Susan -- you go girl!

(*I* am not mad at you, btw. In fact, I find it hard to picture.)

How do you deal with flamers and persons who single you out for insulting because of your beliefs on other boards?

I reported the person who flamed me for stating my opinion about End Of Evangelion being hentai at A4 to a mod there, but it is not likely anything will be done.

One of that flamer's friends has also posted a HIGHLY anti-Christian homemade banner in his signature that depicts saints in a stained glass window having immoral relations, accompanied by the verse from 1 Corinthians that says women should not speak >_< The banner is against at least 3 rules at the board (no flaming, no insulting of someone else's religion, and no posting of sexually explicit images) but since the "saints" are "clothed" no one else has challenged it.

How do you deal with these kind of flamers?

You continue to report them....especially if they're breaking forum rules. At least that's what I'd do. I'm not sure of the set up at the board you're talking about...but if they have the ignore feature, like we do here, I'd use that if nothing was happening in regards to your reports. One last thing would be to leave the board completely.

And you pray for them too....that they see the wrong in what they're doing.

All my personal humble opinions though.

Thanks The mods are hardcore athiest (so it's not *their* problem when someone's insulted on beliefs) and don't want to get the reputation of being censorious. They put in the rules as a last resort when some hentais and trolling 15 year olds invaded the board a few months ago, and are rather lax at enforcing them still.

There are some interesting topics there, and it's one of the few anime boards that does NOT have a specific hentai/yaoi/yuri discussion as the mods vetoed the idea.

Yet I wish that the rules about insulting banners would apply equally. If I posted one of a smashed Buddha statue with the words "Do not make idols for yourselves" I would be warned.

I have to leave. . .someone's mad at me&nbsp;in the house&nbsp;also. I wish that somewhere, sometime, I would not always have someone angry at me.

Sounds like someone needs a hug.


I'm praying for you.

So apparently, according to some people, the Constitution and people are not the authority in a democracy and according to Romans 13 you must agree with the leaders right or wrong.

Don't worry, Susan. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with the leaders of the government. Whoever is using Romans 13 to state the contrary is trying to steal authority from the Bible to support their position because they realize that their arguments are lacking.

Thanks very much -^.^- and I've dropped out of that debate for a while, if you want to post there I will give you the link.

Oh, and did you know it is now an offense worthy of warnings to address the US President as anything but President Bush or Mr. Bush?

Yep... Apparently, politician nicknames have officially been proclaimed abomination.

Thou shalt have no other names before the George, thy honcho.
Thou shalt not calleth thine President by his nick-name;
Neither shalt thou giveth him a nifty abbreviation,
Neither a shorter, more facile version, verily, verily.
For his name shalt be power, and his word, revelation...

LOL!!!!!!!!!

I'm working on this fictional story now in my wordprocessing program. I'm kind of afraid of writing unless I am absolutely, perfectly happy and content, because writing when you're depressed or angry is a good way to write things that make a lot of&nbsp;future readers&nbsp;mad, messed up themselves, or just plain disgusted.

Only thing is, I rarely am really, really happy and absolutely content with everything there is. So I am debating the philosophical question of if it is allowable to write when I'm depressed or sort of angry.

LOL, I am feeling better now though. Thanks -^.^-

I think it depends a lot on what you're trying to write. Angry or depressed writing need not be a bad thing; some of the best poems ever written express anger or depression, but they serve a useful function. I think it's Psalm 137 that goes on about dashing infants against rocks; it is nonetheless communicative, and may help reach out to people who are angry, and need to know that other people have also been angry.

Poor Susan.

I would suggest that you just avoid those forums and websites you are having difficulties with. Look in here. There are a bunch of different forums that are all different. I'm sure you will find one that you like.

Susan, Peace be with you.

I started a book years ago.&nbsp; A piece of fiction.&nbsp; Though the story is in my head, I have yet to finish it.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; I write best when I am in a less happy state.&nbsp; The book itself is somewhat morbid (if you consider Tom Clancyish writing to be morbid), though I don't think that it is a reflection of my mood.

For whatever reason, for me, it is easier to focus and write when I am on the slightly depressed side (I guess it is good that I haven't touched my book in a LONG time...hehe).&nbsp; The writing tends to focus my thoughts elsewhere.

Along the same lines, I write best when I am bored.&nbsp; For me, the past few years have been so busy that I don't have time to be bored!&nbsp; Writing is downright hard work.&nbsp; I hope that one day, perhaps after I retire (another 15 years), I can get back to fictional writing again.

Everyone wants me to finish my book.&nbsp; Guess they'll have to wait!

God Bless and stay safe.

-^.^- Thanks!

By the way, have any of you had something/someone with the name "Gotta Love Islam" pop up in an AIM message? He/she/it starts out issuing terrorist threats like "YOU WILL DIE FOR ISLAM!!!!!1" (direct quote)and then it will degenerate into utter silliness like "YOU MUST DO HOKEY POKEY OR ALLAH WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN LIKE COBRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (direct quote)

I think it is either from A4 or here, because it used my name and these are the only two boards at which I use my real name as or in my username.

It reminds me of a bored 15 year old otaku needing sleep, on a caffeine high, and actually thinking his sick humor is funny or of someone's AIM bot.

Either way, it's not really funny. >_< I even reported it to the FBI.

Removed flame directed at 15 year olds with no knowledge of anything but trolling.

/me glares at both the new hentai-addict arrival at A4 and Mr. Islam while preparing the Troll-Aid

Is there a full moon or something tonight? There seems to be so many trolls about

I did.

Have you listened to my new sound wav?

(You probably won't get much out of it unless you're a fan of Mystery Science Theater......)

I really hate when a "friend" lies to me......i guess it's time to rethink the friendship.
