with you, too).
Well heck, neither do Ichristianmarine said:I am finally quitting this forum. It seems I do not meet the prerequisite intelligence or inspirational ideals to debate here.

Im sure many would be glad if I left as well (especially considering some of the outright mean things Ive said)christianmarine said:Though none will miss me, some will be glad I'm gone. God bless.![]()
Agreed, in more ways than one. And specifically re 'sense':corvus_corax said:Well heck, neither do I
O yes you are. Trust me, there are some on these forums whose actual intelligence (and common sense) are seriously in question.
You, I dont believe, are counted among their numbers.
For the most part that is true; yet a few of us *know* each other, for our track-record in life.corvus_corax said:Likewise, although some may be glad at your leaving, rest assured that some would miss you as well (including those with whom you've debated).
Rule #1 of forum debating-
Never (NEVER) take anything personally. It's never truly personal (despite things that may be said) simply due to the fact that nobody on these forums actually knows you.
There are a few posters on these forums that are unable to actually debate or defend their positions and when confronted with this they resort to nasty personal attacks. Recognize them for what they are and move on.sk8Joyful said:Hello - May I add something, and
hopefully it will encourage you to remain, here:
I have, personally, served in 'Medical-specialties' for 30+ (long) yrs.
I am not just 'bumpin' my gums', woefully ignorant as some posters here.
And 2, in particular, keep saying re me, personally: 'You can't understand/speak English'.
And 1 of these sad people, egotistical-to-boot, says: 'I'm in top 1%' of (whatever elitist Club).
Yeah, but you know what:
neither of these 2 wonders have a clue, how to help people out of a coma.
