The offending post and both references to it are now removed. And the original poster has long since been instructed to leave this thread.

The comments MUST remain in some form, as testimony against those who made them.

If you wish to accumulate a treasury of personal offenses, then do it on your own computer. When we remove a post, we do NOT want to see it again.

Are you ordering me to remove the two quotes from my homepage?

I can see if someone slips up and utters a profanity and that is removed; however, certain utterances go to the very core of a person's character and to remove these posts but allow the poster to remain is really just covering up for the poster.

And the responses to that post (containing the quote) were not removed until a few minutes ago.

However, just last week you posted this. The portion that I have highlighted in red made me assume that the responses to the original post were intentionally left standing by you:

When a newbie posts a strong preterist position (that Christians replaced the Jews in God's promises) or that Europeans are the lost tribes of Israel or that "Adam" means white - all of which are beliefs claimed by various white supremacist theologies - I require him to state his beliefs concerning Israel and other races.

If he refuses - as we had a group of about a half dozen do - I ban him. If his reply is weak, I flag his account.

There was no such reason for me to think the poster harbored a racist view. But by responding to the question concerning that particular phrase, the poster acquitted herself very well indeed. Otherwise I would have pulled the entire exchange.

Sometimes it is better to leave the exchange "on the record."
