All these closed threads?

Why is it that all these perfectly good, rational threads are closed?
And always in Christianity? Why isn't free thought tolerated? The Christians have their little sanctuary where no one will question their beliefs, so why muck up the rational discussion here?
Someone brings up valid points against Christianity, and suddenly the thread is closed.
I'm getting kind of worried... what happened to free speech?

 

In most forums, this kind of multiple posting is regarded as trolling. I suspect the same is true here.

Maybe the guy went a bit in overdrive, but i don't see anything wrong with all his posts, i find it odd that there isn't more tolerance by the moderators.. in the end these are the hipforums not a boring regulated discussion board..

Don't limit a man's ways of expressing his thougts please.

 

Ahh. You're presuming Darrel is hip?

Only his hairdresser knows for sure.

i don't know if he was at all rational, but he was active & entertaining. it's like telling people who believe in the workings of the zodiac and paganism are all serial killers and baby sacrificers who drink blood and blah blah blah just because a few people were off being asshat sociopaths.

 

fed up can close his threads hes a mod...

 

ahhhh. tricky. if he didn't want anyone responding to his rants, he can just close the thread himself.

 

holy crap you're right... i didn't think of that! as he would say so often, "lol", though that is a bit rude and silly to post something and not allow anyone to comment... doesn't that defeat the purpose of a forum? how can anyone debate?

 

well i remember telling you he seemed teasing...funny , cos he still is the focus of the forum even though he isnt present... may be thats what he wanted.this proves that he is the winner lol...
and may ı boast that he honoured me by giving his mail to continue?
seriously, i want to communicate with him...perhaps he may be extraordinary...he is ruthless most of the time, but i feel some sort of truth in his posts.only what i am not sure about is his purpose...to stir up or to seek?
sincerety is the basis of decency...
actually, i do defend Jesus(pbuh)-not christianity- as well as i defend Hz. Mohammed.(pbuh)against anyone as far as i can...for we assume him, and all the other prophets, to be the brother of one another...but my jesus, is the jesus Koran mentioned, in fact!

 

personally, i'll miss him. i love obvious, easy fights.

and ottoman, that's likely because you're not a christian. would you so greatly enjoy johnny2mad and carry on a relationship? well, if you're like me, you probably would, because i love the cranky bastards.

 

it didnt' used to be like that.

there used to be quite a variety of members that posted here, not just christian haters, and we always had some sort of stimulating discussion going on. they were all chased off though, and now we are left with what we have today.

 

You ppl act like he's dead or something.. he was breaking the guidelines and abusing his mod status to do harm, as everyone knows.. y'all assume too much with your idle spectulation and gossip.. feeding the trolls is just as bad as being a troll yourself.

When ppl get hurt, it has to stop.. NO ONE has the right to harm the other members in here with personal attacks and monopolizing a forum and spreading hate. Joke or no joke it's bullshit and needed ending,.. else, where would it end.. bashing christains is the same as bashing gays or blacks or the Kawanas even. No one has that authority over another human being or even a specified group of ppl. It's all opnion based and everyone has a right to theirs as long as it does not stomp on someone elses rights.

You all may have been amused by his behavior, but some were not as fortunate, as it was aimed at them. His EGO is what took him down, thinking he was untouchable.. we all have someone to answer to for our transgressions.

If it was truely a discussion he was really after it would be drifferent, he was just playing games as usual, trying to be cute..

There are some things y'all don't know, like what goes on behind closed doors, as in harrassing pms and emails to the members and other mods. Sometimes you can't Ignore a problem esp when it's in your face.

We would ask for your support in matters like this, bc it is you whom we are protecting. Your right to believe as you see fit.

Learn and Grow

guessed you would think so...actually no,i wouldnt...if ı thought johnny was sincere, it would give the same pleasure...see i am a jesus lover so i can never stand some stupids saying he was the son of some prostitute,(hasha sümme hasha!) what a shamefull thing to say, and as johnny is talking about my prophet in a similar disrespectful way, i cant go on with him, never take him worth discussing...i only post him replyies for benefit of those who may follow what he writes, as a defence.actually i dont believe "fed " has problem with jesus....

 

Are you saying he was turned off SH. by the post(V) you made?
I was assuming he closed them himself. I see what you mean by him offending someone but Pat Robertson hasnt mentioned fedup, Who here could possable be offended. While I see most of his work being spam/cut and copy shit/. your right it was amusing. Now when MODs are at eachothers throats what does that say of the forum itself.

Some people like to ruin a good buzz.. idk.

 

It says that it's run by human beings.

 

Sssshhhhhhh!!!!! If word got out...

 

Are you serious?

Just to clarify, because I know xBNPx (ha, didn't notice that til now!) isn't as regular a user on this forum as some: if you read any of FedUp's longer threads, that weren't locked immediately, what you'll find is someone who makes a "look look controversial!" post to open a thread, and then accuses anyone who makes any attempt to counter it of being in denial, having a mind-virus, etc. The idea that this constitutes "rational debate" is, frankly, very hard to comprehend.

Free speech is not under threat here. Free thought is tolerated. If anything, freedom of speech has been eroded already. The forum rules ban Bible quotes, that is, citing the book upon which this religion is based. There is no equivalent ban on citing other sources. I agree that it is somewhat ridiculous that there is a "Sanctuary" forum here for "Christians only", since it effectively allows those like FedUp whose only interest is in spewing tired hateful shit into the main forum to do so with impunity and to claim that double standard exists when they are the ones largely responsible for creating it. The Sanctuary should not be necessary, because people of Christian and non-Christian identity should be willing and able to have conversations without every thread degenerating into abusive cyclic mulch as the result of a handful of users with personal axes to grind who won't let others be.

If there's a double standard in action here, it would seem to favour the non-Christians far more. The notion that Christians are trying to censor intelligent debate purely because FedUp's threads are getting locked - probably by him for the attention, btw - is totally unfounded.

 

hahaha

SC is so pimp.

 

FedUp was an attention whore who trotted out the same few tedious lines over and over again. Any valid point he ever made in the OP of a thread was little more than a red herring for the generic crap he always followed it up with. By the sounds of it he locked his own threads - probably to make it look like he was being victimised by the evil Christians, most of whom have shown him an incredible amount of tolerance despite his claims to the contrary - but even if he didn't, I don't really see much harm in showing him that his behaviour is not acceptable. He doesn't seem to respond to any kind of gentle nagging or otherwise verbal chastisement for being a dick - if anything he thrives on it - and pretty much every other forum I've used would've banned him ages ago. It's not an affront to free speech to let someone who seems determined to obstruct any kind of free discussion despite great volume of posts know that they're not welcome til they learn to behave themselves. FedUp isn't being prevented from saying anything that he wasn't preventing himself from saying already.

 

it's true i used to pust here ALL THE TIME. now i only pop in here when i want to be lightly entertained and get into a fight. *shrugs* it was pretty cool there for a while.
