gshs, the one thing that must be stopped right now is this "she" language.

I have absolutely had this "she" language, or "the unspeakable one" language, right up to my gills by now; and as far as I'm concerned, it is totally indefensible.

It is completely inconceivable to me that a Christian would use such language in reference to another Christian.

End of story, right there, gshs.

Nice set up betty. Thanks so much. Yeah I have had it myself. "She" might do to me what she did to a partner this past year. I wonder if she prayed for him too. Toodles.

What happened between this post and the previous one Betty? Please go over my posts. You can click on my name and go back to contextualize anything I've said. Not only have I not participated much in this thread, but I haven't participated much at all the past few days on the Crevo threads because I'm sick to death of the way they are run. My posts are right there to see. Did I deserve to be given the "warning"? No. Nor, conceivably, did the rest of us. I was harassing noone. I posted two times to the "she" in question on this thread. Neither time was I threatening, harassing, whatever. Instead, this "Christian" can post her misuse of scripture ONCE AGAIN in attack of us and then is somehow able to turn it around that she is the one being attacked. Unfortunately, Betty, you seem to be on the ropes on this one and between the post I'm replying to and the previous one have completely switched sides. I recommend that you not believe what you are told. I freepmailed you personally a few weeks ago and told you that this very thing was occurring and I did not want you to be drug into the attack by association of certain posters. Well, unfortunately, you are in it by virtue of being right in the middle of this thread. I've been a part of these threads since August and what I've witnessed is certain threads will go along fine and about 3 members of the evolution camp will join the threads and start with the insults, usually either getting the thread moved to the backroom (contrary to the agreement) or by getting the thread yanked. If you are sick to death of not naming names, fine. Those members are VadeRetro, Balrog666, and PatrickHenry (always sitting in the background and telling others that "Virtual Ignore is your friend, there is nothing more pathetic than a tractionless troll"). I've seen that latter part so much I want to barf! Yet, for the past week or so, they haven't realized I've had them on Virtual Ignore myself. I've been bated, yes, but I've ignored. And I saw no reason to draw attention to it. I felt like the threads would go more smoothly if I just didn't discuss it with them at all.

Alamo Girl and you set up this current thread on one of the threads that I myself began. I tried to peacefully engage AG in conversation but she just ignored me. She then announces that this thread should take place and she would play the "Christian". Of course, nobody could ever see fit to invite us to the thread until by virtue of having just a few viewpoints discussed, AG popped in on another thread and invited us all over here. She said that everyone was welcome. Of course, Jesse would be combative. You're talking about deeply held religious beliefs here. And, that went on a while. I had no interest in even dealing with the thread at that point, but finally posted twice to Alamo Girl, to again be virtually ignorred. Oh well, I said to myself. And, I moved on. Next thing I know, this afternoon I have email from JimRob saying to me and several others

"If you continue your attacks on the members of this forum beyond this point you will all be removed.

Have a good day.

Jim "

Look at my posts. Click on my name. If I get banned after this post, do a search (if they don't remove the posts, if they do, I've saved them and you can email me personally at pray4bush@aol.com). I DID NOT DESERVE THIS WARNING. I've never had a post yanked, never. And, to my knowledge I've never had a warning from Jim or an admin moderator that I can remember (I do hold out some doubt because I was involved in the Calvinism/Armenian debates a while back and something may have happened there, but I don't believe I myself have ever had a post pulled for any reason.) I've posted here since 1998 (original screename "Dittojed") and have had a good relationship with management until now. I've praised management throughout this whole time. Now I'm very disgusted with the whole situation.

Betty Boop, you will need to make up your mind as to who you believe, who you stick with, whatever. But the only thing being silenced here is the truth. Yeah, it's combative at times. But good grief, this isn't a lecture hall, it's a debate forum. If you're fed up that we continue to refer to a certain person as "she," fine, "she" has already been named in this post. She is Alamo Girl, and she needn't worry about being harassed because she is now on permanent virtual ignore. Once again, the thread belongs to you. I would advise all who were written the warning to stay as far away from the thread as possible and give those who want to disrupt and malign the space that they desire. If I'm banned after this, it's been good knowing some of you and my time on F.R. was fine. But sometimes you have to stand up for the principle of the matter and this is one of those times. Good evening.
