I wonder if he was making threads advocating homosexuality, if the most ardent detractors of these threads would feel the same, or just call anyone who opposes them homophobes.

Why can't Believer be warned of his actions and if he continues then suspend him for a month, a second offense, then 6 months? Then banning if it continues?
Plenty of warning and swift strong action that should apply to all.

Good points.

I must admit to having forgotten the Ignore feature. It's been years since I thought anyone was worthy of ignoring. I can't actually remember the last one.

He hasn't done anything other than be annoying.

He hasn't threatend anyone. He hasn't posted pics of men with a louisville slugger in their anus.

He's overzealous and annoying, but thats not illegal here. It would be nice if he'd choose to cut down on the threads, at least in number.

Bvr is not helping his cause here....its not the message, its the delivery that I find offputting, even as another religious person.

Its not unlike having some Mormons outside my door shouting at me all day after I've politely said "no thank you, I'm good here".....eventually, they're going to catch some wrath.

I voted "NO"...if I allow this, what next? Pretty soon you won't let me view my online Bible :p

For the record, I am a Christian/believer and I *do* believe in proselitizing. IMO, however, 99% of proselitizing is done by setting an example with the way you live...not by semi-anonymously telling people that they are sinners. With that said, there have been times where I have asked people "out of the blue" to study the Bible or come to church, but it is by far the least effective method. So I can't fault Believer for his effort, however misguided some may believe it is.

...and that's all I gotta say 'bout that.

That can be accomplished by all those who are upset with him simply placing him on ignore. I'm convinced that people don't do this because the they themselves want to fuel the fire.

While I'm technically in line with Stevie and Greg, I have to say, the group shunning sounded funny.


Group: "YEAH!!!!! Let's turn him into an Ostrich!"


























You know, ostracize him..... Ok, ok I need more coffee.

Well, there ya go. :D

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Good post!

It's the reposting of the same thread. Was the last thread not good enough? Go spam Yahoo! with that crap and get a larger audience. What would happen if he were a Broncos fan continuing to post threads about how great Elway was? What ever happens to Believer should happen to others that do the same annoying crap.

I voted yes, though I think banning is a bit strong of a punishment. I'd definitely vote yes if asked if his thread-making capabilities should be revoked.

Same here.

Ignore him; much like you're doing me right now. :D


















ingoring I mean.

Exhibit A: Believer hasn't shown himself to be able to think outside of black and white terms.

Exhibit B: Believer hasn't (to my knowledge) even conceded that he's been a jerk or inappropriate in any way at all.


I think we've all known someone who can't "take the hint". Lump that in with A & B and you've got a recipe for someone who isn't listening to our (reasonable and) increasingly specific requests for him to change his method.

End Result: Words aren't getting through, time to utilize some technological tools. Give him 2 posts per day, and he can reply or start whatever he wants. Do we have that feature?

He or she is a troll (and probably a regular in a halloween mask) and should be treated as such. It has nothing to do with religion.

man, uncool to bring race into this.





JK:p

Ahem, speaking of technological tools.

That, along with the fact he was deceptive with one of his thread titles, is why I feel he should lose his thread starting privileges. Let him have his one thread for his preaching, he can bump it when he wants and those who give a crap can read it.

:)

I laughed out loud at your sig! :)

give the credit to rainman, he said it. I laughed out loud to, so I thought I would share it with everyone, at least for the time being that the religion topic is still so strong.

I've got it, we need the "partial ignore" button. The full on ignore button seems the same as banning to me.

We just want things to tone down in frequency and fervor, and tone up in awareness and common senseness....it's like adjusting the "suck" button on a sound board. Do we have THAT capability?

I voted no only because I'm considering revoking thread starting privileges as a "first step".
