Beeble vs Nicholass

[Fengzi]

Funny, I was just about to post this when the thread got closed. I'll probably get banned for this but what the hell:

" Uh oh, now Beeble really has a dilema. I'm sure he is just dying to ban Nicholas for standing up for himself and disagreeing with Beeble. If he does though, he'll just prove that the power that comes with being a mod had gone to his head and Nicholass really will become a martyr. Hmmnn, what a beeble to do?????"

It's not a ban, it's a suspension. All he's doing is twisting my arguments and acting all hysterical because I *gasp* dared to close one of HIS threads. Frankly, he's acting like a baby about the whole thing and I've had enough of it. I doubt he'll be very repentent when he returns, but one can hope.

The whole thing is bullshit.
Just unban Nicholas and apologize Beeble. Then go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

Doesn't work that way, kid.

I dare you to read his last post and not mutter to yourself "what a dip" All he does is bitch about stuff. At least pisshead actually wants an arguement instead of TRYING to make everyone hate him and turn it into a bitching fest. I mean... he posts a thread called "christianity is bullshit" and expects actual opinions? Cmon, hes stupid but not retarded.

Hi Fengzi.....
I think at most Nic was insensitive....but closing the thread? Maybe Nic should just reword his question....

I for one thought it would be a good debate....why should talking about religion be taboo? Calling it BS was not very nice...

I am not caught up in reading all the threads so I will hold my judgement...
Banning should really be a last resort....IMHO it is unhealthy sensorship....

Saying "Christianity is bullshit" is an expression of an opinion, whether you like it or not and whether you think it's in poor taste or not. And in today's America, that's just as much of a political statement as any you can make.

If Christians can use their faith as a political argument, non-Christians can just as easily turn the tables and use that very same argument against them. It's something I've done countless times.

When I ask someone of faith to pick out which creation story in Genesis they believe out of the seven, that's me saying Christianity is bullshit. When I ask them about the tenents stated in Leviticus as an argument against a literal interpretation of the Bible and using faith to justify prejudice against gays, that's me saying Christianity is bullshit.

The difference between me and Nicholas is that I don't come right out and say "Christianity is bullshit" because I think it's a crass statement, but not an untrue one.

Seems to me the only thing Nicholas is guilty of is having the temerity to take on a thin-skinned moderator. And it's totally ridiculous that he should be "repentant" of that, as has been suggested.

Ahhh I just finished reading the rest... beeb was right in saying Nic didn't bother to support his assertion....so it was baiting but then there are a lot of threads like that...

I really don't think he should have been banned...

Yes but the point here Bhall is you backed up your statements (quite well I might add ....making a valid argument...Nic did not...but he still should not have been banned...come on Beeble...

[Beeblebrox.420]

Come on, nothing. Nick conveniently forgot that we had this conversation about baiting and mischaracterizing people's statements in this thread. Y'all gotta relax. He's only suspended for a week. It won't kill him.
