As you said, I don't want to talk about anyone either (gossip), so I'll be brief.

But I think he got kicked out because he made attacks on the mods, and more importanty based on things that weren't true.

If it was only that. I think one can get a good picture by looking at his post record.

I was being brief

If said what I really wanted to say, it would've been so censored you wouldn't be able to read it.

Warsong was banned because we were recieving complains about his baiting posts and attacking other users. We told him to stop. Him directly going after us didn't play into him being banned, he didn't listen to our warnings and proceeded to continue, that's all.

No offense, but we have to have EXTRA patience with some people. Lol

Warsong was a different kind of person for sure.

But, it's no big deal. I've also had problems with christian sites.
I was banned also from this "Christian Songwriting" site below for a time.
http://www.christiansongwriting.org/

I was banned for being too negative. They banned me.
Because, in general, christians just wanna be POSITIVE all the time and don't wanna hear any negativity. I know it.

I posted a lot of KORAN on that site and they deleted it all, for fear that muslims might get offended. FEAR!
They deleted it and banned me. Haha!
There was a guy from Detroit there saying that Allah and Jehova were near similar and they sided with him.

I only posted Koran there, because 2 of the christian members there were insisting that Allah and Jehova were so similiar, so I tried to show them the difference between the two and wham! They slamed me down. :-o

I'm telling you guys the KORAN must be the most negative holy book ever written. If you ever hear a christian insisting that Allah is near comparable to Jehova, then just read them the Koran and they'll see the difference, but beware the moderators will toss you out like a rotten egg. Haha! Oh well...

And then the christians there will start calling you a "Muslim Hater".
Well, I did not write the Koran and I don't hate muslims either.

Getting banned is not a big deal really.

I don't understand a Christian getting upset because posting Koran quotes might offend a Muslim...
Why are some of us trying to water down our beliefs that much to include other cultures/religions? The kingdom of heaven is exclusive; Christ is the ONE WAY.

@RA Games:
there's a big difference between what you were doing and what warsong constantly did. what you did was a GOOD thing, and those people who banned you for it need to get things right with God.

I think the decision to kick warsong was more than valid. Lately his posts had been purely for the reason of baiting people into an argument/discussion that he really didn't want to participate in. I can understand someone disagreeing with others, I can even understand them enjoying disagreeing and discussing things they know they will disagree with and really aren't going to discuss. Though I just can't understand the way warsong would bait into 5-6 different discussions that they had no intention of truly discussing and continually doing this. Then using that as a reason to continually explain that everyone else is negative and everyone else thinks everyone is out to attack them.

Lately I haven't been the best example since I've made some very pointed comments at him. They were not attacks simply what I truly believe. Warsong is one of the few people to ever cause me to completely lose respect in them.

In any case this isn't gossip just my perspective on warsong's latest activities. I think the decision to ban him was more than well founded and shows the integrity of the mods, that they want to maintain a community of people who are here to discuss things and maintain a quality of content.

Eh that happens. I recall last year, if you ever watched Hal Lindsey’s prophecy report show on TBN, well TBN didn’t like how Hal was displaying Muslim beliefs in a negative light so they told him to knock it off with speaking out about that religion or they would censor him or cancel his show (they censored many episodes entirely), so he pulled his show from their network and is now on Daystar. Some Christians do believe that Allah and YHWY are the same being, but sadly mistaken. Allah is the same god they had before Islam, it was known as their sun god for those that started that religion, that is what they worshiped and the new religion was just a new spin on the old thing there. As it says, nothing new under the sun, you know?

But none of this really applies to this thread, this is not in the same league, really. There is a difference in posting about truth or a discussion there of, and the other end of posting just to cause controversy for sake of pounding on someone to make your point… which may just be to pound on someone. Happens a lot in Internet bulletin boards, that is why I like personal ignore functions a lot when they are available.

Oh, I always liked Hal Lindsay. He gets to the point and says the truth.
DayStar? I'd better research this.

@ warsong
If you can read this, I have a little advice for you.

#1 Be Positive!
Only turn negative if you have too and only to help someone and only as a last resort.

Generally speaking, "Stay Positive" on these forums as much as possible.

Yeah, Hal is a good guy, he sometimes comes to fill in for our Pastor when he goes on missionary trips. Daystar is a Christian satellite station, I don’t know if it’s on cable but I get it on DirecTV, but you can check. They also carry some of those Word Faith (WoF) teachers (use caution) as TBN does, but there is some good programming on that station.

They have the right to decide if they want their site to be a christian cubby hole. I personally enjoy this site, because it allows people to say/do something wrong once in a while. It's much more like the real world where if you just say you're anti-homosexual you are accused of hate crimes.

@Mods: Thanks for being tolerant, and acting like Jesus would have.

We always got along well. Maybe that was because I never said much about my opinion of his view but just discussed with him.

From having seen only warsong's latest posts before the ban, it seemed to me as if they were either posting in a language that is not their primary language, or that they were angrily posting without thinking. Possibly some combination thereof. It is possible that they were having difficulty getting their intended point across and then caving in to that frustration in subsequent posts.

Those who are trolling/attacking are usually toying with those that they see as their victims, and that attitude shows through in a certain artfulness or arrogance of their posts. They think far more of themselves than they ought and they strongly desire others to see them as vastly superior; all of which bleeds through into the content of their posts—which, believe it or not, they are very careful with. I would submit that, while very possibly arrogant, I saw no artfulness at all in warsong's posts.

------------------
Never Forget to Pray!

"...prayer itself is an art which only the Holy Ghost can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer. Pray for prayer---pray till you can pray; pray to be helped to pray, and give not up praying because you cannot pray, for it is when you think you cannot pray that you are most praying. Sometimes when you have no sort of comfort in your supplications, it is then that your heart---all broken and cast down---is really wrestling and truly prevailing with the Most High."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, from the pamphlet, "Effective Prayer"
