So, is there someone who doesn’t think your words and actions agree, or is this the whole Rom. I don’t do what I know to do – I do what I know I shouldn’t do conflict of flesh against spirit?

this isn’t about here. I understand perfectly that no response isn’t always a bad thing. I’m refering to face-to-face conversations or those similar to that. In blogging, I never expect a response and that would not sway me one way or the other in terms of content, as even now, I have about 6 topics piling up on me to blog about eventually. However, the perceived compromise of my integrity is not related, even, to the silent response in a face-to-face conversation, yet it is something I know to be very real, though I do not believe my integrity has been compromised at all.

Silence in response to a blog? Or silence face to face? Face to face a little “What do YOU think?” could go a long way. On here I’m not sure the remarks are always perceived as a conversation and thus perhaps not always responded to. I don’t think a lack of response should be interpreted as a compromise of your integrity. You say what you think. If you didn’t THAT would be a compromise of your integrity, not not saying what will illicit a response. If you want thoughts about a specific thing from a specific person, bring up the topic again to that specific person. Don’t assume anything. Silence can be golden, or contemplative, or confused, or any of a number of other things. Sometimes dialoging is just hard, like running through a mud hole, You have to just keep going.
