Why does this situation remind me of Bill Maher's comment, "Oh, America, I could never leave you! You amuse me!!"
How can you leave a place with so many lovely nuts???
Some of them seem to have a special 'in' with some of the powers-that-be, however...
Tell you what, Aussie Oz. I'll promise to never poke the crazy people [with a stick - yet!] on any more of your threads, O-K???
Pleeeeze come back now, O-K????
And yet Alice/Spade/Consfearacy/Whatever-the-hell- it- comes-back-as-next-time........
continues to post absolute SHITE here with no repercussions.
Strange.......
Yeah that is strange, ain't it?
Oi.
You gonna leave the whole rest of us just coz of one Mod's behaviour?
Grow a thicker skin and stick around mate.
Mods ain't perfect either. If you disagree with them, take it up via PM and get it sorted without us heathens knowing about what happened between you.
We need your type around here.

I started that topic about a month ago also on the use of language by some posters. The point I was making was almost identical to Oz's in that certain language is irritating and distracting. The difference was that my focus wasn't on religious types. That topic didn't get locked, I guess it depends who you offend.
Hope you stick around Oz.
I haven't read the whole thread, but it seems that your thread got pulled without you getting an explanation.
This has happened before and the thread got reinstated.
Ask for an explanation, then sit back and have an imaginary beer with me, while we wait.
Cheers

Seems to me that Oz isn't complaining about the thread getting locked. Seems to me that he even understands how it had to be locked. So that thread is not an issue here. What he seems to be upset about is having a subsequent post deleted. I didn't see it so I can't comment on that.
But the thread that got locked is not the issue, as far as I can see.

If you don't come back, Oz, and I hope you do... then I hope the best for you and your wife and your children. Just keep doing what you're doing; showing them patience and love... and then be there to help them pick up the pieces if they go ahead and do their own thing anyway. (as they all tend to do)

Here's some LOVE for each and every one here.
Please, can we realize that we all have different personalities and try to stop the hate?
It hurts being here sometimes. This is supposed to be a place of support. I know that if we don't like something to ignore it and read something else. But what do we do when nearly every thread ends up this way?
Imagine how the board owner feels seeing this going on when he is spending countless hours making a new board for all of us to enjoy?
I am literally crying as I type this. PLEASE can we all try to get along, and if we are upset with someone, can we try the PM route? I am sure you will be answered, but it may take awhile because the mods here have things going on in their personal lives as well.
I used to brag to my Therapist how much this board is helpful, and how it was nice to be around others who have been through some of the same things in regards to being an EX JW, now when I see him and talk about it I am depressed. He couldn't understand how I could change my opinion, and see my depression change for the worse so I gave him the link here to the board so he could read things for himself, and after reading some things on here, he told me that he feels that is unhealthy for me to be here. That says a lot. How many others have been chased away from the fighting?
It is healthy to disagree, it is what makes us individuals. The way we handle it though shows who we truly are.
Patience.
Please
Please
Please
Is there really hate on this board or just a clash of personalities or a lack tact and graciousness or a few too many thin skinned folks or a few too many combative people? I try to stay out of the political/religious threads, they seem to be the most heated.
"A clash of personalities or a lack of tact and graciousness"
You hit the nail on the head. It is the way we handle disagreements, as it shows who we really are inside.
