walkingdork said: who has cancer and who doesn't.

did you really need to bring the cancer thing up?  I don't think it is paranoid to wonder whether or not a person, that you tried to help by creating a thread to raise money, actually has the cancer they claimed to have(especially when that person's best friend comes on the forum and says that he is lying).   

You believe in God right? So donate (or don't) and let God sort it out.

now you've gotten me angry.  What does my belief in God has nothing to do with this.   This is about someone lying to get money, and using me to do it.     

Why are you angry?

because you are being an insensitive jerk, because you are bring up topic most would like to remain buried, and because you making a crack about my religious beliefs.  

walkingdork said:

I'm just saying if there is a God I'm pretty sure lying about cancer for money is a straight trip to hell.

Christianity doesn't exactly work like that.   Nor do I actually wish that the person is sent to hell. 

walkingdork said:

I would have taken someone in that situation at their word

I did at first.   Until the person's best friend came on the forum and set me straight. 

walkingdork said:

and if they were lying I would realize that that person is a horrible person and is really worse off than me losing a little bit of cash. Know what I mean?

THE GUY TRIED TO TAKE MONEY FROM FORUM MEMBERS UNDER FALSE PRETENSES!   HE TRIED TO CON FORUM MEMBERS(SOME OF THEM MY FRIENDS) AND HE USED ME TO TRY TO DO IT.  IT MAY BE UNCHRISTIAN, BUT IT PISSES ME OFF!!!!! 

I am not discussing the cancer thing with you further.

And if a troll is doing all that with a sock account, what is wrong with wanting to find his real account and holding him responsible for the things he did under the sock account?    Why shouldn't I care about the forum community, when I've been a part of it for almost 10 years(it will be 10 years in May 2013)?

Myspleen has been around since 2013 (current records only go back as far as 2004) and we dealt with trolls, racists, and extremely offensive/hateful people. Our community is doing just fine.

I get complaints from time to time with demands to ban people and I tell to them to suck it up or ignore them.

I have to say it, you attitude on subject sucks.

I believe in free speech. So unless someone is being physically threatened people can speak their minds on Myspleen. It has been that way there well before I was an admin.

not every forum has to follow the rules of Myspleen.  Also just because Myspleen does something,  that doesn't mean it was the right thing to do.   In any case, neither you or I are an admin on this forum.  Jay is the one and only admin here. 

Obviously I was just saying forums don't have to ban people in order to keep a good community.

they do when they get the kinds of trolls we have gotten in the past.

Some one can't handle you and so you should be removed??

Maybe I shouldn't be acting in such a way that someone needs to handle me. 

Some people don't appreciate my humor or my being blunt from time to time. Ender used to be offended by my posts. Right now Frink is probably mad at my continuing this conversation on his thread. Should I be banned?

Only Jay and his mods decide who is and who is not to be banned here.  Do I think you should be banned?  No,  but after that crack about the cancer thing and my belief in God, I am considering putting you on ignore.   And I wouldn't call you blunt, I'd you insensitive and rude.

I think you misread or misunderstood me. I wasn't shitting on your religion.

It sure sounded like you were.   You were basically saying that I shouldn't mind being used to con my friends, because I Christian.

not at all.

if you say so.

Drama is better when you've got an audience :)

Oh boy! I thought Easterhay was the successor to twooffour, but now I'm excited to find that Father Skywalker may instead be the appropriate troll. I don't know why I'm so fascinated with jerks, but I like trying to take them down a couple of notches. If I felt I could devote the time to it, I'd really love to have a go at him!

Warb, I think wd made a very reasonable argument. I think everybody understood what he meant, there was no need to spell it out. But I will do that, cause I'm the self appointed dispenser-of-things-that-are-obvious.

Basically what he meant was:

If it was true, your money was going to a good cause.

If it was a lie, justice would have been done anyway, plus your conscience would have been clean, cause you'd done your part in doing something good for your neighbour (in principle). Now, I believe this hold true for anybody, not just christians. I, for one, agree with that. WD was just trying to appeal to your religious sensibility to make things easier for you. But you seem to have a reputation for being easily offended. And these posts of yours really don't help your reputation.

My two cents.

A humble word of advice, if you'll accept it: don't always jump right into conclusions, try and control your temper, and show respect towards your neighbour, cause he respects you.

I wasn't going to say so but that is SUCH a shit response and you should be ashamed of yourself Warbler. Though Walkingdork probably could have clarified better, that's essentially rolling your eyes at him. I didn't read it in that sense at all, but I'm also not religious so...

 

and yet somehow, I'm not ashamed.

well, maybe I am a bad Christian then.  I be am pissed at what happened, and believe I have a perfect right to be pissed at being used in such a fashion.  

and yeah, I know I have a rep for being easily offended.  I have a bad temper and I am very sensitive.  I know that.  I have worked on my temper and continue to do so.
