Hi everyone . . . welcome back from your Thanksgiving break!\n

Unfortunately, over the weekend I have had my first serious attack of what I would call comment spam<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I have a very tolerant approach to comments on this blog; off-topic comments, for example, are not generally deleted.<\/p>\n

I have decided quite firmly, however, that I will NOT allow this blog to be used to criticise anyone\u2019s character or behaviour.<\/p>\n

Even if we have direct proof that a fellow believer is a liar, thief, or whatever, I do not want to have comments here about those issues.<\/p>\n

Criticisms of someone\u2019s teaching, provided it is biblically based and not too emotive, will be permitted.<\/p>\n

As soon as comments arrive that are not written in a gracious manner, or which in any way criticise someone\u2019s actions or character rather than their teaching, I will delete them.<\/p>\n

Please pray that this latest attack of comment spam abates and things return to normal around here. I hope that I will not have to implement comment moderation prior to publication.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all of you who generally write such interesting comments (especially the ones by people who totally disagree with me!)<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend!<\/p><\/span> <\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
