We have to be able to make statements like "I have a youth ministry" without trouble.

Please leave the "youth" issue alone if you have no reason to be personally offended. Too much of a fuss was made about it already, and the past is the past, and I've asked everybody to kindly move on. The SG who was offended has left the boards. The reason the SG was offended was due to some history. I don't want to drag anyone's name through the mud anymore, but now I am obliged to explain a little more because of your comments.

Years ago, when the person posted "the youth" this and that, he was a lot more clumsy, and was addressing and referring to youth who were SGs. So it was natural that they would be offended, especially by the "you people" tone. And it was only natural recently, that "warn the youth" coming from him, would end up being tricky territory.
