it just appears to me that this forum sorta goes like this.....
mod - "this personally offends me so i'm going to take it way too seriously and lock the thread"
If this were the case.....ummm how do I say this.... RD would have been closed a long time ago. Personally, I am offended by a lot of the repsonses here. Not they are attacks against me directly but against the One whom I love dearly. But, the threads do remain open.
It really amazes me that people think I am being petty. Wow. I enforce the rules and ToS and I am petty. hmmm, going to have to think on that one....
Now, the list I provided is not the Gospel according to Gen. Most of the offenses really could be lumped together as ToS violations, but in the interest of clarity, I thought listing them out would be best. While I was a part of making the rules for CGA, I was not the only one and ultimately Tek approved them.
why is it so wrong for people to get into heated and spirited debate and discussion?
if something doesn't burn down (ego,pride?), then good things cannot grow in its place.
again, let me reiterate, the reason that spirited debate is not freely occuring here is because it could not be completed in a way that did not violate the ToS (more times than not)
if you can't remain neutral while moderating, perhaps a new area of helping should be found for you?
Wayman - you are pretty new here. Please do not make presumptions like this at this time. This is also to others here that would think the same things. If I must be honest, I actually give more leniency to non-Christians than I do to fellow believers. The bar is much higher for those who have accepted Christ (regarding behaviour)
Right now though, everyone needs to follow the rules.
To those who are going to respond to my posts, please read through everything thoroughly. I have repeated myself many many times over the past week and would like for this productive conversation to move forward.
