*shrugs* Maybe that Church who had this link in their bookmarks has a sense of humor (which is rare for any culture or religion followers to have)? Still, the whole site is extremely in bad taste and shouldn't be viewed by those under 18 years old. So I'll have to edit your post there, Wind.

Besides, don't you have something better to do than looking up some "big, bad, everyone-who-are-members-are-morons" Christian churches' websites and nickpicking everything posted?

I think I may have seen this link before... since the link has actually been removed I obviously can't say for sure. But it was so compeltely... cliche? For lack of a better word, that was obvious it was actaully a joke...

Did you actually just start out by pointing out a spelling error as part of your argument? That really only makes you look like an arrogant prick.

Trust me, I do that all the time.

Incidentally, this post has less to do with your link -- of which I couldn't care less -- but of your attitude and undue hostility towards Break. Just an FYI.

Judging by your response though, I suppose you've taken offense to my singling out a Christian-skewed story then? This is the kind of thing I'd expect more from X (on a misunderstanding level, not OMG DR1NK FRUM MAI CHALISS kind of deal) but not you. Aren't you supposed to be our resident repressed 'let's not offend ANYONE' member?


Firstly, I think I've outgrown that phase where I get overly defensive about Christianity when it's being criticized. Even if it is being attacked, it's been around for thousands of years. It ain't going away anytime soon.

Secondly, let's remember the target audience of this board. This is a Megaman board. It's a religious board, it's not a political board. And both have always been frowned upon.

If this is news to you, then you either have your head in the sand, or up in yer nether regions.

You single ME out for finding something offensive? IF it offends ME it has to be bad, you should know full well how hard it is to offend me. I'm a democrat, NOT a liberal. That means if I find something to be stupid, I will let it be known, but rather than say 'let's not fight' I'll say 'Let's fight but be civil about it'.


Or maybe because she assumed that it was the kind of topic that would quickly devolve into a flamefest. Maybe not on your account, but that's not relevant. A topic like this causing a flamefest is equal (or greater) to the chances of a living organism dying; It will happen every time. A moderator's job isn't to simply punish those who break the rules, or to stop rule breaking in its tracks, but also to prevent them in cases where it's rather blatant how things will end up.

Especially in an F-ing Megaman forum.

[qote]If you want to get technical, don't YOU have better things to do than exact 'authority' over a potentially meaningless cluster of data that multiple users have gradually created? Being a mod and disliking the idea that there's a set of Christianity; members of the church (One of THE MOST influencial groups out there) out there that corrupts the most innocent ideas to cause them to appear as evil to control its members. Which of these two activities sounds more pointless? Telling people to play nice or realizing that there are messed up people out there in what's supposedly the most holy community on this; and any other earth?[/quote]

If you want to get technical, isn't it spelled influential? There is likely a time and place for this sort of topic. Why on Earth do you think that a community centered around a 10 year-old robot boy in spandex is that place?

I think I make quite a valid point. IF you want to niCKpick, EVERYONE on here is wasting their time. I could be working or playing with my daughter, D.C. could be... doing whatever else it is that he does. X could be studying the bible (Or was it maceman that wanted to be the pastor?) in any case, you see what I mean. WE could ALL be doing more important things but instead we come here.


Must've been Mace that wanted to be the pastor, but I digress. It cannot be argued that, more than a Megaman board, this is a community. Nevertheless, there are some things which we cannot discuss, even if all of us wanted to merely because the rules are meant to protect a target age that is hardly mature enough to deal with things of a religious nature. Not having seen the link, I don't even know quite what it was. But past experience would suggest that it's far too much for the majority of the younguns on this board to digest.

Back on topic however, I didn't view the rest of that site so I wouldn't know the rest of it's content. All I know is that the page I had linked here was linked to me, and I recognized it from a church in California (A real one's) website.


In other words, you linked to a site without knowing the scope of the content on it and you're complaining that it was taken out? I'm not seeing your argument.

Quote:
In any case, you do whatever you want in retaliation. Block me, warn me, ban me, ignore me, WIPE THE POST SO NO ONE SEES IT and realizes that you made a stupid comment. But I've not gone against the rules here very bad. I have not undermined you, I have confronted you on a non-disciplinary related subject which is that of a genuinely idiotic comment, NOT your decision to remove a link nor to edit a post.


Now what about Break's comment was stupid, Wind? Was it the second part? Perhaps. Perhaps it seems rather silly. But Jesus, Wind. If that was your main beef, couldn't you have kept this to a paragraph?

Quote:
You have fun not having better things to do than to watch astroboy or make goofy emoticons because your so shy most of the time that even the internet isn't an irrepressed enough medium for you to play in. I'm going to go and not have better things to do than to learn from the mistakes of others.


Way to end the argument by being a dick. Really helps your side. I mean honestly, I was on the fence until now. But that clinched it for me.

Just for the record, the timestamp on Break's edit on your post and on the most recent edit of hers are separated by a span of 4 minutes and 20 seconds from what it says on the board.

I believe in letting a dead horse lay, and that's what this has become. You wanted this topic locked Wind, here ya go!

Shazaaa!

(In the future, if you think a topic like this should have been locked instead of how Break handled the situation, you know you could just delete your topic yourself. As a word of advice though, maybe you should look at your own words and follow through with them. I realized you offered an apology for how you handled your retort already to Break and I imagine you could have said much worse things; when you advocate fighting with civility and be anything but civil, it makes one question the integrity of an ideal by such an individual.)
