Each abuse report and its corresponding post stands on its own. If you think we're gonna hash through hundreds of posts to see "who started it" you're nuts. If you do not want to take the chance of having an abuse report attached to your post (and your account log), or to have your post pulled, or to receive a warning or a suspension or possibly even a ban, then DON"T POST THE ATTACK!! Period. What could be simpler than that? Has absolutely nothing to do with an atheist, or your opponent, or anyone else. It has to do with YOU. Only YOU can prevent yourself from being banned!!!

Don't post the attack!! Why is this so hard to understand?

Perhaps you should etch it on stone tablets?

Please define attack, then? I posted two posts to AG that did not contain personal attacks. Next afternoon, I'm called on the carpet for harassment. Now, she never told me not to post to her. She was ignoring me, but I disagreed with a point she made. So, I went after the point, not the person. Is some people's word enough that an attack was made (even if no post is given where an attack can be found?)

Well...I was served a warning, and asked what the attack was. No answer. I reviewed my posts on the thread in question, and I POSTED NO ATTACK.

In my case you warned me based on the word on a (trusted?) button pusher without evidence? What is that? Certainly not justice.

Only you can save yourself from being banned. No one else can do it for you.


You got to walk that lonesome valley
You got to walk it by yourself;
There's no one here can walk it for you
You got to walk it for yourself.

I'm glad the particular post in question is analyzed, no I wouldn't expect the whole thread to be read. I've been seeing people threatening to press abuse when no attack took place and so was hoping that it doesn't go on the record without being looked at. It would be easy to get someone in trouble if it wasn't looked at.

When you said abuse reports, I didn't know if that meant someone just had to press abuse to get a hit on someone's account.

This site is one of the most Christian friendly I have ever been on.

I have been on the Evo/Creation threads - as well as every other type of thread (I have even been known to post in the Hobbit Hole).

I have been warned - and we were BOTH were out of line - they just happen to hit abuse first.....

Still - I highly doubt I am anywhere near being banned - Jim?…..Jim?

I stay away from attacking a poster (the occasional name calling seems to have been safe! lol!)


I am a Christian - I am strongly opinionated and I am almost always RIGHT. But I know that G_d changes hearts - not me. The facts are presented and I leave the rest to G_d.

Don’t silence yourself with screams – enlighten with arguments.

If you get attacked – hit abuse and walk away.

I've inverted the order of your statements to illustrate a potential problem.

When the MMMArabpropTagTeam shows up, then, all they need to do is start posting abuse complaints against regulars who challenge, question and expose their muslim propaganda and outright lies?
And you dutifully ban the "offender" because it's too much bother to validate the complaints?
Do I have that right?

Any post, no matter how factual or polite or to the point can be construed as an attack.
Somehow, your system thus far seems to have dealt with this possibility (black magic?), but if we are cowed into being afraid of having the abuse button used as a propaganda tool, yeah, things will slide downhill fast.
