Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted March 2, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 2, 2020 From the Guidelines: "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." Naming people without their permission would certainly breach privacy rules. Linking Public websites should not be an issue unless the purpose of doing so meets the test above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest freedwoman Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Okay. Thanks. I wouldn't lie or anything. I'd just be exposing abusive religious leaders. I would never name names of family, friends, or other members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted March 4, 2020 Super Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2020 Our purpose here is in supporting those who are in the process of deconverting, or otherwise struggling with their christian beliefs. It is not our place to expose anyone, nor inflame or exacerbate whatever relationships may exist between us and various religious entities. Let the dead bury their dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wertbag Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 What about saying Kent Hovind is an idiot? Surely that is factually accurate and therefore cannot be defamation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the term idiot is so subjective. However saying that Kent Hovind does not understand evolution, and does not have a PhD in biology is factually and demonstrably accurate.

It's possible to talk about religion and the harm it causes without exposing people and in such a manner that it helps our people here. If the abuse is such that you think is breaking the law then the appropriate course of action is to go to the police. Indoctrinating children with religious claptrap, while we call it abusive, it is not illegal. However if there is violence, coercion or assault involved that is illegal. As a side note what you were proposing to do falls perilously close to doxing, which I do not agree with the practice of. Doxing, or doxxing (from "dox", abbreviation of documents), is the Internet-based practice of researching and broadcasting private or identifying information (especially personally identifying information) about an individual or organization.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The methods employed to acquire this information include searching publicly available databases and social media websites (like Facebook), hacking, and social engineering. It is closely related to Internet vigilantism and hacktivism. Doxing may be carried out for various reasons, including inflicting harm, harassment, online shaming, extortion, coercion, business analysis, risk analytics, aiding law enforcement or vigilante versions of justice.[7][8]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted March 4, 2020 Super Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2020 Motivation is also a factor here, I think. I can say that Kent Hovind's series on "Creation, Evolution, and Dinosaurs" probably kept me in the chains a few years longer than necessary; but I've never harbored any resentment at him for it. Pastor Dipshit, though, who was highly instrumental in the damage done to me as a child and youth, I held a grudge against him for a long time. That was personal, calculated, and very real. Calling him out, by name, even on a website he will probably never have the testicular fortitude to visit, feels too much like revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest freedwoman Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 You're all right. I guess I just wanted revenge against my abusers. I have a specific name and website with a bunch of links. But I won't post them. I promise. Plus I would rather confront that man face to face anyway. A man like him can't be too much stronger than me. It's not like he'd be that dangerous. Besides. Jesus Christ says "turn the other cheek". He's a coward anyway. I have called him out for a debate. Plus he doesn't even give his ministries physical address and phone number. He'd be sorry if he told me to submit or be quiet to my face! Anyway. Sorry for ranting. I'd much rather debate civilly like my hero Richard Dawkins.

Guest freedwoman Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I officially called him out directly. Still waiting for him to accept my challenge. Let's see if he will. I just wish it was face to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
