Apparently you guys (Billy and Tye) can't participate in a thread discussing your own Impending Doom (tm) without arguing with each other.
I can't help but be amused. Also a bit surprised that people are actually distracted or upset enough by this sort of thing to complain. It's all just part of the noise that characterises any discussion board.
Billybob actually on occasion makes posts longer than 3 lines that are edifying, so he has value on the board. On the other hand, Tye serves as an excellent example of narrow-minded legalism, so he has a function as well.
Maybe making each other invisible to the other might do it. Although I would be surprised if either wouldn't be able to resist playing to the peanut gallery.
Or is this thread really more intended as a final, public warning before the axe falls?

Here's a suggestion...
If the :BillyBob: and :Tye: schtick gets really annoying, I'd suggest posters make use of the Ignore List feature.
That saves the moderators from having to police every post the two parties make and if people are perturbed, they can block the posts.
Regarding punishing inappropriate language, that's a job for the moderators, since it violates board policy. No easy way out of that one...

In the past week BillyBob has put completely off topic insults in many threads, and then of course Tye must follow...
I have to commend Tye for keeping his composure, it appears he has been working on his attitude. I don't want to see either one of them banned. BillyBob for obvious reasons, and Tye because he seems to be able to learn and take correction.
How about this:
If Tye or BillyBob start spamming threads with insults like, "Tye is an idiot", for instance, (if the mods are alerted) just delete the post. If they start getting vulgar, a suspension of Knight's choosing. If a post on topic gets filled with little jabs, just move it to one of the threads already laden with the like: "Is BillyBob a Christian" or "BillyBob's Statement of Faith". (both of those threads should be moved to the Back Alley if they aren't already there).
Speaking as a Mod, that was my best shot at trying to get two grown men to act civilized towards each other. Speaking as a mommy, a good spankin would do a whole lot more toward that simple goal.

:box:I'm guessing that most of the people it bothers are the 'Christians' who don't like my philosophies. They can tolerate a person who openly claims atheism and doubts their religious views. But it really ruffles their feathers when a fellow Christian questions their core beliefs. [That statement oughtta get me some flack] :chuckle:
On occasion???
:shut:
Tye couldn't be invisible if he was standing behind a barn. :freak:

About the time Tye starts to come around and make some good arguments as one who truly is concerned over where BB's eternal destiny will be, he takes a turn and starts reacting like a brat who wants to get the last word in or simply egg BB on. He knows that when BB is provoked, he is well known to be out of line in how he responds and in what he has to say.
I think deleting of posts is necessary in 2 particular situations.
1) Tye is not consistant in his attitude and so I don't see how he expects BB to take him seriously during the times when he does seem to be concerned. I've also seen other people, who are consistant with their attitude and arguments over the whole "what does it mean to truly be a Christian?" issue, actually keep a civil dialogue going with BB, only to have Tye jump in with childish responses that have sometimes put an end to a pretty decent discussion with actual civilized exchanges taking place. When Tye does respond in this manner, I feel his posts should be deleted.
2)People have responded on here with "Why don't you just ignore them?" Sometimes this is hard to do when one of the biggest annoyances in all of this is BB hijacking threads and turning them in the direction of Tye vs. BB. When this happens, I feel these posts should be deleted.

For the most part, I agree with this.
The part I don't agree is your opinion that the posts are simply childish to provoke him.
He has a tendacy to pull the thread off topic and my posts are directed at centering us on the subject so that he is unable to divert.
While I have made more than my fair share of stupid posts with him, most, in that thread are to provoke him and his gang into staying on topic.
If you feel that I am way off here, feel free to illustrate with examples, in context.

He's your Father too, you just deny your heritage.
