That is how people know who can be trusted and who can't...

Come on back, join the site. We would love to have you. If you like, you can resume the moderator's role or create a new Social Media group. I never had any interest in angering you. This whole affair was just one huge misunderstanding. I will take part of the blame for sending confusing messages. But I assure you that I never intended to do anything nefarious. As you can see from the site, which now has 6,300 members, there are other groups that have a ton of members, including IABC. Most people view IABC as competition to Ragan, and yet I have no intention of kicking them off. If you are willing, I'd like to put this aside and ask you to rejoin MyRagan and lend your considerable expertise to the community. Mark Ragan For heavan’s sake, Chris, let it go.

Very little of what he claims he asked me is true, except for the fact that he did email me about renaming the group - not about removing the logo. Please Mark, if this is true, just publish the emails to prove your side of the story. Again, he sent the email from an account called FRANK123 - I replied to this email on Sunday, when I also posted a response to the group on another message. Again, he deleted all this, essentially covering his tracks and no claiming whatever he wants without proof to back it up. And Mark, stop crying about no one approving your comments when clearly you had the same problem with Joe Thornley and others - choosing to position it as other people censoring you when in fact you just don't understand how to post a comment.

I remember the reason why a pastor friend of mine has stopped any marriage counselling work, despite being good at it: it's just too draining when both sides are equally right. In kindergarten we would ask the sandpit combatants to shake hands and make up; let us hope that in this new digital sandpit the grown ups find in themselves the ability to do the same. Hey Mark,
