Hey hey hey...I resent that! We Unitarian Universalists are supposed to be outside the mainstream in ALL our beliefs, and this position is rigidly enforced, damn it!

And my parakeet is snuggly. He burrows into my hair and stays there for huge amounts of time. Can your "chocolate" bunny do THAT?

Hmf. Trendsetter indeed!

Yep, I agree, GTX/Badfish is different than a dirrect abuse of the ability as GTX/Badfish never used one to hide behind (at least not that I saw

)

I posted this in another thread and I thought I would here.

This was a recomended read for me when I was an Admin for an online game: http://www.rider.edu/~suler/psycyber/badboys.html

Although it doesnt dirrectly have to do with iNet forums or online games, its a good read for all, about Internet people and Moderating.

Ugh. I went to our church's Easter service yesterday, as I was signed up to be the greeter from our Board. While it wasn't as Christian heavy as most churches, it did have one part that especially disturbed me...a song honoring Passover, the time when the Old Testament God murdered innocent Egyptians because the Pharaoh was a jerk, because the OT God made him be a jerk. Ick.

I hope if anyone here attended Easter services, they didn't have to endure the same.

I'm sorry honey. We had to take that other thread away. It's with a nice family on a farm now, where it has all the space to run around and play it could ever want. It's better this way. Believe me.

I like you don't go away.

That is so kind of you SULPHUR.

But if CF ever gets it's act together, I will head back over there. I can’t understand why they are having so much trouble getting back up.

I do not have the time to post on more than one forum. Also, I am not a Christian that believes the message of God should be forced fed, so I am happier on a Christian forum.

I figure if an atheist shows up there, then at least at some level, they are asking for it!

I am an agnostic .There is lot of difference!

errr.. sorry you were tortured so Kass..
however, I don't believe that story.. it's just a story..
nothing in Egyptian records or archeology back it up..
so... I wouldn't fret over it..

My Easter service was waking up early with severe 'bed head',
enjoying the three little Indians of mine enjoy there big bags of candy... regretting all that later when they were sugared out of there brains... weather was BEAUTIFUL..

we grilled out (fresh trapped kittens)..lol..no... typical grill out..
went for a swim in the river, built a big bonfire after dark..

good news was...NOOOOOO PREACHING happened...woooohooo!

Well, it looks like a pattern is developing. The mods' MO (modus operandi) is simply to assign as many warning points as it takes to have a member challenging their right-wing fundamentalist views "silenced":
One mod can assign the "fatal" number.

Or they can simply gang up on someone that they want to be rid of (more likely since it is less obvious what they are up to if they agree amongst themselves to "tag team" the targeted "heathen" in advance)

I mean does anyone really believe that Havoc really "deserved" 3 warnings over one post, all which were so conveniently assigned in the "magic" half-hour! The mods must really think people are too stupid to wise up to their little "plausible deniability game plan" (they can always "blame" the poster by claiming the poster deserved banning/suspending because they broke the rules). Since the mods don't seem to be held accountable for their actions, it is a situation ripe for abuse (records of why warning points are assigned seem to mysteriously vanish, requests for explanations are just ignored, etc.)

The "beauty" of the plan is this. They can censor people any time they wish to ensure that only views that they approve of hold sway AND at the same time can maintain the fiction that CF is has an "open" forum.

Unfortunately for them is that their MO and agenda are quite obvious.

I miss Havoc,,,, Gladiatrix
