Removed from "The Usual Life Crisis Stuff"

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Not only was this totally legitimate post edited by some half-assed 'moderator', but my follow-up complaint post was deleted too.

So who's the jackass moderator on the powertrip? Own up, you cowardly snake.

EDIT2: Pity mods don't follow suit with using PMs until after being called out on the censoring.
EDIT3: Hurr hurr. Well B.F. it's hard to tell that my second post was last mod-edited when that post was been completely removed.

Pity people don't have the sensetivity to not be collosal dicks (i'm assuming in that sense only) in topics such as this.

Last time i checked the site had a 'last edited by' comment on any edited posts, the notion that i would need to hide my actions from you is, well - it looks like this: :lol:

Spunk/Chris - sorry, i really didn't want to deal with this nonsense in this topic, hence PM'ing a response to the above - but some people seemingly insist on it.

Likewise.

I see no need for 'sorry'. You think he was right, I think he was wrong. B.F. may have had chivalrous intention, but had misplaced method.

Religion was not introduced to this topic by me, nor was I the first or only person to refer to it negatively here or elsewhere.

2. Flame posts will be removed.
7. If you have an issue with an administration decision please contact the administration staff by email or private message, do not post about it in the forums. Such topics will either be deleted or locked after we have viciously mocked yo ass. Ha.
By using these forums you accept these rules and the administration staff’s right to enforce and amend them at their discretion.
In terms of my "method" - i pay the bills, i make the rules, when i ask it of people (which isn't often), you do as you are told, or you **** off. I never claimed this was a democracy so any concept of abuse or misuse of power is an empty one. If your going to couch your points in the manner of a twattish teenager who thinks he knows everything and everyone else is there to be educated by him (a stage most of us have probably got over (*cough*mostly*cough*)) you are going to get short shrift. If you are going to be such an insensetive moron as to do it in a topic like this you are, at Transfans, going to have your pointless bile removed.

If you are then going to be sufficiently brattish to try and make this topic about yourself and the terrible tyranny that is some of your boreish "Here's what i think and i feel the need to insult you at the same time" being deleted (how the free world is mourning) then i guess you can consider yourself on an official warning - modify your approach to posting, which clearly descends into flaming on a regulr basis, or go away or be gotten rid of.

I hope that is sufficiently clear.

Trust me, this is one time you don't want to see the uncut version. It's upsetting to even the board's hardcore atheist crowd.

Dead Head, you're making us look bad. You're welcome to your beliefs, just as we all are, but show some tact for [composite word including 'f*ck'] 's sake!

All right then.

I'm not that hardcore an atheist myself - though I've got a sort of Armada Unicron shrine going in my room...

This topic owns. Thread of the year. :o

But with that said... WHAT the heck could Dead Head have said about religion into Sprunkners face that would be any worse than what some of you other guys have spouted whilst discussing the topic at hand, while a little bit packered.

On the forum no less.

Is Dead Head a newb? :) If so, I'm nominating him for newb of the year, ASAP.

Yes, religion has been discussed here.
But those discussions have taken place in threads about religion.

Sprunkners thread about his personal life is no place to discuss religion, hypocracy, etc etc.

This is how I interpret the situation.

It's complicated. It's not what he said about religion that was the issue. It's what he said to a poster who was having real life difficulties with loved ones because of the religious beliefs of said loved ones. Now, while we hold true to our anti-religious beliefs, the issue was the poster having problems with loved ones. We don't want to disparage this poster's loved ones, even though their religious beliefs clash with our own.

If that makes any sense.

to all but two people it would seem.

quoting predabot to try and support your arguement when he has entirely missed the point. Good one.

Dead Head - i kindly suggest you shut the **** up about this rather than continually trying to be a smart arse about it, all you are doing is making yourself look like more of a dick.

IIRC, my original point in brief was that this bumblemusprime person was contradicting themselves over supporting their partner's choice to anti-religious/anti-LDS thought/practice.

Dead Head, do you genuinely think you're coming across as a big brave righteous martyr, standing up to the oppressive rule?

Because you're not. You're coming across as a sanctimonious brat with no respect for authority who deserves a kicking.
Grrr. Argh.
