Mods, why was The Barbarian banned?

[Jose Fly]

Oh I get it! You want me to run a site where people come on and mock God and then you want me to wash their feet???

Sorry man.... aint gonna happen.

Not at all. It's your site, so you run it as you see fit.

I just have a hard time understanding how you can let right-wing Christians be free to call everyone else names like "scum", while banning everyone else for the merely being inconveniently questioning, and expect that it gives a positive impression of Christianity.

I mean, you do realize how that makes Christians look, don't you?

 

[Nathon Detroit]

Turn the other cheek?

Do you have any idea of what you are talking about??

How lost can one man be?

I am surprised the barbarian has that many defenders
so
what is it about him
that you like?

 

[Angel4Truth]

opcorn: This is fun, watching the lame attempts at guilt tripping...

I think it is less about Barbarian as it is about this experience bringing the entire system to the forefront for discussion.

I don't care what other people think of me. What you want from me is what you get on every other Christian website. A "mamba pamby", nicer than God love-fest. Sorry, Jesus wasn't a girly man. He flipped over tables and whipped people with a whip He made Himself.

So if you are looking for the limp-wristed Christians you are going to have to look elsewhere.

Oh I agree. I'm just a little surprised to see it here.

:doh: You don't see unbridled vitriol here like you do at other sites.

You get called a moron here. Once or twice maybe. I think you need to toughen up a bit. :up:

We are human and subject to bias. Knight allows a broad spectrum of discussion on this forum.
If people are questing to learn or attempting to qualify or set something straight he is very accepting.
When you have been here for awhile you will observe some patterns of pushing hot buttons by certain people. When it reaches the level of trolling Knight will step in before all out war ensues.

This is hilarious isn't it?

These guys spend all-day on TOL mocking God and mocking Christians and now all the sudden they run to the Bible because one of their buddies gets a short vacation.

Which is why im here, i watched 2 other christian sites destroyed by skeptics and atheists who demanded "equality" at them.

I haven't been so entertained since the homo mountain bikers tried their invasion. :chuckle:

Several of them ended up staying here didn't they?

They're all in this thread.

You're right. Jesus, our savior and ultimate teacher, never said that

Here is the problem in a nutshell. You think Christians that don't share your views are mocking God. That couldn't be further from the truth

 

[Stripe]

Wait, what?

Every now and then someone will annoy some other forum and they will plan a retaliation.

Actually, I think it's a recruitment strategy, because plenty of them stay.

True, plenty of them get banned as well. :think:

One time there was an influx of people from a mountain biking forum. P66 was the most famous.

 

[Angel4Truth]

Your right, he never said "scum" - he said vipers, broods of vipers, dogs, whitewashed tombs, child of the devil, father of lies, wolves in sheeps clothing, swine, scorners, mockers, despisers, infidels and heathen.

There is a term for that, I can't remember what it is. Basically, telling all of the members from forum A to go to forum B and cause trouble. It is a stupid trolling technique that I do not support.
