Validus 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Am I the only one who finds the locking of an entire forum without just cause a bit ridiculous? I would publicially ask VaBeachguy to have a long talk with Mr "Alterego" about enacting Big Brother tactics like a dictator. Nothing happened in Kronos to warrent the forum being locked... Christians who use censorship tactics to limit freedom of discourse is exactly what happened to Galileo and now its happening here on a webpage in the early part of the 21st century and it isn't right. By blocking debate of the topics at hand, Christians are simply confirming the worst suspicions the rest of us have about them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted August 12, 2005 Why do you blame everything on Christians? Christians didn't close the forum, Alterego did. Perhaps Alterego received a vision from big fat Buddha telling him to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela 1 Posted August 12, 2005 Validus, get a life. he's giving us a break from petty infighting, name calling derision, and judgementalism, which you seem to have in spades. Get over it, and yourself and plaes become a better person. I condone AE's descision. So... off with ya.. or I'll bring my slipper out of hiuding and tan your stupid arse.

Your condescention and your support of such a decision speaks ill of your character if you really think that was what was going on there. I'm also not impressed by your threat, which is something that proves my point far more then it proves yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela 1 Posted August 12, 2005 well jeez your humourless to boot. the 'threat' was a joke! but trust me a fair5 few of your actions have been less than stellar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your absolutely right....Christians have never done anything to anyone that was harmful in 1,600 years of history. All those burned witches, 400 years of black slavery, the slaughter of the American Indians, the KKK, the Jim Crow Laws, the current mess in Iraq... -all just an anti-Christian hoax. Thanks for setting me right on those points, Kor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suggested that he do this a few weeks ago. The locking of Kronos is not permanent. He just wants a break. I understand how he feels. Lately, the behavior in Kronos has been quite childish. The behavior has not fit the name in a while. To be honest. Kronos was getting boring. It was more like Fereginar. Edited August 12, 2005 by Data Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madame Butterfly 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Well I for one don't like someone pointing fingers at me for something I didn't do. When people have to always have something negative to say about other, and are pointing the fingers, perhaps they need to look at themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela 1 Posted August 12, 2005 Me thinks me is agreeing with those whoo condone the non permanant shutting. WE ALL needed a break, you may not have we did. I may (probably) was a name caller, i retaliated a fair bit. but we NEEDED a break. Hats off AE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) Validus, all of those things.... were done by extremists! You know what that is? Ex-Trem-Ists... which means that they believe in fanatical ideals... Just like Al-Quada (or however you spell it) That doesn't mean that all christans are like that... I have to say, i don't like you prejudice for all christians... Also, i condone AE's decision, and if you don't like... you can go away. Edited August 13, 2005 by LordOfTheBorg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tina 0 Posted August 13, 2005 No problem Validus- After all it was *you* who couldn't let some arguments die( yes i did some in the past-But did kronos close..Uh no) And King and UH and every other person that floated around Kronos trying to prove they were right- Sure we all have our arguments but enough was enough So there- pettiness leads to a humbling experience- The Black hole of nothingness Which pisses me off because i had a couple of good threads lined up for Kronos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By that logic I guess Copernicus and Darwin must be the most petty people in History. That's just silly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HRH The KING 0 Posted August 13, 2005 And King and UH and every other person that floated around Kronos trying to prove they were right- Sure we all have our arguments but enough was enough Hey!!!
