I have posted our Presbytery's report over at GB. Admins and mods might take note that some of the principles enunciated there could be helpful on the PB as well.

Lane,
Could I get a PDF of this? I'm headed off to Presbytery right now.
Lane, I don't mean to sound cynical, but cutting through all the long words and quotes......
Is this saying that in the future, if a PCA elder says something that is exactly word for word in context what the FV says, and they sign a statement put out by the FV affirming error, that it is now a violation of the 9th command to write online that they are FV, because even though they speak with exact FV words and sign onto FV statements, they might not really be FV?
So, uh, from now on you can sound like a heretic and sign papers by heretics, but it is never OK online for others to post about how somebody said something heretical or signed something heretical, because deep down in their heart what they really meant was orthodox?
I was always under the impresssion that public teaching was open for debate in public, and Matt 18 is not required for such.
Am I overreacting as to what precipitated this report?
Something seems real wrong here, and I am not exactly sure what, but it sounds like a win for the FV. Not to say that a lot of the general concerns are not correct and well presented, but coming from your Presbytery, I wonder what is going on. I know you personally are solid as a rock so I'm sort of confused. Do you have a problem with the fact that people took statements that are identical to FV statements, and posted that somebody is FV, instead of allowing that deep down in their heart maybe they didn't mean it the way they said it? If that is slander, from now on how can we talk about what anybody said at any time, if deep down they might not really mean what their words clearly imply they mean? You may as well shut this place down and burn every theology book you own.....
