I think I speak for many in this forum, that the ongoing personal war
between Mr Cobb and Mr Green reflects a situation that is anything but
Orthodox in spirit. Many are seeking news and articles of the Orthodox
world
that may educate or spiritually nuture the reader.

Instead we are constantly especially in the past few days have seen
hatred,
jealousy, personal agendas, and overall a general lack of emotional and
spiritual maturity. For any newcomer or someone seeking information of the
church, they find this war of personal hatred that is contrary to the
teachings of the church and the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ.

I feel that if either or both parties can't be civil, and try to reflect
the
values and teachings of the Holy Orthodox Church, they should cease
posting
and move on to the Church of Satan forum because that's the values they
reflect.

In other words, grow up and stop being an embarrassment to everyone and
the
Church.

I entirely concur. Both men have literally scandalized the Church of
Jesus Christ before the world for the past several years. Their
behavior is a disgrace and infantile.

Mr. Green's childish assertion that he will only comply if Mr. Cobb
follows suit is so infantile it puts one in mind of the children on any
school yard. "I'll stop yelling names at Johnny, if he stops yelling
names at me!"

Frankly, both men need to push away from their computers, from this
newsgroup and grow up.

Even Satan would be embarrassed by their antics. The hallmark of the
Father of Lies is his sophistication. These two would be disowned by
the Devil because of their idiocy.

I concur, and have taken a proactive solution. I just used a "block
sender"
command in my Outlook Express for both parties. Now I do not have to
witness
any further battling because both names have been blocked from my
reception
of any of their newsgroup posts. If enough people do this, than they
are
only posting to each other, and their efforts will be in vain because
they
will be the only one effected by this ongoing war.

Try it!

Green wants a truce, 10 paces with dueling pistols. I'll bring the
pistols - where and when?

"A characteristic of those who are still progressing in blessed mourning
is
temperance and silence of the lips; and of those who have made progress -
freedom from anger and patient endurance of injuries; and of the perfect -
humility, thirst for dishonors, voluntary craving for involuntary
afflictions, non-condemnation of sinners, compassion even beyond one's
strength. The first are acceptable, the second laudable; but blessed are
those who hunger for hardship and thirst for dishonor, for they shall be
filled with the food whereof there can be no satiety."
St. John Climacus, "The Ladder of Divine Ascent," (Boston: Holy
Transfiguration Monastery, 1978), Step 7: On Joy-Making Mourning

May you both (and thereby this NG) find peace in the coming Great Fast.
We
all must recognize that the enemy taunts us at this time each year. It
would be a blessing to this group if by Forgiveness Sunday we could read
posts from each begging the forgiveness of the other.
