...which makes me wonder why, exactly, you removed mine. They were on-subject, non-disruptive, and, better yet, accurate.
Whatever makes you feel better, Kett.

I guess you never read the forums description:
Exclusively Christian Theology: This forum is exclusively for those who consider themselves Christian and consider the Bible to be the inspired word of God.
Do you consider yourself christian and consider the bible to be the inspired word of God?
and then in there is the first sticky that says new rules for that forum written in 2004 :
http://www.theologyonline.com/forums...16&postcount=1
And here is the part about non believers there:
Not room for sad witty mocking comments, sorry granite.Therefore...
The new standard for the "Exclusively Christian Theology" is to allow anyone to post here who considers themselves to be Christian and considers the Bible to be inspired by God.
Yes that creates a much bigger tent, but that's a good thing for healthy debate!
So... if you consider yourself a Christian and you consider the Bible to be the inspired word of God then you are welcome to post in the "Exclusively Christian Theology" forum.
Furthermore...
We are also willing to let any other unbeliever or follower of another religion post here if they are honestly seeking an answer to a question or have constructive input to the discussion. In other words... if an atheist has a question about God and he asks it in an honest, upfront way we will gladly deal with that question without booting him out of the forum.
"Around the country, progressive bullies have attacked Christians for daring to put their faith ahead of the pet causes of those who feign compassion while destroying life-giving liberties. What we are seeing is a scorched-earth, take-no-prisoners approach as the wildfire burns across our land. It is not enough that Christians be quiet. Christians must be silenced and punished. Their faith cannot be respected. Legislation that ensures people are free to live and work according to their faith without fear of being punished by government must be stopped and decried as discrimination...There is one key reason that those on the Left must force their beliefs on the rest of us: if they didn't force their craziness on us, we would never embrace it." ~Erick Erickson

zippy2006 has reported a post.
Reason:Post: What kind of reputation do i have here barbarian and anyone else who wants to respondThis seems illegal according to the precedent set by these infractions: 1) Calling someone an idiot, 2) Calling someone a Mega Turd, 3) Inferring stupidity, 4) Saying someone has an IQ of 45.
I do not see how "blovating doofus" is better than any of the above.

Original Content:Barbie is also a blovating doofus that likes to repeat himself. I don't see any substance in those posts.

Titus 1
For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped
Ephesians 5
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret

Zippy just made my day. That's hilarious.

Duh, zippy. It's not hypocritical "gutter sniping" when a mod does it.

Barbie earned it. He's always on the attack with his posts. Read the rules again. It's name calling without cause.Duh, zippy. It's not hypocritical "gutter sniping" when a mod does it.

I do call people names when it is earned. I do it sparingly. It has more impact that way.
Tambora (May 16th, 2016)
On the contrary. I was going by your definition of "gutter snipe":Barbie is also a blovating doofus that likes to repeat himself. I don't see any substance in those posts.
It's textbook by your definition. You made a personal attack rather than show how the poster was wrong. You "gutter-sniped". It's OK of course. It should be allowed and sometimes even encouraged. It's a part of what makes TOL fun; clever insults.
Reason was given for name-calling (of a non-poster to boot). Notice the argument at the end.
It's all in good fun, Inzl. It's clear that you'll do what you want while disregarding any semblance of consistency. I'm sure we'll all adapt and get a long just fine.
I cannot help if it entertains, however
