I've never written to a forum before ...

I've met him in person. He wears the wig and the 1700s clothing. When Edwards goes retro, he *really* goes retro.

Welcome!

It took me a while to realize who you were! You're not using any screen names that I recognize.

I made a hello (aka ni hao) thread saying who I was. I'll put something in my sig, since others will probably not know either.

[little_tigress]

I like your sig, Helga!

[Wren]

Thanks!

What's a Calvinist? (Backwoods heathern asking)

Someone who follows the Doctrines of Grace. SHAMELESS BLOG PLUG!

Do you wear a powdered wig IRL?

No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn.

That series really helped me so much to understand Calvinism. I don't remember if I ever told you that and thanked you for writing it!

Why yes you did, and I'm glad it did, that's why I wrote it.

[insert not funny "predestined to like it" joke here][/not funny]

Hey, the last place I worked at as an employee was a ministry in the Cincinnati area. That year's Free Will Baptist convention was in the area, and they came to the ministry to tour the facilities. The jokes were just as lame for them as for Calvinists.

How come some people got colors in their names, like Shari and Gohar?

If you look down at the very bottom of the forum's home page, there's a Legend that shows what colors mean. Global Moderators are green and Site Administrators are red. So far there are two site admins: "admin" and "Wesley." Admin is the generic default account that is used to post official rules and whatnot. Never an interactive account. Wesley is me, derr, and I do all the nasty, icky hacking in the background to make the forum work right.

Little_tigress and Ethnog are the only two moderators on the forum. They can handle tasks like reports, moving threads, approving queued posts, and etc. We're keeping the moderator team as small as possible. I think a proliferation of mods is usually a bad sign on a board, but that's a philosophical discussion that would probably put people to sleep. The goal is a group of peers, with little official moderator oversight insofar as people are willing to read, understand, and live by the very small set of rules.

So you had a simple question, and I just gave you an enormous and long winded answer, most of which had nothing to do with your question. But it's me, so you're used to that.
