Of course, there's always the possibility that you're wrong, so there's that. That's the risk we take when we presume to speak for others and not just ourselves.

Of course, there is always that possibility. But I see already that there aren't too many posters on the forum, not like before. If I hadn't posted my own essay, and my own follow-up challenge to you, and brought some posters back to the forum with my threads, you and Sacooo would be the only residents posting here. Yes? No?

Possibly. People are free to do as they please here, and that's what I like about it.

I intend to exercise my freedom. What others do is up to them.

Have a Blessed day.

Mr. Zam-Zam: I appreciate your dedication to your particular brand of Christianity, but this forum is not an advertising billboard; not a place to try and cultvate converts. Nor is it a Christian forum. This is a debate forum, and the material you post here is not something we can debate. It therefore falls under the category of 'advertising'. If this idea of 'religious advertising' gains traction on this forum, others will be encouraged to push their religions here. Others like Mr. Sacooo, whose material we also cannot debate.

Actually,underneath the word Religion,at the top of this page,it says this:

"Talk about your religious views and how religion relates to politics and laws."

I thought top post call outs were not permitted on PJ. Here we have two posters who are posting in accordance with the guidelines, and one who is just harassing them and violating the guidelines at the same time. Yet the thread remains. Just sayin'.....

But...since the thread is still here I"ll point out to you that it's not Zam or Saccoo turning people off to the forum. Your matrix thread got 104 views but no one except one other poster thought it worthy of an answer. And the only reason you have 13 posts on the thread is because you've moved the conversation into "what are you wearing" type discussion. So no worries, Lance. The traffic is still there. People saw your stuff. They're just not that into you.

It's laughable that you would accuse anyone else of trying to convert folks when your own thread was full of what we should believe and what's wrong with all our churches and advice about what books to read to find out about the "real Jesus". I think you even told Jen what class to take. So yeah, I'd say you're trying to push your religious views here.

From a moderator standpoint,this is a low maintenance forum. I am not a knowledgeable person on the topic of religion so I don't visit this Forum often. The top-post was not reported as a call out. I did not see it until yesterday. Seems like the posters themselves resolved it.

For whatever it's worth, I have no problem with the post in question.

Yeah. I read through the thread yesterday and came to that conclusion.

LanceFreeman said:

You are the same clueless twit I came across on the forums many months ago. You have not changed, or advanced, one iota. Stay off of my threads in future.

Btw, what transpired between Jen and me is none of your business. She and I have been communicating for a long time, and there was a reason I recommended those books for her. Again, by sticking your nose where it does not belong, you demonstrate just how clueless you are.

So you can tell someone else to stay off your threads? You can tell Zam Zam and Sacoo what they can or can't post, and then tell someone else WHERE they can post?

I don't agree with Sacoo's posts, I seldom read them because of that....but he has every right to post them. If you don't like a subject then don't read the posts.

I admit that I was a little rough on her, but she is trying to stir the pot after we resolved the issue. I have had experiences with this poster before, not good ones, and I would prefer she not to be on my threads.

I never told those guys what they can or cannot post. I merely pointed out that what they are posting is not material anyone can debate. It would have been more interesting if they changed their format a little. If Zam-Zam doesn't want to change his format, that is fine with me. Now, why don't you stop making a federal case out of this and let it go, as I asked you to do earlier??

You weren't rough on me, Lance. I don't think you could be. And I wasn't stirring a pot. Just addressing your pompous delusion and the gall you had to tell two posters they shouldn't post what they do. The issue was not resolved as much as you were just blown off, very patiently and politely, by one of the posters you tried to run off.

And I'll post on whatever threads I feel an interest in posting on. If one of those happens to be yours, then scroll on by if it's a problem for you.
