The Synergistic Pen

I interact with some people on a faith and religion message board. Its a very interesting experience. I've learned alot from them...and hopefully have been a blessing to them.

There are some who interact on this particular board who, for reasons of their own, seem to believe that everyone on the board is a clone of them. When they discover we aren't, this seems to be a problem for them. These polite, religiously rational human beings suddenly become frustrated with our inability to simply accept our natural tendency to question... (we question each other all the time, why can't we question others?)

About every 3 months or so, enter a new person who either gets along or doesn't get along with the group. If they happen to get along with us... for some reason, they become the target of those who didn't get along with us....

The usual complaint is... you've been absorbed by the "clique"....

And they begin to attack the "clique"....

Well, this morning, I had a message from someone who I've never spoken to before in my life... this person seems to believe that I've been lurking on another board, watching "them" and the one that they had recently ejected from their "clique" (we don't have cliques on OUR board)... is playinga game with us..and really isn't as spiritual as she wants us to believe...

the monologue went something like this..

"that bitch is a liar. she started an arguement with one of my friends and called people to get them to be mean to her. and now she wants to play the victim and has you stupid assholes believing she's some sort of angel." etc. so forth, so on...

I read this message twice...

I haven't responded yet, because I am not quite sure what to say other than...who the hell are you?

Oh, I could go on and on about how she's called this person a hypocrite...yet is behaving in a rather hypocritical manner herself...
or I could mention the irony of her handle... and how she wasn't behaving thusly...
or I could just leave it alone...prayerfully...

I'm really considering the last one...as thi isn't my problem...

all I know this... the young lady in question asks questions, is seeking truth, and knows how to interact in a mature manner with others....

I hope she works it out...
