birds of a feather flock together.

remember that



and watch where you are aiming that spoon!

Are you comparing me to our OP?? Man, that's cold.....

Excuse me- people here label me a TROLL because I talk about God and the Bible, and that I take things seriously. I AM SINCERE AND SERIOUS ABOUT MOST THINGS I POST HERE.

I DO NOT CARE IF THESE DEVILS HERE DO LIKE ME TALKING ABOUT GOD AND THE BIBLE.

THAT IS THEIR PROBLEM.

THE DEVIL WANTS TO TRY TO FIND AN EXCUSE TO GO AND PICK AT SOMEONE. I'M NOT SCARED OF THESE MANIACS.

I consider critics enemies.

I am going to be obedient to GOD and do what GOD says. People here need Jesus- that is what the problem is.

I forgive my enemies and critics here for doing what they do-I don't like thier behaviour.

The minute I say something OTHERS don't like or something that upsets other people- people call me a TROLL or view ME as the bad guy.

Or people get MAD at me because I don't THINK like them.

No-I'm not going to think they way UNSAVED NON-CHRISTIAN people think.

I have as much right to my views as do others.

How am I antagonizing others by expressing myself?

No, it's because you act like a troll.

A troll who cloaks himself as a lamb...as in The Lamb of God.


And this troll spews forth hostility--nastiness and insults galore--and, because of his offensive attitude, no one actually believes this troll is a devout Christian, let alone that he "represents Christ" as he has claimed. He's just another troll, pretending to be a lamb.


That's for them, and not you, to decide. This forum is not your pulpit.

If you don't like being regarded as a troll, stop acting like one.

AGAIN people here need JESUS. It's GOD'S WILL THAT NO MAN PERISH.

GOD IS THE ONLY GOD THERE IS.

I AM MAKING A STATEMENT. PEOPLE HAVE CHOICE ABOUT THEIR SALVATION.

JESUS IS ON HIS WAY BACK AND HE ISN'T COMING BACK TILL EVERYONE HAS HEARD ABOUT HIM.

WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE? I KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.

Troll

Troll in lamb's clothing.

THEY NEED JESUS LIKE I SAID- IT IS UP TO THEM IF THEY WANT TO GET SAVED OR NOT. DO NOT PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH.

So being aggressive makes you a troll, MR. CRITIC?
THAT IS HOW I AM.

STOP WORRYING ABOUT MY BEHAVIOUR. IF I WAS DOING SOMETHING INHERITANTLY WRONG JESPAH WOULD HAVE TOLD ME BY NOW.

THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE CONCERNED WITH THAN ANOTHER PERSON'S BEHAVIOUR.

no.
Just making the point that , if he "be-friends" someone.. to just watch out. I was not referring to you at all.

You LIKE people bothering you? I don't. I have a lot fo things on my mind-I come here to get help from others. That's my focus.

NOT EVERYONE IS A PEOPLE PERSON.

I did not want to get involved with this. And I still don't. I have every intention for this is my one and only time I will speak about this matter. And, no, I will not respond to questions about this, either here, or in PM, or on the Help Desk or in email or on Facebook.

I am sorry if you feel that it is my duty to tell you when you are doing wrong. You are a grown man, I am a grown woman, we are all grown ups here, even when we act immaturely. I have neither the time nor the desire nor the patience nor the wherewithal to intimately direct others' behavoirs here.

There are nearly 200,000 members on this site. And, while they certainly do not all post at once, that means that my staff and I spend a lot of time investigating possible spam and other problems. I have been called in the middle of the night -- and more than once although, thankfully, not recently -- when there have been site issues.

I work here, yes, but I also have a life and family and job outside of here, as do the volunteers who work with me, so getting into the minutiae of directing others' behaviors is just not gonna be done by any of us. This is why all 190,000+ some odd site members have the tools for ignoring others.

The desire is that these 190,000+ members will use these tools intelligently and in the spirit in which they were provided -- to tailor their experiences as they wish. My staff and I are not here to radically tailor (with a machete) everyone's experiences here. We are here to get rid of spam and porn. We are here to deal with what is most egregious. And we are the sole arbiters of what is most egregious. So far as I can tell, the behaviors as exhibited here and elsewhere are perfectly curable through the application of either using the ignore feature or, quite literally, scrolling past what someone has written.

I do wish that people would stop poking one another with sticks. I find it counterproductive, personally, but I am not the mother of anyone here. If they wish to spend their time doing this, then I am not going to stop them. That is their experience on A2K -- and if it is upsetting, or boring, or offensive, then it is of their own making. The expression is that people have made their bed, and are lying in it.

My staff and I are not here to change the sheets.

What about getting rid of off-the-wall tags on threads? Is anything going to be done about that?

That is all I am interested in.

I am sorry you got involved in this-I was not asking you to. When I said you would have told me or called me out on what I was doing IF I was doing something wrong I didn't mean that literally.

I was a bit surprised Jespah responded to this thread. I wasn't anticipating her to respond to this thread. Her response wasn't quite what I expected but nonetheless she MADE A GOOD POINT:

I'm a GROWN MAN- people NEED TO FRIGGIN' STOP WORRYING ABOUT A GROWN MAN'S BEHAVIOUR HERE. IF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE WHAT I SAY THEN DON'T RESPOND - NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO. I HAVE 19 PEOPLE HERE ON MY IGNORE LIST FOR A REASON.

YOU PEOPLE ARE SPAMMING MY THREADS WITH GARBAGE-I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO REPORT IT. She said she takes care of spam and porn-that is WHAT I HAVE TO CONCERN MYSELF WITH HERE.

Jespah didn't ADDRESS MY BEHAVIOUR AT ALL- SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT ALL OF YOU. Since she didn't comment on MY behaviour therefore there is nothing apparently and inheritantly WRONG with WHAT I AM DOING.

YOU ALL NEED TO STOP TRYING TO POKE STICKS AT ME AND GO PLAY AMATEUR SHRINK ON YOUR OWN TIME.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR NONSENSE-PEOPLE ARE BUSY.

And yet you will find the time, probably before the day is out.
