Mods, why was The Barbarian banned?

[Kdall]

Well yeah....that's how this site is run. Just look at this thread. Those not on the right-wing Christian team have been referred to as scum and morons and nothing happens.

If that's the sort of biased site they want to run as Christians, that's fine. But I can't imagine they believe it gives a positive impression of the faith though.

You mean you aren't familiar with Jesus's teachings that anyone who disagrees with you is scum?


Come to think of it......neither am I

 

[Angel4Truth]

I'm sure glad you don't run the country.



You know, when you've banned everyone who isn't on your side of the bias, you're going to have a pretty boring forum.



I'd like to take this opportunity to thank TOL for being the catalyst for my moving from strongly conservative to a more left than right moderate, and even more importantly, for damaging my faith in Christianity. Since you're the owner of the site, I thought you'd like to know how influential the Christians on this site have been in my life.

Anyway, this place needs some balance so that's partly why I'm still here.

Why do you look at others who needed a Savior for your example instead of looking at Christ? Our only perfection is Him.

 

[Jose Fly]

Essentially I'm just looking for reasons to ban folks like Barbarian because he's done the same thing on TOL for probably 10 years or so. It's just a waste of effort.

Can't the same be said for Stripe and 6days? Haven't they also been doing the "same thing" for a long time?

Why don't you answer the question I asked you that you're ignoring on Topic of the Day?


Christ didn't advocate insulting people who think differently

Oh, puh-leeeze.

Go to any non-Chritian forum and post what I do and watch the unrelenting vitriol pour forth regardless of the rules.

And watch out when the moderator steps in; you'll be gone so fast your head will spin.

Anyone who whines about TOL's moderators is demented.

Because im busy here in this thread and in others that interest me right now, is that ok with you, princess?

 

[chrysostom]

He had a fair question, who the heck cares where it's posted?

Fact is, you banned The Barbarian for something that was totally tame, something you'd never have banned Stripe for saying.

what the barbarian is doing
is
definitely not tame
and
it is hard to describe what he does
but
it is definitely dishonest

As long as you get back to me, take your time cupcake. Tell Lighthouse I miss him, too

LOL! Well, I guess it just doesn't bother me much because I tend to look at things from a wider perspective, and I don't think running a forum this way is doing their faith any favors in the public perception department.

A classic example of the Darwinist's zero concession policy.

You cant tell him yourself?

Oh I get it! You want me to run a site where people come on and mock God and then you want me to wash their feet???

Sorry man.... aint gonna happen.

Oh I agree. I'm just a little surprised to see it here.

 

[Nathon Detroit]

I frankly don't care what you think.

This forum has been around longer than 99.9% of the forums online so I'm fairly confident we are doing something right.

 

[PureX]

Because Stripe tries to get people who disagree with him banned as often as possible, and he's often successful. Unfortunately.

Also, Granite shouldn't have been banned either. That was lame.

Yes, I've noticed that someone with the ban button has been on a tear, lately.

I got a reprimand, but to be honest, I think I deserved it. So I'm not complaining about that.

LOl... now all the sudden you care what the Bible says??

You're totally right. It isn't. The problem I have that you don't is that it's my faith, too

 

[Kdall]

Generally, I care about everything that it says that isn't clearly refuted. And even then, it serves a purpose as teaching parabolically

Turn the other cheek?
