Don't worry, you've got plenty of dirt that doesn't require much digging.

I am looking forward to it.

Well I am more concerned about the exponential growth of human population. When we will come to some breaking point we will probably just nuke each other and the problems you are referring to will become non-existent.

Nor is flatly insulting and belittling others for their belief in God

Well I would be really happy if you could find let's say 3 best examples where I did that and post them here (the shorter and more direct, the better). I mean I did the same to back up my claims.

So by 2100 the human race, along with most organisms more advanced than simple multicellular plants and animals, will be completely dead.

This projection is quite unrealistic. I think you greatly underestimate the human race and other advanced organisms.

Dom, I don't know if this is intentionally, but you are quite nicely backing up my argument from Warbler's thread. :)

And Imperialscum, I also don't know if you realized, but you're a bit of an idiot.

darth_ender said:

But please, don't stop being an idiot

darth_ender said:

but I am still convinced you are an idiot

Warbler said:

Dear imperialscum,

You are an idiot.

Well Ender, while I was being subject to many direct personal attacks, I have never dropped to that level myself. But don't worry, unlike you, I was not offended. You may not like my posts but I would say I at least keep them on a civil level, despite being accused of opposite.

Hey, I am no bigot.

He is not "commanding" anything

Actually he was. Go read his first post...

Jetrell Fo said: 

he just wants to post pictures and such that relay his feelings about his religion .... it is "your" will that does not want to allow him any quarter due to either the type of person you are, your dislike of his particular religion, or both.  Either way, you just couldn't let him be, you had to antagonize because you are spiteful. 

No. If I was spiteful, as you falsely claim, I would do exactly what he said people should not do, i.e. I would debate about the stuff he posted. However I did not do that. I simply reminded him what is the primary function of the thread.

For once, I find myself in complete agreement with Jetrell Fo.

Unfortunately for you, it seems you agree with with him when he is completely wrong.

darth_ender said:

You are now in the presence of intellectual giants like imperialscum

Btw, I don't think he is anywhere near that yet.

I actually don't want to comment or debate your thread's content. I was just expressing the technical issues with the thread.

Warbler said:

Why is it so difficult for some to understand that I didn't say things I post here couldn't be debated, I just don't want them debated here.   There are multiple threads on which to debate this stuff.  I just don't want it here. 

I really didn't think this would cause so much trouble.  For a bit I had decided I wanted to mark Holy Week by posting some pics for the events of each day.   My intention was not to create debate but just mark and celebrate Holy Week.   When I first tried it in the religion thread, it sparked debate.   I wrongly complained about it and realize that in that thread, people had as much right to debate in that thread as I had to post those pics.   I then decided to create this thread solely for posting Christian things, not debated.  I was inspired by Possessed saying the religion thread "this is not the Christian Monopoly thread".    I then said to myself "ok, why not create such a thread".   Then I created this thread.   

If any one wishes to debate anything posted here, just quote it, copy it, and paste it in another of the appropiate threads.  I really don't see the issue here.

Actually, I personally don't mind if you have a personal thread where no one is to say anything. I was just saying that you should not expect people to actually follow your will as it is against the primary function of a forum thread.

I haven't been commenting the stuff you posted so far and I don't intend to do so. So please, enjoy it.

It fascinates me how you split down my sentences like a surgeon and then analyse them like a microbiologist. And yet even with this method you were unable to get it. I gave you points for your effort, that is why I didn't immediately give up on you.

:D

Post Praetorian said:

Do you find yourself giving up often? Is it an effort, perhaps, even to climb the stairs?

Actually I am very persistent. But at the same time I am also very realistic. If I see a hopeless case I naturally give up.

Post Praetorian said:

Let us try again, shall we? Is the core of the problem:

1) No civility can exist on an internet thread?

2) No civility can exist so long as you are interacting on an internet thread?

3) If one might ask for civility it must be denied...on principle?!

4) All of the above...?

None of above, as he did not ask for civility.

I am afraid "we" shall not try again. I give up on your inability to comprehend extremely simple stuff.

darth_ender said:

Oh, an imperialscum, you're still an idiot.

Well at least I remember which thread was it...

Click.

darth_ender said:

Debate Christianity in my Religion thread, and I'll tear you to pieces like I did last time.

If I remember correctly, you ended up being all offended in the end, although I did not say anything offensive per se.

Post Praetorian said:

actively debating about a specific topic.

...even after the OP may have requested otherwise...

He had no ground to make such a request and that is the core of the problem.

Post Praetorian said:

...says an individual who seemingly has the capacity to only answer a singular charge from a multitude...credibility where art thou?

I apologise. I simply don't have time to respond to all the nonsense you produce. Nor it would be of any use to do so.

Don't be ridiculous.

Post Praetorian said:

1) that civility cannot exist if it is requested in advance...

He did not ask for civility... he asked not to utilise the primary function of the forum thread, which is, as I already explained, people actively debating about a specific topic.

No. My complaint was on a technical level. Internet forum thread's primary function is for people to interact with each other by debating some specific topic. He specifically said in his first post that people should not do that. If he wants to just display some crap, then he should make a blog about it (since blog's primary function is exactly that).

Post Praetorian said:

May I inquire after your age?

You may not.

You made a thread to display your crap and at the same time you forbade people to debate or give feedback. This is an internet forum, not a parking lot in front of your house where you show off your new car.

 There is a separate thread for debating religious topics, Christianity included, why can't you just be a decent human being and take your debates there?  I'm not a Christian, but you can at least respect other people's wishes.  Wanna bag on christianity? No problem, THERE'S A SEPARATE THREAD.  It's not that hard, it's not even inconvenient.  A couple clicks.

You missed the point. My complaint was not about the specific topic. My complaint was regarding the thread itself.

I would have the same complaint if he made a thread dedicated to showing his pubic hair or showing what food he likes, if he specifically stated that people should not debate or give feedback.

Warbler said:

This is a thread for me post Christian thoughts and pics and stuff like that.  I do not wish this to be a thread to debate religion. Feel free to debate religion and Christianity and, but please do so in another thread. Please keep anti-relgion and anti-christian  and disrespectfull stuff and mockery out of the this thread.

I don't get it. I thought religion was supposed to something very personal. Why would one feel the need to display it like this?

I think I could sign that petition, Frink.

I sense uncertainty. It must be a difficult decision.
