knew about this place (RF.com) from a friend or just happened by?

Came with intention, not sure why I stayed since I dropped it.

 

[Malus 12:9]

Actually, why I stayed on is mentioned in Romans:

"Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope (Romans 5:3-4)."

Thanks Feathers... I just had to put a few bigots on "ignore" and the whole tenor of the place changes! I decided I wasn't going to let a couple of chronic abusers run me out of Dodge.

Before the site even opened, Rex was advertising on VeggieBoards.com (and some other forums as well) which I was a member of at the time. So I came over to check it out... and I'm still here.

Hee hee hee! I'm not keeping any secrets! Ker Krypter was the one, but he was banned not too long ago.

But I got to stay for good behaviour! :biglaugh:

As was my referrer, Kowalski, a dear friend.

I found a link here from http://whistlestopper.com
I don't remember who posted it, but I'm glad I clicked it.

Geez, I haven't posted there in forever and 1/2.

Someone on another website gave me the URL. She was on MysticWicks.com.

I was a regular contributor at another similar BB ("Christian Discussion" - now defunct), when it almost overnight went belly-up, with no real explanation. A couple of members there provided a few alternate BB's that they considered of comparable quality and character, and REF was one of them.

I'm pleased to say that they were dead wrong. ;-)

Overall, REF is far superior in it's broad range of membership/contributors, content, innovative board features, and (dare I say it?) top-notch "staff" of moderators. Heck. I was so impressed after just a few days, I chose to become a monetary supporter of the forum (putting my pittance of paltry coin where my virtual electronic bombastic mouth is...).

edit: a caveat; I have been practicing singing Low notes, and the best songs for that are Negro spirituals; sometimes, the mantle of the characyer I assume for the singing takes me over. I have worked my way through 'River stay away from my door', Vermeo, oh Romano (An eriskay love lilt)- russian so not Negro, but all to the accompaniment of Paul Robeson - He da Real singing man.

Wow, it's been a while since I first came here. I began my postings on some martial arts forums, but ended up arguing about taoism more than martial arts. So I decided to search for some religious forums, and found rex.

well i had been to a handful of forums and really couldn't find the intellectual stimulus or the overall community that i desired so i just googled until i came across RF:bonk:
