Eon said:DV - I have a rule in debate I call "Play the ball, not the man." - how I would have handled your Bigotry situation would have been to tell the guy that his behaviour was biggoted, but not call he himself a biggot. By suggesting someone's behaviour is at fault, you set up a discussion wherein that behaviour can be modified without criticising the person himself unduly. If you call him a bigot you're saying that he is essentially at fault in himself as a person - there's not many places to go from there!
Genesis1315 said:DV - I am sorry for using it as an example so much, but it has been such a prime example to counter those who say I close threads that I disagree with or don't support or have philosphical problems with or whatever. Your thread was a bit....ummmm.....different to say the least. In all honesty, I found the thread to be a bit bold. And, if you were a Christian, we probably would have had some PM's going back and forth over it. But at this point, it is still open. Sorry if I have made you feel uncomfortable referencing it.
That leads me to a question though...I do tend to be more lenient with those who are non-believers. Not in respect to the ToS, but is the nuances of posting and treating others with love and respect. I can hold all members to the same standards, but they will be Biblical based standards. Does everyone want that?

Genesis1315 said:Okay, PC aside DV...Coming out and telling a Christian that they are supposed to give you money really missed the purpose of charitable giving among other things.
My intention was not to make anyone feel uncomfortable but really to be fair. How can I expect one who does not follow the Bible to live by Ephesians 4:32 or any of the other passages that dictate Christian living. I apologize for any offense. I have tried to respect that others have differing opinions and belief systems. One may not follow the Bible. How can expect that one to understand then why I would not allow him (generic) back on the boards until he apologizes for an offense.
Ultimately though, it is up to you. I can treat everyone the same. And the standards will be based by those set forth in the Bible. Just let me know what you want (and it has to be the same for all)
