Complaints about the mod in the Atheism Sub Forum

Quote:

This forum can be likewise viewed as a creation. It is only by allowing evil that it is capable of great good. Forum owners who try to disallow what they see as evil run into the same problems. They don't know where to draw the line. They blur the line between good and evil. Their actions often end up looking more like evil than good.

Off topic taunts that contribute nothing to debate are not allowed in this forum Aussie. So I've removed your taunt. People must play by the rules here, including myself Aussie. Curiously, you are the first on my subforum who has trolled a member, without also contributing to debate. As a Mod., you should know better.

Don't repeat the behaviour and do not respond to this message.

Why are you so insecure of your position that you delete posts (thrice) which highlight your hypocrisy? Am I not evil? Did God not direct these posts of mine....which you have been busy deleting? Were you also a robot, from birth, programmed to meet me here this night to delete my posts?

Concerning that ^^^^ post of mine.....I received this via PM from Sappho:

Quote:

Aussie. You have been given a link to the rules and I strongly advise that you read them and abide by them, not for my sake, but for the sake of the forum members who engage debate in my sub forum and who do abide by those rules.

Taunting the members and moderator in off topic nonsense will not be tolerated and never has been. The topic, 'The Problem of Evil', is not the same thing as 'Determinism vs. Free Will' which your post above is tauntingly addressing. If you want to discuss 'Determinism vs. Free Will' from a theist or atheist perspective, and according to the rules, then you are encouraged to do so by starting a new topic on the subject and not by interfering with the topic in which you posted that comment.

I should also point out that the topic you are seeking to disrupt has been on topic for the whole of the five pages and I want to keep it that way.

If you must seek to taunt and tease people and play nonsense games such as you are doing here, then I suggest you find another sub forum which allows such things. I will not.

I have removed that post above also.

Again, if you want to discuss this I am available now to do so in private messages.

I do not do debate via PM.

My post is right on the number. It seems Sappho does not like it.....tough.

Deal with my point in open, Sappho.

Off-Topic replies have been moved to this Topic.

They are "Off Topic" because they do not agree with your opinion..??

Silly.

Yadda, what has any of that got to do with the Topic?

Cheesy

You didn't explain what it was that you felt had nothing to do with the topic. Moreover, you are expecting from people what you yourself are yet to provide. There is a question in 'The Problem of Evil' thread for you to address before your questions stand any chance of remaining. That question to you is the same as your question to Yadda, except that, the question to you is clearly explained and not a 'naughty' and childish one liner.

Bottom line: If you want your question returned to the forum to be addressed, you must first respond to the same question that has been asked of you.

24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

Psalms 4:5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

Yadda,

I value you debate which uses religious text, but I do not value you preaching with religious text. I hope you can appreciate the difference. I've removed this post from debate and discussion.

Yadda,

Sappho,

I was responding to the title of the thread....

'The meaning of God'

with those bible verses, as an expression of what God represents, imo.

But 'Atheism' is your board Sappho.

Do as you wish.

Yadda's post is removed because it is preaching and no debating or discussing. Refer to complaints thread to see the original post and my comments.

FFS, he is a Christian, this is a thread about the meaning of god. If a Chritian can't cite Christian texts on a dicussion about the meaning of god, where can he?

Get a grip. Or rather, loosen that grip. It's choking the discussion.

Gotta agree with that, Sappho... Or are you more than an atheist? Are you a closet anti-Theist?

Rule 9. Religious preaching is not welcome. Religious preaching is not the same thing as debating matters found in religious texts.

There was no discussion or debate attached to the religious text, therefore it was preaching and only preaching. Yadda has since explained what he meant by putting those religious quotes into the thread. It is a pity he did not do that when he was creating the post. Moreover, Yadda is an articulate and valued member who is expected to use his own voice, which is a sound and reasonable voice, and not merely that of the bible to express his views.

I'm not stopping Yadda from using religious text, I'm saying that it must come with discussion to explain it being there, or that it must be used as a justification of claims being made. But stand alone religious text which speaks more to righteousness than it does to the meaning of God, which surely is more encompassing than that, looks like and feels like preaching.

Moreover, just because we can assume it's purpose does not mean it was put there for that assumed purpose. Clarity gentlemen. That's what I'm after and Yadda is an articulate and reasonable person who is more than capable of clarity.
