toldailytopic: Do you think TOL bans members too frequently, or not frequently enough
TOL Topic of the Day - Chime In!Every day we will post a new topic and we want to get your comments on that topic. The topic could be about literally anything from the vague to the specific, important or trivial. The TOL membership can take that topic and run with it!
This thread asks a question as if the problem is the frequency and not this damnable bias that pretty much ruins the experience for other posters.
There are ways to broach a subject. This board allows single-issue preaching but 100 threads about the presumed non-deity of Christ is like sandpaper. As soon as you act up, it is like pouring salt and lemon juice so of course you get banned. Change the subject or take the one-trick dog and pony show to an arian board where such a view doesn't get old-fast.
So yes, you are right. There is a bias. In fact there are a few favoritisms on this board. This board favors open theism. If I got sassy for disrupting the open theists, I wouldn't cry about it. I'd know exactly why my behavior wasn't tolerated. I am a 'guest' here. Rude, tenacious, undiscerning, etc. guests get bounced. Crying will not change a thing. You are always going to get bounced for rubbing people the wrong way, and seen as an instigator for bugging bikers if you keep walking into a biker establishment and ride and talk about a moped (or almost anything foreign made).
Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, forever. Amen. -Ephesians 3:20 & 21
1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became an adult, I set aside childish ways. - Let's at least work at it?

Blah., you keep talking about your little triangle. Trinitarians put up a thousand and one threads resembling the same thing, and they are all predictable due to the sheer repetition of the same old things over and over again. No original insight, no interesting context, just a bunch of 'proof texts' and bigoted bantering.
There was a pot who met a kettle

The end.
I don't know what your current fascination is with my posts, following me around and bashing me with your insufferable concept, but this subject has nothing to do with your archaic philosophy.
The name of this site is 'theologyonline'. People do not come here thinking that they are going to get treated like crap for having differing views, and so therefore, you all should cease trying to crusade the site. There is no real justification for the way some of you act., as long as one can admit what is so obvious, I wouldn't even have a problem with it. It's the dishonesty that is aggravating.
The site says its biased when you sign up. You didnt have to sign up.
Yeah, that's not really much of an excuse either for what some actually experience. It is not just bias, it is shameless spite and bigotry. The one who runs the site may be biased, but the funny thing is out of all the spite and bullying on here, he's the one who doesn't participate in it.
Speaks volumes, does it not?
But that doesn't bother you at all, does it? You, who begs for scraps, and framing utterances and lies, nailing them to the wall above your shrine of feminism and over-exposed, worldly convictions.
My grievances with other posters have come and gone, but you? You've just stuck right there right from the start which is why your contribution is something to pretty much be expected.
You can't defend something that is self-evidently unrighteous and then pretend that you are righteous.
I think that's the irony with you and a handful of other posters and is tentamount to everything I have said about your lot.
People should consider that when discussing a topic with you.
That I was honest enough to admit it after I did a lengthy search on the subject or the fact that the vast majority of them were between me and old Sod? Yes. If you're named Sod it's worth considering.

I'll tell my son, when he's old enough to understand, that the sort of people who find the upholding of an honor code "tattling" are usually the sort of people who like to violate it.
"That I was honest enough to admit it after I did a lengthy search on the subject or the fact that the vast majority of them were between me and old Sod?"
You want brownie points for admitting the fact that you are one of the top reporters of other members?

It' not honorable to be a tattle tale (Re 12:10). If I were an administrator, I would send you to my email spam box.

That is the best choice. When you report someone for something it says to the world, I'm a gangly dweeb, too unimaginative to defend myself.

That is supposed to be the Holy Spirit not the TOL administration staff (Mk 13:11; Lk 12:12).

I think it's fair (no idea what brownie points would amount to) to recognize that when the facts were against my perception I looked at them and brought them to the attention of people who would have had no way to discover the fact themselves.

It is honorable to report blasphemy or any serious violation of this site's code of honor (especially after attempts to instruct the offending party, assuming the best which is ignorance on their part)f If you believe the reporting option and/or the rules here are dishonorable you should petition Knight for their removal.

That's nice.

It must be, being your choice. You should petition the admin.

Given how you approach posts here I can well understand why that bothers you. Given you've been banned a number of times for poor conduct it makes perfect sense that you'd find it objectionable.
And thieves probably hate locks.

If you think Knight is sponsoring a usurpation of the prerogative of the Holy Spirit you should take that up with him immediately.

No, not really. But I can imagine you feel alone and isolated, then that paranoia sets in or something.

Wow. I wish you'd start a thread to stop all your arian friends from single-issue preaching.

Your's is rather large for such little company. You are going to have to throw out the rest of the stew.

Purely happenstance. I'm sure we'll ignore one another again soon enough.

Uhmm, then be quiet about it or take your medicine like a good little arian soldier?

Honestly? I still think it is the arians rocking the boat. Go look at my thread where I asked them politely not to post. They disrupted the thread like they do the whole board. On top of that, I personally think you perpetuate it as well, with your complaints. If you can't ignore those threads, you are playing the victim and contributing to your own frustration.

There might be some truth there but it is stated a bit vague, such that you could have very well had me in mind when you wrote it.
For me, this is one site I don't look for much coddling. I'm pretty sure you know what I mean. This isn't the 'feel - good' site of the decade but we value it for other reasons instead. I at least suspect we are on the same page with that understanding.

Hello. He's a "lawyer." That be like asking a teacher not to come on here and correct English at least once inawhile...
But I suppose I misunderstood. I had thought the general perception of my profession was one of dishonesty or at least of careful promotion and omission.
I find it telling that when I admit to something I know will be used against me and that I wasn't obligated to look into or provide that I'm "looking for brownie points". Had I failed to do so I doubtless would have been "hiding something."
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."
with you.
