Just Because We Disagree With Someone Doesn't Mean They're Not Welcomed

    Hey Simon whatever happened to that new Contact a mod now button?

    I posted those humourous-but-with-a-point e-mails because at first this looked like a "reformed Witness" group. My mistake. This is a typical Christian group trying to troll (chum?) for XJWs that they think are easy pickings as long as they use the name Jehovah.

    I would like to point out that a lot worse has been done to me on this board (in terms of name-calling, disrespecting, etc.) so the next time I'm called, for no good reason, a cowardly, illiterate "arrogant sob" by a longtime poster, I expect some of you on this thread to spring to action defending me. Or not :) Don't need it, but I guess I need to ask, how long do we have to be here before it's OK to flame our pajamas off? Once we reach Master, is that the demarcation point?

    Like Armegeddon, it will come any day now ... just around the corner ... keep on the watch etc... LOL

    Seriously, part of it's done. I just (about an hour ago) did a few updates in preparation for it and just need to do the front-end stuff now.

    I hope it will make a big difference. One thing does 'irk' a bit sometimes is complaints posted that moderators haven't done something about a post that no one has thought to tell us about (at least give us a chance!).

    We can disagree without being disagreeable, right???

    We should be able to have our disagreements and go to the corner bar afterward and have a drink!

    I think for one, you're right to disagree Brummie on this one. We are all people with feelings behind what you read, and no-one should be expected to be rubbished or ridiculed. Disagreement is one thing, pulling someone apart because of their beliefs, nationality, sexuality, colour or creed should have no place here.......Unfortunately it does happen, and I think many here are reluctant to comment when it happens for fear of upsetting the person doing this because he/she might be a long time poster.

    I read the "rules" and conditions of posting on this site a while back, and constantly see them violated, that is a shame. It un-does a lot of good that some do here.

    Off my Soapbox!

    Yeah that happens around here all the time. People are always nice to each other. A bunch of kind hearted pioneer types every last one of us.

    Why I can just remember how well we disagreed with Aztec the other day. Gosh, I'm tearing up just thinking about the love showed.
