It popped in my head when proof reading, something I don't usually do. So I added the rest. It wasn't a full thought originally. It was the not in public, not anywhere, that triggered it.
Do you eat with 8-10% of the American population already? That is like 28,000,000 people.
Who calls you names? They got neg rep coming. :Clete:
You know, Knight...a general Christmas Amnesty might not be the worst idea in light of the general ringing in of a new year and approach around here. :think: Just saying. A few blew up or faded under the harsher treatment and some of those could be worth having about again.

I agree. I've always wondered how the second meltdown would compare to the first
lain:
Yeah. I was actually rather interested in what user aaa5555 had to say .. .er .. sell....

:nono:Oh, lighten up, names. :rotfl:
:chuckle:
What? I thought it was funny.
Knight-
Wasn't April like eight months ago?

Door wasn't banned, he quit.
Looks like you can't be a knucklehead anymore.
Jesus called people names. Always with good reason, though. And He never called someone something they were not.

Starting in 2009 TheologyOnline.com will be instituting a new standard of interaction on the TheologyOnline.com forums. Since 1997 TheologyOnline.com has encouraged spirited debate at a level officially referred to as "in your face smack". The new standard starting in 2009 will be described as "Cordial Correction". (see TruthSmack Gage below)
When asked in a recent press conference... "Does this mean TOL is becoming fair and balanced to all view points?"
"Of course not!" Answered TOL's CEO Knight. "TOL will always be a right-wing Christian website as long as I am in charge.". Knight continued, "it's merely the fact that in an effort to create a website with the purpose of smacking liberals around we have often times sunken to a level that we would prefer not to have sunken to."
When asked to explain the meaning of that tortured sentence Knight responded... "It's obvious isn't it?" :noid:
So what exactly does this change mean? The bottom line is... being extremely harsh can at times be the right thing to do, however those cases are often times few and far-between yet have become the "norm" on TOL in recent years. In most cases simply stating a counter argument in a loving, civil, and intelligent way is the best thing to do. This doesn't mean that all views will now be given a "pass" on TOL, instead... it means that love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control should be the first tools used in any discussion. Yes there will still be times when righteous indignation and harsh rebuke will still be in order. Question: Will folks be warned or possibly banned if they don't follow the new standard? In time yes (possibly, and depending on the circumstance), but initially the TOL staff will do our best to help educate the membership regarding the new standard.
This is officially the first time in the history of TOL that we have instituted such a change in focus and mission of this website.
Please feel free to ask your questions here in this thread and I will do my best to answer them.
May God bless TOL to grow more and more to win perishing souls for Christ.
Phil 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his
good pleasure.

Under the new rules, that smiley will no longer be allowed, TH. Try this one instead:
Yeah. I was actually rather interested in what user aaa5555 had to say .. .er .. sell....
Well, of course, no one is saying let the trolls back in, Stripe.
