I did not mean to call any specific person shallow in any of the posts I've made.
These types of things are why I disappear from the forums every few months.
Apparently I have some issues that need to be worked out. How, I have no idea.
I just always expect this to feel like a safe place, and then it doesn't. I'm sure I'm as guilty of that as anyone. So I wanted to apologize. I'm going to keep my nose out of dating discussions because I'm really starting to think I'm a dating nincompoop and have nothing worth saying on the topic.
If I disappear again, I would appreciate any continued prayers that could be sent my way. Every time I think I'm feeling better, I unearth a new hotspot of pain that was buried somewhere.

That's the beauty of the forums - it allows us to discuss things that need discussed for ourselves.
I do hope you don't disappear again - we need you around here! 
Thanks for the apology.

losgan - I hope you don't disappear again. We'll miss you. Everyone says things sometimes that might rub people the wrong way. When I first posted here after a long absence, I foolishly got snarky with someone who was married and was raising a valid concern about eharmony. I'm not even snarky by nature - but at that time I had this mindset that if a person is married then they can't possibly know anything about being single. God used that to help me not be so picky about the messenger, but rather to evaluate the message to see if it lines up with the word of God.
We interact with each other, we disagree, we agree, sometimes we bicker a bit, we support one another. This is life and it is ok. Don't turn away (unless the Lord tells you to do it) ... just keep going. Part of the beauty for me of these forums is that it unearths all kinds of things that I would not have even known were there - then I deal with it (or ask God to deal with it in me) and ultimately, it helps me to grow. That part is priceless :)
Losgan, you have a lot to offer to the forum and there is a lot that God can do in you as well through the forum. I hope you decide to stick around!

No need to apologize at all. Opinions are never right or wrong (except for mine which are always right) they just are.
In these discussions we all learn about how the other half thinks and about how we think. There are times when we all (even I) have those "Oh my goodness! I've been wrong about this" moments. If you leave, who will fill your part to bring the rest of us around?
As long as we realize that even in heated discussion, we are all family here, this place will be safe.
(The OH has promised me that if I apologize now and correct the problem that it won't have to beat me up.)
Any statement I made that is correct was done purely by accident. I am after all only pond scum.
(It's so nice to not get kicked)

losgan,
Honestly, I think we are all shallow about some things. It's just that we are all shallow in different areas, allowing all of us to sanctimonious jerks on occasion. Including me. Especially me. You have no idea what I've deleted instead of posting.
And I, for one, like having you around.

Losgan, of course you are forgiven.
I was not offended by anything you or anyone else said in that thread. I think we disagree more politely in here than just about in any of the other folders. We do disagree, but it doesn't seem to get impolite and personal, here.

I've said so many things that were taken out of context that sometimes I marvel at the fact that I communicate for a living.
Ditto what the others said. We need you.

Logan,
No need to apologise because there are people here who will have difference of opinion. Some people here disagree with me and I used to get upset, but now, I don't let it phase me at all. I used to at one time, but I came to the conclusion that everyone grow in the Lord in different spurts, some can handle things, some cannot not.
But the best thing that you can do is to pray for everyone here because believe it or not, everyone, including myself needs the Lord's guidance and ask him to put words to post which will be edifying.

Uhmmmm....let's see. Shallow....shallow....shallow...where have I heard/read that word today??????
Oh! I know, over in the picture thread...the one where someone asked about whether one should ask for a picture sooner rather than later.
Is that your thread?
Anyway...I took no offense. I just mentioned the shallowness because when I first started on EH I thought I was shallow for wanting pictures. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it WASN'T shallow to want a picture.
So.
No offense. No need for an apology. We're good.
