I really don't think it's appropriate to be picking on the poor guy. If he annoys you that much just ignore him. I do it all the time around here.

Same here, Dena. He is young, and IMO, harmless. My preference would be to ban people whose actual intent is to bully and spread hatred.

For the record, the arrogant, condescending, hateful bullies are the ones that I ignore, usually.

I was actually just wondering about them this morning. No joke. I am very curious about them. I suppose I could look on Wikipedia, but it is so much more interesting to read people's thoughts here if they have something to share. So...anyone know anything about the Salvation Army?

I traced William Booth (the founder to The Salvation Army), through Methodism, through Jacob Arminius (Arminianism), to Pope Gregory I, whom John Calvin (Calvinism) admired. Calvin believed that Pope Gregory the Great (540-604 AD) was the last good Pope (Catholicism).

In other words, I am looking at the relationship between Catholicism, Arminianism, Calvinism, Methodism, The Salvation Army, and anybody else that I can connect with, logically or spiritually speaking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Gregory_I

The Salvation Army was founded the same year that the Civil War ended: 1865. As the America was ending their Civil War, the Army was launching their own war onto the darkness of this world.

They say that The Savation Army co-invented the donut, and that they are doing more good than all the other charity organizations combined. Theologically, they say you can lose their salvation.

steko · January 27th, 2011, 07:14 PM

Hey, Joey, Vegas!

I got a tract from Last Days Ministries in the early 80's entitled "Who Cares" which is a paraphrase by Keith Green of William Booth's vision. It inspired me greatly as a new believer to want to be used of GOD to reach the lost.

It's too bad that *you* aren't sorry for this ridiculously mean-spirited thread, Chrys.

After all of the threads that YOU make which are nothing more than cheerleading for the Republican Party, whining about the mistreatment of Catholics and complaining about women having actual ***gasps*** rights, you have the nerve to complain about others.

Here's an idea: Practice what you preach, put Joey on ignore and quit with your incessant whining.

Bully.

Granted, Joey's style is perhaps too Beckett-ish for my tastes.

He posts a lot of cryptic, apparently meaningless stuff. Ambiguous posts, that might or might not make sense interpreted in a certain way.

But he still posts lots of puzzling, simple but damn good questions in religion threads. He makes real contributions. I'm against the ban.

JoeyArnold · January 28th, 2011, 04:06 PM

Sometimes cryptic stuff is quite zen, sometimes it's got deeper meaning and sometimes it's just some dilettante scribbling random gibberish.

Why are you so against my Oatmeal and Ramen noodles of joy? With oatmeal in my bowl, is Jesus in your soul?

I would observe it is you that is daft. To think you have a right to tell someone they are worthy of being banned, because you object to reading what they have to say while admittedly then saying you are not mature enough to simply ignore that which you find objectionable and then claim that presumptive right is the same as would be afforded to you in your own house, is ludicrous.

Grow up. Adults know, you don't have to read anyone's post.

Stop reading those members you don't like. Instead of thinking you have a right to have those members you aren't mature enough to ignore, locked out of what you erroneously see as your house, because you aren't capable of simply passing them by without a second thought.

You believe in freedom of speech. Just as long as you agree with what's said. That's the point you're making here. As is everyone else who thinks someone they don't like to read should be banned, because they don't like that what's written and aren't capable of ignoring it. So instead they want an authority figure to do the work for them. By banning Joey. Who's just as freely entitled to his opinion as you are.

It's an incredible opportunity to see who you are in all matters, when something like this silly issue will cause you to be so small and yet believe yourself to be so entitled.
This isn't your house! YOU don't have to be here. That's as easily said as what you and others are saying about Joey only you're going to the extreme of saying, he should be forced out.

I doubt in real life anyone feels comfortable in your house.

Which I didn't do, but don't let that stop you from working up a full head of outraged steam.

Quote:

Nope. My point was aimed at your declaration on principle and not at Joey. That is, your posit regarding a mature response seemed to me to be demonstrably wrong and that was the actual context for my answer. You're overreaching.

Quote:

while admittedly then saying you are not mature enough to simply ignore that which you find objectionable

Was that before or after I admitted to poisoning the Czar?

I think the way to respond to the objectionable depends on the nature of the statement. If someone says something that you disagree with but that is within the rules then the appropriate response in a forum is to disagree. If someone says something that violates the rules the appropriate response is to make them aware of it and then if they persist to object more formally.

If they persist then they'll be tossed into a time out, which is the point of rules of conduct.

Quote:

and then claim that presumptive right is the same as would be afforded to you in your own house, is ludicrous.

What's ridiculous is your reading a general statement of principle as something other. You might need to take a few breaths, work on your perspective and loosen up a bit. No one here is actually trying to ban Joey or even petitioning for it. You need a better understanding of how things go here.

Quote:

Grow up. Adults know, you don't have to read anyone's post.

Oh stop acting like the adult police and smell the irony in your outrage.

Quote:

Stop reading those members you don't like.

Stop telling other people what to do. It isn't helping your faux point.

Quote:

Instead of thinking you have a right to have those members you aren't mature enough to ignore, locked out of what you erroneously see as your house, because you aren't capable of simply passing them by without a second thought.

How you can be this wrong on every single point is amazing. Nearly a mathematical puzzler.

Quote:

You believe in freedom of speech. Just as long as you agree with what's said.

Not even remotely true, so you're being consistent.

Quote:

That's the point you're making here.

Well, no. That's you running in the wrong direction with the football. It's nearly Greek at this point.

Quote:

As is everyone else who thinks someone they don't like to read should be banned, because they don't like that what's written and aren't capable of ignoring it.

Seriously, stop it.

Quote:

That you didn't and don't get the subtext of this thread and didn't apparently realize my criticism was aimed singularly and not at Joey justifies its existence for entertainment value alone.

Quote:

Other than annoying you (which, IMO, is a good thing), he hasn't done anything worthy of being permanently banned.
