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 wasn't trying to start a controversy here. I was honestly wondering because I looked at his last few posts and didn't see where there was any instances of trolling. I will own my shit and stand corrected if examples of this are shown. Many here don't like his views and that's fine. But where did he cross the line in his recent posts? I'm honestly not trying to stir up shit but really, we've had other members do far worse and get to stay.

GS, you may be right about that, but if that was really the case, then he should have been gone a long time ago.

It might have been older posts that weighed heavier. I don't know. I think he kudoed me once.

It takes time once a report has been made, for the case to be made for or against even voting and even then the current and past behavior is viewed and talked about.. sometimes members create more reports ontop of reports and those need sifted through then culminated from many report threads to one thread so voting can begin. Depending upon mod/admin availability and the nature of the ban controversy, this process can take awhile to even get voting started much less reach quorum. Before I left a new procedure called devils advocate was put in place where a mod would take up the defense of the member. Knowing how talky the mods are--scoobs could very well have been banned for something he did weeks ago.

As to your question I don't know and can't say about where lines are drawn or whatnot. It's obviously all a case by case basis. 


KUSA I have to disagree with you. Many unliked members who "don't fit in" hang around here just fine. There are members here that I daresay loathe, but i dont question their right or ability to be here. This forum in particular welcomes people from all beliefs, walks of life, etc. You dont have to be liked to be a member. Hell I got myself temp banned once as a newbie, and didn't have a problem with bias when I returned. When it comes down to the general question, is it everyone else or just you that's a problem--more often than not the answer is clear.

@Nymphadora: How many people report trolls. Most of them are just fun to fuck with. It's only when they reach that critical mass of assholiness that they're banned.

Does the banhammer produce an NDE? 

I do so hope he makes a video.
