If You Could Add to/Alter TOL?

[Fiat Tenebris]

:idunno: It was in a thread near one of bybee's posts, I think. I know I didn't originate it and that whoever did wasn't an old hand here. I didn't think about it again until I saw this thread and I didn't want to claim it as starting with me, but I couldn't credit them.

Was it you?


Yes. When you hit plus status you'll be able to use a few features you can't now and you'll see who leaves you a pos or neg rep. The old standard was 50 posts and two weeks, but I think it might have been changed to make it easier.

What a load of teasing.

Yes, it was I.

Anyone hounding and driving another poster into a corner and causing them to utter profanity should be banned permanently.

I take it you've never had kids ... :AMR:

Try reading the sanctimonious post before mine.

Try reading the sanctimonious post before mine.

Oh, I did. Psalmist is our appointed arbiter of the verbally appropriate (I wasn't there but I'm pretty sure there was a vote or something) and holds a place near and dear in the hearts of most here.

Sanctimonious is not the first word that comes to mind when I think of him.

You are probably the first person to say Psalmist is sanctimonious.
Psalmist has demonstrated the finest qualities of a Christian in all his posts on this site.

On the other hand, your posts sound like the sanctimonious babble of the Pharisees.

You could learn a few things from him, as could the rest of us here.

Agreed!

Not so folks can continue in sin.

He who has died has been freed from sin. How can we who have died remain in it? You can't!

One chooses to respond with profanity ...

Pray tell, what word comes first to your mind?

Then will you cease being representative of your captivity, please? Either that or stop using those words for a scapegoat. lain:

New idea: there shall be no sanctimonious posts before Truster's. lain:

Additional idea, I'd make anyone attempting to use a reference to the Holy in their username petition the administration on the point and have that username subject to revision. So more like a license then.

 

[resurrected]

i'd make it a rule that anybody using "the holy" as a noun should be docked 215081 rep points

Why?

 

[Truster]

One chooses to respond with profanity ...

Profanity, like violence, is not always a chosen option.

 

[Rusha]

Profanity, like violence, is not always a chosen option.

Of course it is ... the person choosing to strike is responsible for making the choice to strike. The person who resorts to profanity is responsible for resorting to profanity.

You do understand that there are many other words available that can be utilized, right?

So true! The English language is absolutely breathtaking in it's scope!

If you continually push a man into a corner and hound him he may react in an unpleasant way. The person doing the pushing is guilty of a horrible sin.

A man? What about a woman? Men, by your standard should never *hound* a woman, correct?

Also, what are they being *hounded* about? Drinking? Staying out all hours with their friends? Not doing their part in contributing to the family and household?

 

[Town Heretic]

Why?

Because he's an obsessed doofus?

Yeshua was clear that it is not what goes into a man that makes him unclean but rather what comes out and that includes speech.
"Horrible sin"? Very one sided and not Scriptural.
