Or, they didn't get your PM because you're on their ignore list. Fact is, I don't want to see the posts of a member who constantly post articles that falsely accuse Christians, so if I remove them from my ignore list to get the PM, they will be re-added to my ignore list. There's no point in that, right?

You're free to put him on your ignore list if you feel it's necessary. Just know that he has tried to reach out. Whatever he has to say is between you two.

Hello there Zema. I'm actually not agreeing with the article attacking Lecrae, nor are my intentions to bring him down in any way, and I'm also heeding peoples sensitivity to an excessive amount of Lecrae threads by posting in the proper threads overall. I hope you will come to see this is the near future. I understand your concerns and have taken the appropriate steps to correct any issue you may have.

Regardless of what has happened between us previously, I have reached out to you personally in a very loving, caring and respectful manner and haven't heard anything from you? We may not see eye to eye on every issue and that's alright. When you're around I do try and watch what I say around you so as not to get into any heated argument. It's never my intention anyhow to try and defend what I'm saying, but sometimes I've resorted to that to show you I don't mean any harm.

Honestly, if we were to meet you would see the passion for Christ in and through me, as well as a passion to treat the members of the body of Christ with the love they deserve. It's far more important for me to show love rather than being “right” on every issue. I'm definitely not perfect on my walk with Christ and want to continue growing in maturity as the years progress.

I've also never put anyone on my ignore list because I don't believe that's the right step in seeking restoration. I'm praying that somehow you will see this message and respond, but if you don't, well...just know I'm not angry with you and want the best in this situation.

Please accept my apology if I've treated you unfairly in any way, or even treated you in a manner that isn't worthy of how Jesus taught us to treat each other. In the future I'll do my best to address the situation between us a lot better.

Sincerely:
— Your brother in Christ.

I never said "I don't want to see the posts of a member who constantly agrees with articles that falsely accuse Christians". I said "I don't want to see the posts of a member who constantly post articles that falsely accuse Christians". I don't care if you agree with the articles. I don't want to see you posting them, so I have to put you on my Ignore List, so that I can't see it (unless I choose to click on "view post" because I assumed that post is about something I may need to see from the member on my Ignore List, like I just did --- this is very rare, though).

FYI, constantly broadcasting what you do that you think is right (don't use Ignore, always try to come at the person in a loving way, always apologize, etc) comes off very self-righteous. No need to point these things out. Just thought you should know.

Alright. Thank you for your reply.
