I personally think you are doing both.
... and by the way, dave.... can you do something better than
just ripping off some websites? you think the peeps here don't have
internet access to read such stuff?
have you ever been in a situation where a kid behaves badly in
public, and you silently wished that someone will go and slap the
kid????
.... well I am that someone.
so when in the Bible it is mentioned that Judas hanged himself,
is it meant for you? if so, please do it quickly.
What dave can do:
1. Improve on your writing skills - this has to be a conscious
effort on your part. The PREVIEW button helps. Alternatively use an
on-line dictionary. I am not even talking about SMS short cuts, I
am talking about pure spelling error like: nex (for next), belif
(for belief) and many more. It is just too painful to read. Not
only that, what you write now is what you write in real life. Use
this forum to hone your writing skills (I do that all the time -
here, in SGforums, Straits Times forum, Today forum - yes! I post
there too, of course using my real name). Writing well is the first
step to being credible.
2. Stick to topics you can handle - Evolution is probably too big
for you. The moment YOU start a post, you are expected to carry-on
with it. Also, try not to quote for sources you cannot handle -
quoting from sources without personal comments is just going to
kill your credibility.
3. Read "7 Habits for Effective Teenagers" by Sean Covey. My sons
have either finished it or are reading it. This book will help
shape your life in a very practical way. You can buy this book at
Kino or borrow it from the National Library.
4. For the time being - do not depend on any one - you have started
this, live with it. Action and consequences are something that is
heavily emphasized at my home. Sweep up your own dirt, clean up
your own room, pick up your own rubbish.
5. Get involved in your church ministry - that's an excellent place
to pick up biblical truths and concepts. It will strengthen your
arguments here in your forum.
6. Be objective - as much as you dislike some people (me inclusive)
you are a host, unless the visitors become genuinely abusive, you
will just have to tolerate. Boh pian.... it comes with the
turf.
LIKE IT OR NOT, you own this forum. You have to build it up
yourself. Others can help, but don't factor that into your business
plan, when it happens, it's a bonus.
Have I been hard on you? Yes I have. Will I apologise. No! The
world is a harsh place, can't take the heat? Get out of the
kitchen! I do not believe in criticising without providing
practical points - read my points above, chew on them, and see if I
am right.
Hope you can do the ones which are nessasary for edification
