If you read/view some of this morning's posts by
myself Dean, you'll note that I'm for equal opportunity critiques. I do believe
that some discretion ought to be employed. I had no problem with Gary and Slade
as to their respective approaches to 'moderating'. Too many rules makes for too
many restrictions. However, the choice is your's to make, along with David
Miller of course.

There is a point, Dean, to my extending this
'giving offence' business. Have you ever heard the _expression_ of a family
member 'he/she's blood'. When you touch blood you touch me. Theoretically,
are not fellow believer's, alive or dead, 'blood'?
cd:Lance, How are you suggesting that I
deal with this issue of Ad. Hom attacks? Where should the line be drawn?Or
do we have a free for all?

How about one's wife, Dean?
cd: Good point Lance.I
consider one's wife the same as one's flesh-so in my opinion to insult
one's wife is a personal attack on that person and by doing so is to
break the Ad. Hom rule.

I disagree. DH has chosen The Mormon
religion. To insult his religion is akin to the "cartoon incident'
re: the Muslims. If John Lennon were to have been my brother then,
I'd most assuredly receive that as an personal insult.
Moderator- I think
we are drifting off the point Lance. The point is no personal
insults(ie.Ad. Hom. attacks). If telling the truth was wrong then
Jesus did wrong to the Jews? Is that what you are saying? What if
the Bible is correct and others are going to hell for these false
religions-is it better to let them burn for eternity or insult their
religion by saying it is a "wrong religion" or"Your religion
is a cult". Remember on judgement day we are are going to see
screaming people thrown in the fiery pit, Lance.Where is concern for
the souls of others in your belief of being nice and getting alone
with others as not to insult them.
Also insulting ones
brother is not an attack on ones person so it is not a personal
attack. J. Lennons song "Imagine" is an attack against
God.

IFO took your, and Judy's,
evaluation of John Calvin to be nothing short of an insult.
However, should you 'rule' on this matter thus eliminating
your/my assessment to be off limits then, we would have no
ongoing dialogue.
cd: Maybe to John
Calvin but not towards you-see the difference?If the truth
insults then that person needs to change not the truth. If I
were to say that John Lennon was a pig-that is acceptable as I
am not making a personal attack on you.But if I were to insult
you by calling you names then I have personally attacked you and
would be in error to do so Lance. If I were to say to DavH :
Mormons are stupid I have not attacked DavH but rather my attack
was on the teaching of Mormonism. In short-express your self but
don't let it get personal.
By the way, wasn't there some kind
of mystery 'rule' about not responding to posts with the above
subject heading?
No-there isn't any
"new rule". This is the same rule Perry enforced. If I make the
call that someone has broken the Ad. Hom. rule- that protects
others from verbal assaults- then reply to that in private. If I
did not enforce this then the issue of that person wrongs
will become part of the debate and become unsolvable as others
got involved.-this is for you protection as well as others. The
non-enforcing of some past Moderators has lead to many good
minds leaving this site.If these attacks continue Lance it will
only be a couple of people here and how long can two /three
people carry on the same conversation?

You spoke my question
"G"?????????
Moderator-This simply means
that the rules against insults and personal attacks are
going to be unforced by me-others are under my protection
and will get fair treatment-I owe that to God not to those
who will not keep their agreement and abide by the
rules.
