I think the folks who use this word as an insult should be permanently banned. The punishment should match their accusation. I was highly incensed when I saw the accusation and then some of our best known AFF posters jumped in and agreed - laughing all the way.
I do not think someone should ever joke about a soul going to Hell - ever.
Again, I am for freedom of speech, and I loathe censorship, but this was out of line in a big way. I would hate for one of these men to be my pastor.
BTW, did you notice it was our CONSERVATIVE brethren who used the word in such a meanspirited way?
Were these posters warned or given infractions?
This lingo makes AFF look really awful.

Elder Epley,
You think they are reprobate?
That God has given up on them and that there is no hope for their souls? That is a very, very judgemental and harsh thing to say.
