Spare the rod, spoil the child

The exterior act is violence, but since it's consented we can't really consider it violence as we do with other conducts.

Its only violence between consenting adults, when it causes injury or psychological
Harm. Neither, of which, responsible bdsm entails.

Quote: The World Health Organization defines Violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power,threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation," but acknowledges that the inclusion of the "the use of power" in its definition expands on the conventional meaning of the word.
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!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

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.

I was giving the rest of you the benefit of the doubt. Was this seriously an official majority decision? If so, I'd appreciate clarification on what constitutes derailing a thread, as the tangent we were on seems comparable to thousands of others that were not given a warning.

Stop being facetious John, you always craved for an excuse to cry persecution, even when you made a bitch of yourself by running away to TTA saying we were mean to you. Only to return when you got banned there, and make more of a mockery of yourself with that ridiculous new nickname.

Nevertheless, thread derails are not against the rules and you received no official warning, last I checked.

Unless you wish to exclude someone from having a discussion with you for being a mod, you know, because its umpleasant, right or wrong?

Ah, the ad hominem distraction from the issue at hand.

I was told to stop derailing the thread by a green name who said she had her mod cap on. Is that not official?

I have no clue what you're trying to say here.

No; it was not an official warning, which adds to your Warning Level percentage. Nor was it a verbal warning, which are issued via pm. It was a (repeated) injunction to stop using trolling tactics to derail the thread - what are termed "speedbumps" - which are at the discretion of the Staff and do not require consensus to apply.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Why do you guys keep getting caught up in this stupid petty squabbling?!

I ask myself that same question many times. If it was such an unilateral choice, to ban, IMHO, John wouldn't even had the chance to made this shenanigan.

I can make it clearer: Should we spare the rod, child?
