If you don't agree with it, argue against it, but he is as much or as little of a moron as you are. Hell, even insult his beliefs (insulting Christianity and Christian morals also seems like a popular passtime around here), but there's absolutely no need to call the guy a moron.

There are ways to do things man, way that don't provoke this type of response. My response wasn't the greatest in the world, I'm not innocent here, but damn, if he said that in the wrong place he could expect a lot worse than 'moron'. Like I said this isn't about faith it's about respect. I don't mind people talking about their faith, infact I'm interested in it. I do mind, however, the second their beliefs become insulting. For example, someones political beliefs, I love hearing them, but the second those beliefs become racist, elitist, or biggoted, that's the second I stop them, this isn't that much different, is it?
I don't know, maybe I'm over-sensative over this religious thing as I live in a place that has seen that type of belief transform into violence, hatred and a terrorist war that lasted 30 years. I've had to witness Protestant murder Catholic and vise versa. My reaction is preset. Anyway, my intention wasn't to insult anyone but the poster and in retrospect it may have been an over reaction. I'll take my ban & move on, I'm clearly on my own here which makes me believe I was wrong.

I think the best way not to get banned from EoEO is this: any time you feel like insulting or questioning the intelligence of someone, just don't. We try to apply the rules as fairly and evenly as possible, but there's a lot of crap to police here. Getting away with breaking the rules isn't a matter of favoritism, it's a matter of luck.

edit: I think many of us sympathize with you here. I know I feel like beating my head against the wall half the time I read posts in the EoEO and EoTW forums.

Remember...its not a flame if you don't attack anyone. So just make it really offensive in general...works for :D

If you don't agree with the policies of this board then you are free to leave it. And if you're going to continue to be so egocentric and abrasive then I encourage you to do so.

And did he really say he damned you, or did he say that without jesus, you'd go to hell. Cause that's not really damning. It's saying his beleif. You should look a bit more carefully next time.

Is your answer to racism & biggotry the same? Just shrug it off? This isn't about someone's faith, it never was. Please don't post again.

Look. I posted! :tongue:

I do not think that way. Racism is pure hatred. But for you, you think I am an emotionless blob. Not true. You shocked me when I first came into this topic. What kind of person are you?

I fail to see the purpose or relevance of this belated wagon-jumping post if you take my last post into consideration. Nonetheless thank you for informing me of my rights officer.

You are serving no purpose but to idiotically enflame this situation. I'm the kind of person that won't turn a blind eye to your kind of people belittle my kind of people's beliefs in the name of your kind of peoples own beliefs. Moron the subject, if it is indeed your intention to somehow childishly aggrivate a reaction from me, it is known as entrapment, and it very well may make baby Jesus cry. Your posts here have been special. You have single handedly made a difference and it's too your credit. MarikTheYuke YOU'RE A STAR :love:

You need to get it out of your head that it matters what the other person said. You're like a teenager who wants to hang out late and saying, "But all the other kids are doing it!" It only matters what YOU said, and what YOU said crossed the line where the rules are drawn, in the eyes of the Staff. You are responsible for your own actions and your own words, regardless of what others do.

See...mocking the Staff and Former Staff is not really the best way to get your point across. It just reinforces our belief that the right thing was done.

I don't see anything constructive being added here.

Make love, not war!
