To: Revelation 911; Illbay; restornu
Illbay's #6:
Give me a [] break, man. I'm sick of this kind of "Iraqi bogey-man" [stuff]. Your #21 to Illbay: ... while this type of foul mouthed personal attack is tolerated. The rest of us are obligated to live by the rules set forth by JR - what makes you exempt and why is it tolerated?
restornu's #22 to you: You got something against peace?
Some observations:
- Illbay should make it plain that he is addressing his comments to the author of the article, not the poster of the article.
- Illbay's post is unfortunately not unusual for the news forum, but he needs to hold himself to a higher standard, because:
- Illbay stands up openly for his religious faith in other FR forums, and he therefore needs to be a good example of his faith to others, and avoid even the appearance of evil. To do otherwise is hypocrisy, and does harm to all concerned.
- Two words already toned down with stars are easily removed completely, and should have been, as I did above.
- No one can say he has self-mastery who does not bridle his tongue.
- Illbay is not exempt. He was suspended for three or four days recently, and, who knows, it might happen again.
- This is the news forum, not the religion forum (posts #21 and #27).
- No, restornu, Rev911 has nothing against peace.
(Now back to your regularly-scheduled news thread...)

My reply to Rev 911 was that when ever something happen LDS I get flaged!
I have no bone with Rev yet he drags me into his arguements.
So I replied to him "You got something against peace?"
I don't want to CONTEND!

Illbay uses "splats" instead of actual bad words.
You fill in the splats.
As our sectarian brethren are wont to observe: I ain't perfect, just saved.
