Re: Moderator attention in that thread
From my point of view the problem we had was that your argument ("Jesus wasn't called Jesus Christ therefore he didn't exist") was batshit raving crazy and no sane person could possibly accept it. Any idea that I disagreed with it because you were making it is equally divorced from reality.
So I guess you need to improve your own evaluation of what is going wrong.

Re: Moderator attention in that thread
Well, Crash at the very least you made the argument that it was somehow significant to the idea of Jesus not existing. And that IS batshit crazy.
e.g.
Message 165
When "historical Jesus" proponents actually get around to describing who Jesus Christ actually was, they invariably produce an individual who wasn't named either Jesus or Christ. And the reason I say "wasn't executed by Romans" is because he doesn't seem to have been executed by Romans...
or Message 223
Well, no. We have an utterly implausible story of a "historical Jesus Christ" who wasn't named Jesus Christ, didn't do miracles, may not have been a carpenter, never gave the Sermon on the Mount, didn't magnify the fishes and loaves, wasn't executed by the Romans, and didn't rise from his grave three days later.
And I hope I don't need to go into the silliness of your "doesn't seem to have been executed by Romans" argument.
Transliterations and translations are inevitable when you take words from one language to another with a different script. You HAVE to do one or the other. To assign any special significance to them is just silly.

Right, and that was the argument that I was making - when you assert, as the source of a series of stories about a mythological figure a historical figure who bears no significant similarity to the mythological one, it's insufficient to simply say that the historical figure is the source of the mythological one.
Thank you for confirming my point. Because listing a similarity as a lack of similarity makes no sense whatever.

Re: Forever having another meltdown?
RPG.net has the concept of a "thread ban". Maybe the moderators here should be using it.

Re: Forever having another meltdown?
It's not software controlled at RPG.net either. A moderator just tells the participant to leave the thread. With further sanctions if they don't.

I'm a bit suspicious of this
Message 197
A guy who registered in November last year, suddenly decides to post a provocative - but low-content - message in a thread last active in December last year ?

Re: I'm a bit suspicious of this
I suspect that maybe a "friend" is using his account to try to troll the board.

Pirate Movie spam (or worse)
Message 1 And I have more sense to click on those links. Don't you do it either. You might find that you get something you didn't want.

Re: forum rules
What's even stranger is that the idea Marc (incorrectly) complains of is very like his preferred method of dealing with First Amendment violations.

Disgusted by Faith's vile tactics
I wish to particularly complain about her posts in this thread which are a nasty and thoroughly dishonest slap in the face to everyone who dared to attempt honest discussion with her.
Personal conviction that the objections are no good is no substitute for real answers to them. And that is all Faith has. That, and the lie that she has already answered them.
That's no reason to shut down discussion as Faith has attempted. It is bullying, pure and simple.
And then to go whining and lying to the moderators because her bullying didn't work, because people dared to hit back, to claim that she was the victim. That's just disgusting.
Faith says she wants people to think about her argument - but she doesn't. The objections to her argument are the product of thinking - really thinking - about her argument. And yet she demands that the objections be discarded without thought, just on her say so.
What Faith demands is unthinking agreement. Which is death to discussion - the purpose of this site. And she dares complain that the moderators oppose her ? Ridiculous.
