Proverbs 12:16
The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.

It's a sad way to start 2026, but it is necessary for me to do so. I can no longer ignore this frustration.
For the majority of you this blog post will not be for you, other than a reminder to consider how you treat those you call a friend.
⚠️⚠️⚠️This will be posted on MeWe and on my Blog.⚠️⚠️⚠️
The time has come for me to say something publicly, although it will probably be ignored by the ones it is addressed to.
No names, and this problem is in email transactions, not here on social media.
To each individual being addressed here, understand that you are not the only one doing it. The problem is cumulative. I don't have time for it, or to sort out the needed emails from the bombing run of spam emails.
Studying the word can be exciting yes, but drowning a friend in a flood of spam of links to things I have no time for, have no desire to lose my focus on Christ over, does not constitute a relationship or a personal conversation.
I am not a quota to be met in your "work" for the Lord, and I am not responsible to do your footwork on study topics that interest you. I am not a kiosk available 24/7 to frame and interpret. I am not on "YOUR" schedule.
To the individuals I am addressing, who I have asked repeatedly to stop sending me all this stuff, and that I am only accepting actual personal conversational real-life emails, I am declaring that all of that stuff goes right into the trash bin upon receipt.
That you have doubled down and sent me more after asking you not to, or blatantly ignoring my wishes at the least by continuing to send the stream to my email address, can only mean that you do not respect me or my feelings. So, your feelings as a result of this post will be ignored also.
Since I can't unsubscribe from your feed, and I am too entrenched in that particular email address to close it, and therefor any access to my time and energy that seems to be taken for granted, I have to become that which I don't to want to be.
I have decided that I can't block you, since you might have a legitimate personal email that I need to see and respond to. This makes it all the more an insult to our relationship.
Posting this here is my controllable option, since I can't seem to reach you directly when I have asked many times for you to stop. Perhaps if you see this post and read it and take it to heart or at least take offense to it, we can move on from this.
