Perhaps biblical studies carnivals and biblioblogs are not connected. I think too much is assumed. I was not even aware until recently that you were the person that one emailed to host a carnival.

I have said enough.

I do recall your asking me to host a series on the BBB on bibliobloggers one summer. I did this, in fact. If I did not host a “biblical studies carnival” in the appropriate way, it was from ignorance rather than lack of will. As I mentioned my personal blog has never been listed as a biblioblog.

Thank you for stating openly your support of the egalitarian paradigm. I don’t know if I will ever recover from living within the complementariarian paradigm for so long. I don’t think there is any place for surivivors in this community.

I appreciate your goodwill. It has been nice meeting you online.

I have to admit that I was ignorant of the practice for some time, but used my hen scratches posts to honour other bibliobloggers, including yourself, John HObbins and many others.

I did make an offer in a blog comment last month, but I withdraw it today, since Jim posts,

“I’m sure that all sent Suzanne M. into an apopleptic fit”

My personal blog has never been blogrolled as a biblioblog which has put me in an slightly ambiguous position. However, that ambiguity is now over.

I have good memories of some bibliobloggers but overall it has been disappointing to be part of a group where some link positively to an article on the need for a husband to assert his rule over his wife. I need to move on from that part of my life. I cannot remain within a community which approves of this treatment of women. \

Hey Jim,

I would agree that there is no overall bias or unfairness. That being said, we are all biased and opinionated (that’s why we have the chutzpah to write blogs! ), and I just think it is always a good thing to try to be as inclusive and inviting as possible. Perhaps that’s the “Canadian” talking in me! Cheers… Tyler.
