Since you came up with this publicly (yet again), this is my advice: Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

What the %#@! are you talking about?
I'd expect more from a mod. Jacob didn't do anything wrong, and you call his highly legitimate concerns 'whining'. This entire situation is bullshit. Rayaan's conduct has been inappropriate. If that's what satisfies as an apology nowadays, well then Jacob has every right to leave and it isn't his fault at all. Its your job to ensure the comfortability of all members, religious or not, and really that's all the guy wants. To not be online stalked for no reason whatsoever. He just wants Rayaan to say, yeah I went too far, it wont happen again. Honestly, I can't imagine why this is so difficult and I'm a little disconcerted with how the other mods seem to be silent on the issue, or victim blaming. God forbid I have any issue with one of you, I'll just get told to stop whining and not let the door hit me on the way out, apparently.
I quite frankly am in disbelief at how you've handled this case. We lost a good member due to this asshattery, and I don't understand your reaction one bit. I honestly don't think any mods should do any investigations more than comparing IP addresses to ensure sock puppets are controlled. But that's my opinion, and I felt that the rules set forth were adequate, assuming they were followed.
Ban people for their conduct here. People are allowed to be Poe's and trolls. Its to be expected on the in-ter-net. Once they establish themselves as such, just hit the banhammer button. It's really not rocket science, and this excess of moderation has cost us a new member whom I was quite pleased with having as a member of our community.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
