No no of course not. Analogy is lost on me. I need everything explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can help the things written here by you! Quote The Ex-Christian.Net forum site is open to all with the stipulations that it not be used for a SPAM medium or a place to verbally abuse Ex-Christians.These forums exist for the express purpose of encouraging those who have decided to leave religion behind. It is not an open challenge to Christians to avenge what they perceive as an offense against their beliefs.Having said that, all people are welcome to join the forums and post their ideas, thoughts, or even well thought out arguments. Discussions are permitted even if they occasionally become heated. Registration is required to post in the forums.All forums are moderated. If a topic degenerates into mindless name calling, the moderators may step in. Posters can expect to have all of their posts deleted if they simply copy and paste the same basic message repeatedly on multiple pages.Spammers and those who regularly post acidic, angry rhetoric may be banned from posting to the board.New members have a warn bar on their profile, which will disappear eventually.Posters agree not to use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.Ex-Christian.Net strongly believes in freedom of speech. We believe everybody should have the freedom to post whatever they like on their own websites, within the boundaries of the law. Anyone who finds the moderation policies of this site too constraining is free to create another website tailored to fit his or her personal preferences. Trolls and Trolling. How do we define it and who is guilty of trolling? Quote TrollsDefinitionTrolls tend to argue only for the cause of starting a good fight. They use inflammatory statements and try to upset people, just for the entertainment of seeing the effect. Trolls usually are closed-minded to any replies that are made, and they might jump from the original topic to just flaming anyone who disagrees with them.Most of the time, trolls try to stay anonymous and don't post pictures of themselves or give any information of who they are.Occasionally members can also get into a trolling action, acting similar to a troll, but their motivation is not to just stir up emotions, but rather they just are just responding with anger or irritation against an opposing poster. This type of exchange doesn't really count as trolling per se, but is just an outburst by an upset member.What to doPut Trolls on ignore and report them to the moderators or admins. There's rarely a point in arguing with them. Many members here have been expressing frustration with these "trolling" posts aimed at irritating and insulting ex christian members of this community for no visible good reason, aside from trying to poke at people and get a reaction. It needs to stop now. Pointing at members here and calling them 'troll-ish' (refer to the guidelines above) doesn't justify the trolling that you've been doing. This is where it ends. @florduh @buffettphan 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdelsolray Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 4 hours ago, TEG said: Like I said . . . . Yes, Poster LuthAMF, besides being a narcissistic and disingenuous little shit, it also a troll, at least on this forum. I choose to treat him exclusively in the third person and ignore most of what he bleats. He remains ever so slightly entertaining, but that quality is slowly disappearing. Putting him on forum ignore (where his posts are hidden) is likely in the near future, at least for me. Other posters choose to engage him, which is of course their choice, and that often generates some amusement, although that seems to be a lot of work. I suspect the lurkers have already figured out that poster LuthAMF is not worth any time and can be ignored. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♦ Fuego ♦ Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I'd rather see him banned, if that is not what already happened with the post above yours. This is our site, fundy guests don't get to be shits for kicks here. They have church for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Joshpantera Posted September 2, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 2, 2019 If any one sees a trolling post that's gone unnoticed, notify me or one of the other moderators. I was serious. They stop now. Christians had better be prepared to follow the guidelines if they're interested in engaging this community. Serious debate is allowed and welcomed. Nonsense is, well, nonsense and there's no reason to have it strung out all over multiple threads and subforums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not entirely convinced that Luth-ifer was a christian. His behavior and language was certainly not up to the standard to which I was taught to strive as a christian; nor did he seem to truly believe that "the greatest of these is love." He seemed to care more about "proper" dogma than he did compassion, patience, mercy, forgiveness, or even kindness. If he really is a True christian, then I'd wager that jesus is awfully ashamed to claim him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwc Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Nooo! I believed that he was my most bestest friend! Oh, sure, he never reciprocated but it was only a matter of time. I think that if I continue to believe that our friendship will continue to grow and flourish. This is how friendship works. mwc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also that strange doctrine of being all things to all men: "to the jews be a jew, to the greeks be a greek, and to the ex-christians be an... asshole?" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
