We all want the same thing - there are no sides here - we are all on the same side. Ron didn't mean for anyone to take this personally I am sure. |

However, it doesn't alter the facts does it? Wolf, you make a valid point in your last post, but I do not think the thread should be deleted. It has created an awareness, I've been doing that for C S Lewis for the past six years, so thanks for your comments! In truth aren't you glad that Chris and Sarah are big enough to allow the world to see what goes on in POE? Honesty really is the best policy I think, don't you? And Paul, c'mon lets hear from you - after all you do play a big part with your pics that we all enjoy. Just sorry it will take a while to upload them again, but think about it and if you want to make contact via the POE form or by telephone, I will happily respond. Regards Ron |

You said yourself 'a line is drawn under it'. Therefore you have been recognized based on earlier posts. Stop worrying....it's finished!!

Diana Sinclair Posts: 10119 Joined: 3rd Apr 2008 Location: USA | Posted at 13:21 on 9th October 2008 I was introduced to POE via Ron Brind whom I met four years ago when I took his C.S. Lewis tour in Oxford. During the course of the tour it became clear to me that this man was not in it for any monetary gain but for the great love he has for his subject. Ron was VERY passionate and vociferous about his feelings, his ideas, and his vision for reclaiming the C.S. Lewis legacy and passing it on so that generations after us would not forget this amazing apologist. I knew then that Ron Brind would be just as passionate about anything he felt strongly about. That is why when I read his comments in this thread, I did not take them personally. I thought, oh boy, that's our Ron! LOL! Ron Brind is one of the kindest, and most sincere men I know. If he appears a tad too forceful in his approach, put it down to his great big heart which bleeds for everyone in need, but especially his family. A final word about this thread: For what it's worth I don't think it should be deleted either. That we are "working this out" amongst ourselves is a testimony to the love and respect the members of this forum hold for each other. What family doesn't have its disagreements? In the end, we don't really disagree about the subject, we simply need to express ourselves in less "heated" ways! |

Thanks Catherine, and no worries about anything. We all get a little passionate and emotional at times. We're just glad everything has been sorted out now. |
