Some of you may recall many years ago when Vic was Admin. Those were the very early days of the forum when Universalism was the topic that permeated the board.
FineLinen was very active and actually, hes a pretty nice guy with a heart for the Lord. I believe he is over at .com now.
After that, we had the Catholic, Orthodox and Athiests take over the board. Systematic theology started to take over the board as Vic assigned them as Moderators. Soon afterwards, it became a witch hunt to "keep doctrine pure".
As a Church of Christ member, I was attacked repeated times to the point I stepped down as Moderator and Judy, the other Admin stepped down prior. Vic stood his ground, but it cleared this place out.
That group started their own forum and they made it their duty to attack other online Christian forums like locusts destroy a crop. They were stupid enough to openly post their next exploit on their forum and brag about getting banned from "another" site.
It was only a matter of time when there were no more forums to consume. So they started consuming themselves. The leader was very head strong, and would not extend any grace. He held absolute scriptural truth.... he ended up alone on that forum and I think it's just a web page now. I havent looked in years.
I say this because I know what happens when one defines Christianity so tight they leave no room for another viewpoint and when we go over the SOF, we will try to give tolerable room for differing views.
Personally, I do not ascribe to OSAS, but I have found that most of them are pretty decent people. It should be obvious this will be addressed in our SOF, but what's more important, and what will carry more weight is our TOS which will have a heavy emphasis on how we are treated, and how we treat others.
Everyone currently on this site knows how to play nice in the sand box without compromising the truths you hold. I honestly think this is one of the best memberships and moderator groups I've seen.
