Liberal trollers

[Chococat]

This site has only been open for a week or so and already we are having liberals coming in to troll. I came to this section to get away from trollers so why are they being allowed to make trouble here. If they want to ask questions etc that's no problem but they shouldn't be allowed to attack our faith or cause arguments.

We need to make sure the forum is welcoming for *everyone*, but our wiki has rules, so if you see a post you feel is trolling or debating by someone who doesn't "belong" to this congregation, report the post. We mustn't cut ourselves off from everyone, sis, but yes, this should be a safe haven

I agree GM. Sad to say trolling seems to have increased since the changes at CF and the culprits aren't always liberals! For instance I post a lot on the OBOB section and already there are Catholic bashing Protestants who are trolling there. In fact trolling was one reason why I stopped posting on the interdenominational section as there were the same 2 or 3 people there who kept deliberately trying to stir up trouble.

*sigh* In our liberal Christians section we have the same problems with conservative trolls who come to us and dissturb our peace!

And IMO that is also wrong Rochir. Like I said going to another section to have a legit conversation, ask questions and find out what makes the people concerned tick is fine. What I do object to is trolling by anyone be they liberal, conservative, Protestant, Catholic whatever. Hope that clears things up.

Really? I check the WWMC all the time and I never see a conservative post.

hey I have said this but how about we make our rules more clear so that trolling cannot exist here and so that they can ask legit questions but we do not have active debates

 

[Chococat]

Great idea RR.

Well, the answer is simple. Most people here want to call themselves "conservative" but are opposed to defining it in any way that accords with the meaning of conservatism. When, "who can say what is conservative?" is the unofficial but prevailing view, naturally almost everyone is going to be allowed to start a debate and contend for non-conservative ideas.

It's not just about trollers. Sincere Christians who think that anything this side of neo-Paganism or Bishop Spong makes one a conservative Christian want to be here and so that's what we are at present--all things to almost all, but not all, CF posters from fundamentalists to traditionalists to libertarians to moderates to somewhat liberal members who think they ar not as liberal as the worst of the liberals.

I think that would be a splendid improvement and long overdue. So, how are you or we going to define "they?"

Conservative

A person whose political or religious beliefs are centered on tradition and keeping things the way they are.

Antonyms leftist, liberal, progressive

Christianity

1 : the religion derived from Jesus Christ , based on the Bible as sacred scripture, and professed by Eastern, Roman Catholic, and Protestant bodies
2 : conformity to the Christian religion

 

[Debi1967]

And btw I think I will stick to defining us rather then them

I fully agree!

Liberal: a walking contradiction.

Really!

Really!

You didn't answer my question...

That's fine with me. As soon as it is the official position of the forum, the liberal trollers can be ruled out of order when they do what you said we shouldn't allow. But if we don't have a definition of ourselves, we can't say that anyone else fails to meet it (which is what we are saying when saying 'liberal trollers').

We need to take it to the Wiki as a proposal

And I am too tired from battling Tas all day over Tattoos

YIKES - the "way things are" is in many many cases unfriendly to Conservatism and in many many cases unfriendly to the cause of the Kingdom of God.

As ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, we certainly are not advocating "keeping things the way they are", are we?

this put together is what we support and should as Conservatives YES
