If these resident theists really talk to god..

[Mister Agenda]

Do you really expect me to rehash everthing for you personaly Mrajenda?

You missed the bus. Maybe wait around a little while I'm sure there will be another one along shortly.

I've never been one to complain about people not replying to me. Or one to refrain from commenting just because I don't spend the weekend on the internet.

For the last time, you were not reprimanded by "one of those in power". It was a joint staff decision. In other words, action was not taken until a working consensus of staff members had been reached.

What Stimbo says here is true. A sufficient quorum was met, there was at the time no dissent, and Stimbo was given the task to deliver the warning. It could have been any of us.

Faith No More did register his dissenting opinion, but it was only after the quorum had already been met, and action already taken.

In fact, while I've got your attention, this is the second time to my knowledge that you've complained of a "formal reprimand". Let's be quite clear on this: what you were subject to was a verbal warning. A formal warning usually comes next, unless the circumstances warrant fast-tracking due process. Is that what you want? Look what happened the last time someone tried to provoke staff intervention - we went immediately to a seven-day ban instead of the first-stage warning they were expecting.

Yes, and that's an obvious example of a staff vendetta as well. Wait, no it isn't. I dropped the banhammer that time. On a fellow atheist. On someone who was, and remains, my friend.

Drich, the most damning evidence against your claims of a vendetta or favoritism is that you are still here.

There was no need to use that very specific and personal information that Fidel was trusting enough to share with us as an opportunity to tell us that "every knee shall bow" when we're on our deathbeds.

Except it is Drippy's most fervent wet dream.

Yes I acknoweledge stimmy was not the sole gun man, there were several other shooters strategically arranged (out of sight) around dealey plaza

On someone who was, and remains, my friend.

You didn't get rid of spockerteies did you?

Just examine what you just said. What rule did i break that demanded my exile?

Preaching? No, One of you tried to say that I broke everysingle preaching rule you have, but can seem to get one to honestly stick to this situation..

that leaves "Basic human decency." which isn't an actual rule on this website (as per how I was treated) but it is what the rule that you mods agreed (minus FNM) that i violated..
Not sure how one can be ban for breaking a non-rule of this website, but for the sake of letting things go i will thank you for not banning me for something that there is no rule against...

[Waratah]

I have already shown that your ask, seek and knock is bullshit in another thread. Ignoring my post does not change the fact a/s/k does not work. I have shown that you see things that are not there. Why continue with the bullshit drich.

No you haven't the only thing you did was zero on the parts of the passage that says ask, while ignoring everything else. I point this intelectual dishonesty out to you and you promptly ignored it, so I simply ignored you. The conversation ended because you were not willing to acknoweledge what was on page.

You are lying. I pointed out to you that there was no seeking and knocking in the parable.
This is what you continually choose to ignore:

The only qualifier to receive the holy spirit is to ask. Not a/s/k.

I did acknowledge your arguments.

The conversation ended because you could not refute my claims.

If you can refute my claims then by all means go back to the thread and do so.

This all happened today.

You didn't get rid of spockerteies did you?

No, we did not, if we are thinking of the same person. I'm not personally aware of anything he's done to warrant "getting rid of him" - same as you.

Drich, the most damning evidence against your claims of a vendetta or favoritism is that you are still here.

Just examine what you just said. What rule did i break that demanded my exile?

None, and as you haven't been exiled, I fail to see what your point is. We don't do vendettas here. IF WE DID, there are a dozen or so people who would have the power to make you go away, IF we didn't have oversight, and IF we allowed that sort of garbage to happen here.

We do not, and I'm glad for that.

There never was talk of banning you. Do you understand what a verbal warning is? It's us asking you "Please don't do this again.". Do you understand the distance between that and a ban?

Seeking and knocking never got me anything except empty air and silence.

You do nothing but preach. Are we supposed to tell a zebra that it is striped?

I'm amazed you haven't been banned for it. I can only assume that the mods find you more amusing than I do.

[Airyaman]

If mods banned theists that preached on sites like these, we'd just be atheists talking to each other.
