1) No time to be effective moderator doesn't mean need to close
forum. There are a few things you can do
a) Appoint new moderators to help you
b) Request Jason to make this into a public forum and let him
appoint new moderators
2) Activities make it unpleasant for you to visit the forum and
thus the closure? Is that any different from the "closure" of
Pumping Iron? Is it worth it to close a forum just like that? Is it
that hard on you when people do not accept your faith? If you a
true believer, how would that affect you?
3) You have started this forum as a gathering place for christians
of SgF. By closing the forum, you are depriving them of this
wonderful gathering place you have once created. The problem here
is, do you think it is right for you to destroy something because
you created it? Other than the feelings of the moderators, how
about the feelings of Christians? By closing a place where you
share your thoughts and views about Christianity and God, isn't it
considered sinning?
A Church is for Christians to gather, to praise God, listen and
accept the teachings of God. Similarly, this forum is for SgF
Christians to gather, to talk about Christianity, and to spread the
teachings. Closure of this forum would be almost the same as the
closing of a church. God teaches you to extend your acceptance,
patience, and love to others. Surely you can brush away unpleasant
events in this forum and not let it affect the existence of this
forum.
Those are my initial thoughts when I saw this news. Thanks.
