RE: “What on Earth am I here for?”
Alright you three, I want you to listen to this very carefully because I get tired of repeating myself on this. Jeremiah got permission when he started to post threads about subjects such as this. Many other forums I have been a member of will constantly pick topics that are far more controversial than this and they will not even be nice about it and the moderators are generally the ones who will bring up the topic. Jeremiah has not broken any rules; therefore, you have no leg to stand on in this whole complaint. In fact, the ones who are breaking rules are you by attacking him personally and if you don't cut it out, there will be consequences to pay for those. If you want to disagree, you may, just do it in a friendly manner (this means disagreeing without calling anyone a "Bible thumper", "a religious fanatic," or another terms which by definition is a form of propaganda, which makes those who use these terms and accuse Jeremiah of spreading "propaganda" a hypocrite).
Yankee, we know you don't like these treads, but all I can tell you is you might as well get used to it. I have to hear things I disagree with on a daily basis on some of these forums and never get my way on the outcome. What Paladin said is the truth, if you don't like reading it, move on. In all truth, Jeremiah is an outstanding moderator. There is no rule saying that a moderator is not entitled to his own opinions and by the fact that Jeremiah remains above personal attacks shows that he IS holding himself to a higher standard. Yes, the topic that Jeremiah is discussing may be a subject that some people do not feel comfortable discussing, but the fact of the matter is he does it without being rude about it.
The truth of the matter is we have had various topics discussed here which many members of the staff disagree with and we allow them to continue as long as they don't violate the rules; therefore, we are not creating a one channel system that you are complaining about.
mopar2ya, I have read through Jeremiah's remarks very carefully and I find no evidence of arrogance or a "holier than thou attitude." If that was there, I would call him on it; however, what I'm seeing is you blindly accusing him of doing things because you disagree with his viewpoint. That is a form of bigotry that I will not tolerate around here. Everyone deserves respect on this forum no matter what their personal beliefs are as long as they do not violate any of our rules.
