Dr. Steve comment: "a BattaBOOM" ? - *W.T.F. So much bile from TWW commenters over the years

So Dee writes this quite moving post regarding the suicide of Braxton Caner  [ Ergun Caner's son ] and the apology of J.D. Hall.  who had a brief interaction with Braxton on Twitter a couple of weeks before Braxton's death.

Dee's post is thoughtful and lacks snark, sarcasm etc.  She said she was going to close the comments but forgot  before two were written.

So, to recap, you have this post that begs people to let go of the Caner/Hall controversy, the whole issue of a young man's suicide and then the very very first comment is from "Dr. Steve" who writes:  "ABattaBOOM"

Well I don't know who "Dr. Steve" is but *W.T. F. is that comment?

And that has always been one of the bigger problems with WartburgWatch.  Dee has allowed people to write absolutely outrageous comments seemingly without any pushback [ except against me dryly -]

There are some really bitter/angry people who read and respond on T.W.W.  I truly believe that is part of the "bitter-fruit" of Dee's "discernment blog."

* = fudge

"DEEPLY TROUBLED"

I've come to hate that phrase.  It's way overused by those involved in virtue signaling - victim blogs, discernment blogs, etc.

Any time you see that phrase - take a big breath; you're about to see someone get slimed.

Survivors; do you want revenge or do you want to be whole.

You can't have them both.

Phil Johnson nails it.

Do survivor blogs and "discernment" blogs actually help anybody or do they encourage further bitterness and resentment?

I think it's the latter.

Insightful comment

I can’t bring myself to look at TWW either. In years past I saw the most mocking remarks towards Calvinists I have ever seen in my life at that site. I am a Calvinist. I love Spurgeon, Lloyd-Jones, Iain Murray, and so many others. If WW is criticizing Mohler for mocking fellow Christians I hope they can remove logs from their own eyes first. The cracks about young earth creationists there, or people who believe in biblical male leadership in churches, well, that site was like a sewer pipe of mockery. Been a while since I was there so maybe the tone has improved, I don’t know. But they hold the prize for mockery IMO.

TWW dislike Al Mohler more than ever,
