I want Socrates in here, juvenile insults, frothing rants, and all.

Safer to snuggle in at TW, where he's something of a folk hero, and not run the risk of getting his ass burned. Pity. But, if the cards get dealt just so, I'll graciously offer him an invitation, never the less.

Indeed. I've invited Robert Turkel (the real doofus behind the JP Holding pseudonym) to trot his sorry ass over and debate us. He hides behind the excuse that he can't stand foul language.

This, from a man who claims to have worked as a prison guard.


The real truth, of course, is that Turkel and Sarfati both know they would get their clocks cleaned over here. They're both scared shitless of a forum where they don't have the moderators in their pockets like a lucky nickel, protecting them from being accountable for their comments.

Uhm, so how long did it take you guys to realize that "member of the month" nominations and votes happen independently of the TheologyWeb owners?

It's funny that Socrates' vicious drivel gets reported either nothing happens, or a moderator shows up and gives the "ye hypocrites" speech about there being complaints only about Socrates

Which is a perfectly valid thing to ask: Why don't the people who complain about Socrates ever report the Jim Eisele's or "Jimbo"s over there?

:boohoo:

Because
  1. Socrates' flames are the only one that the moderators allow to sit around long enough for me to see.
  2. I usually only read posts directed towards me, and Socrates is the only poster that flames me.
  3. Given TW's obvious protection of Socrates, I have low tolerance of his antics, and reporting him forces them to look at his posts.

Socrates' flames are the only one that the moderators allow to sit around long enough for me to see.

Oh, then please, let me assist you:

"When Christians want context, they use it. When it proves them wrong, they ignore it.

Case in point:

Liberal Christians call Genesis allegory or whatever. Duh! The "inspired, yuk, yuk" NT writers..."
http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/sho...660#post101660

"Christians says outrageous things, behave outrageously, and are outraged when people become outraged at them. There's a word for this fellas, and it goes something like this

H - Y - P - O -..."
http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/sho...656#post101656

"No, David, Faramir got real creative without justification. I'm waiting on him to respond.

So, David, you are wrong, wrong, and wrong. But it would take integrity to admit that. I expect silence."
http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/sho...657#post100657

"That doesn't stop religious people from spewing their ignorance to this very day."
http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/sho...9746#post99746

"At the moment, the bigger issue for me is that religion is encouraging Americans to be hypocrites and liars. These are not the type of people I like be around. I have not decided yet how I am going to respond (or not respond). Usually I just ignore religious cover-ups."
http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/sho...9746#post99746

"Faramir is in a defensive shell. You think he's wrong. Why you want me to prove it is beyond me. It's pretty obvious, if your mind isn't warped by religion. :eww:"
http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/sho...9136#post99136

"Will you revise your statement or justify me in calling you either ignorant or a liar?"


Or heck, here, just use the search function and see them for yourself.

By the way, how many posts of Eisele's get reported by atheists? How many would you say weekly, daily, or monthly?

As a moderator on theologyweb (of Religion 101 and 102), any of you may report a violation of the rules in the areas that I moderate to me personally (either through Private Message, the Reported Post function, or e-mailing me -- Hamster@California.com -- directly).

As long as it doesn't get it in the way of our agenda of protecting Jim Eisele.

I think there's no way for us to figure out this puzzle, Sherlock.

Thank you for the assistance, but you should remember that I only read one forum on TW and I have no clue who this Jim person is.

I think the more interesting question is why do certain members (Turkel, Sarfati) rate special protection and benefits at Tweb.Con?
