The title of this thread changes more often than I change my shreddies (underpants/shorts) and as far as I can see serves no purpose as it has nothing to do with the point the OP was making. If people have gripes then personally I wish they would take them off board in a PM to a Mod or the person posting so we can then all get on with what we are all supposed here for....baiting </end of grump mode>

But the mods want us to tell them our issues in this thread, do they not?

^^^ I believe they did, but the longer this goes on, the more inane the issues seem to be getting. Just my 2 cents worth, and my last post in this thread.

Well if the mods thought likewise, then I'm sure it would have been closed by now.

OK, I lied. 1 more post. They can't close it. Then we will cry like little babies that they jackbooted the thread.

I wouldn't, I would just think they are being hypocritical. They ask for something, they get loads of replies. It would be silly to close it now.

Basically, the OP's thread title has been hijacked. I wouldn't be posting in it again because I made my point about the concerns that the OP raised and the current turn of events has nothing whatsoever to do with avatar porn.

But the mods have allowed the thread to be hijacked, thus allowing us to "gripe".

I also noticed that posting here does nothing for the post count Wink

Specieism is not inane and very under appreciated aspect of the modern life of the non-human great ape. I am trying to up awareness. Go play with shampoo bottles.

As general threads often do, this one has gone off topic and that's not such a bad thing as it has allowed people to voice their concerns etc. If it really angers you to view this thread, don't. Very Happy

That said, this thread has almost run it's course and probably will end up being locked soon. Please, if any of you feel very strongly about something, don't let it fester. Either pm me, a mod or Rover with your concerns. Naturally not every issue will be resolved to your liking, but we'll certainly do our best.

See now no one will post here again, I guess it can be closed now Rolling Eyes

Just in time for talk like a Parrot day and to jump over to "FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING!" cause those posts count double I noticed. Wink

As always if... PM a mod and they will do their best for you.

Fryer, thinking to himself: "Let's see, I've been hanging out at this forum for almost 6 months now...it must be just about time for one of those threads about...Oh wait, here it is, right on schedule."

Such ongoing growing pains are the nature of the beast! I'd say, as I have grown to expect, that this group has done a great job of keeping this relatively sane and sober. I've babysat some really ugly ones on other boards....

I know that I am in the early stages of Alzheimers but this really confuses me. I did a search and there is nothing close to this. Anyone have any ideas ?

Wayne is entirely correct, the Klaasvaks siggy is and remarks thereafter are offensive, and they ARE ABOUT RELIGION.

^ The forum is hosted in the UK. Scientology is not classed as a religion in the UK. Nor are they a political party. I will not say which way i swing regarding them, but those are the facts.

Should Christians be banned for telling people that they will pray for them? It is talking about religion, it shows an opinion on religious activities?

Where would it end?

The line is a hard one to place. I think the mods do it pretty damn well and that current rules regarding religion and politics work fine.

Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2008 11:31 am

Yeah. I think that's petty as well. Then again, so is whining about general chat thread subjects, like people trying to locate others/Eaterversaries and such. So who am I to judge? At any rate, fun thread. Smile

Ahem, Christianity is practically (but not absolutely) illegal in some countries...

And now we are discussing religion and politics... Ban me now!

I take a day off... I come back and the crap is still going on. Confused

Lets have a group hug and entomb this thread in a steel and cement vault never to show it ugly face to the light of day again.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE!

Dude, you are starting to creep me out with the group hug thing. That's like the 4th time you said that in this thread.
