I don't know that specific words should be banned, but admin should be moderating the use of certain words in a highly offensive context or in an inflammatory way.

I'm really not for censorship overall, but this is a CHRISTIAN forum, and we don't allow curse words or name calling or insults, and I think that harshly insulting basic Apostolic beliefs ought to be off limits.

JMO, of course.

Wow.

That is very telling.

You'll have to read Bro Eastman's thread.

But the posts with the banned word in it may have been sanitized.

Like we've tried to explain OVER and OVER - - all of admin aren't here 24/7. There was only one here that night - we closed the thread. We discussed, we can to a decision and reopened the thread the next morning.

Miss Bratt that really wasn't fair.

Okay, maybe it wasn't, but it felt that way, since you and another admin spent more time trying to explain the other guy's position rather than squashing the offense.

Just my perspective, Renda. I'm not always reasonable or balanced--some things simply make me feel highly UNreasonable.

I think so too.

I don't typically get too worked up when people insult me personally, but insulting the Message that I love has an entirely different affect on me.

I'm sorry, I know we're not supposed to bring it back up, so I'll drop it. I'm still stinging a little over it, that's all.

Not worth hashing all over again, but we got many, many responses from posters (conversatives too) that knew what he was trying to say.

The term was was a poor choice of words and has been retracted and apologized for publicly. From this point forward please do not use this term, reference this term or question this term.

We have the ability to close the thread for a few days and sanitize the thread of the term, however, we do not have the manpower or hours to do that.

Please accept this post as the sanitizing of the term.

Resume the original discussion.

As one of the admins who got in at the tail end of all the problems, I would like to repeat that there was not ONE single reported post. IF there had been, perhaps some of the other admins who weren't involved could have discussed things and taken care of it. Instead, it went on for pages and pages-- and personally I wasn't going to take time to read it all.

Self moderation...Use the report button. You should know how much help that is to an admin team.

I understand completely. You're not the only one, but I will drop it too.

Once someone hurled some remarks and my husband whispered in my ear, "Don´t forget the Bible says,Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them."
Ps. 119:165
I have to think of that every so often!
