If equivalently one-sided and bigoted commentary about jews, blacks or Canadians was posted there'd be a ruckus.  Islamophobia has become a socially acceptable form of xenophobia.  I can say 'muslims are murderous cretins' without risk of a ban, but if i said it about jews or black stat would be a different matter.   Of course I don't mean any criticis of jews or blacks by that... i am pointing out the normalisation of islamophobia.

The problem is that we in the west are woefully ignorant of Islam so the egregious bias of writers such as Richardson and his hero bill warner are not as obvious as it would be if they were misrepresenting more familiar stuff. 

So if you do read the linked pdf, remember it is written by a hostile witness who wants to inflame and spread anti-isamic feelngs, not give a sober overview of Islam as it is practiced by a billion non-terrorists in a wide variety of cultures across the world.   But if all you want is to have your semi-informed prejudice about Islam confirmed it's probably perfect.

I have started my meditation practice again. It has been a few years. I am hoping to get to a state of consciousness where I can reach God. 

He got himself banned so it didn't look like he was scared to accept it.

It's more scared of you than you are scared of it.

you'll just end up burdening yourself with those growing pains and will most likely leave the site as a result, and we wouldn't want to see someone like you leave this forum.

I've heard the complaints, but the problem remains the same, that there is someone in charge that has no experience moderating forums, hence the entire forum has to suffer while that person gets up to speed.

Can we then assume the mods are going to be more laissez-faire, as you say? If that's the case, then no one here is going to have any idea what they can say and what they can't say and the mods are going to moderate, how exactly?

If you as a member of this forum decided that you're not going to report such things like what RM said, then you become part of the problem. That would also facilitate that you immediately step down from having any contributions to the mod team.

So, now you're going on hurting the feelings of other users if you decide to report in infraction? Seriously? Yeah, you need to step away from the mod team immediately. If you can't handle any of that, you shouldn't be doing it at all. No offense.

Not sure if you noticed, but RM is in a constant state of being threatened and hostile. It's all in his imagination of course, but that's something the mod team and this forum are going to have to constantly deal with moving forward. It's a classic case of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I don't think RM can help it if he has Histrionic Personality Disorder.

Lol does anyone what it is?

Never mind.  Cheer your self up - get someone banned.

I'm a anti-theist on a computer.

Agnostic in real life. ( but rarely admit to it ) 

A wannabe atheist. 

I think a agnostic atheist means your agnostic.

if someone ask me personally, i say Im a atheist.

Oh And i also collect stamps.

I mean do you actually want to know or just asking? 

I read where you explained why Wylted was banned, yet RM seems to go unabated with his vile posts. Why is it RM is allowed to post his hateful disgusting remarks yet others get banned for far less? ... I think you need to talk with the other mods and get RM straightened out, don't ya think?

I was fairly certain he didn't yet have children, so my example was very open to preventing him going down the path he was going.

Context, read what I said. I didn't threaten his kids or say something against them.

I cannot unsay it firstly, and I did not suggest any details of his abuse of his children. I said he is going to berate them repeatedly and if they're sensitive, god help them. If he wants to hide behind a pseudonym to freely abuse me, I shall use my pseudonym to make extreme examples.

If this was real names attached, I would just block the guy long ago and that means I don't have to read his shit as social media platforms block properly.

I see the fault in what I said. I had purportedly implied that autistic people have no empathy. They certainly have empathy, but it may only be felt for a select few. Just to be clear, empathy doesn't mean liking somebody, but being able to put yourself in somebody's shoes, even if you think little of that person.

There are also periods of time, or "fits" where they seem to have very little regard of the other person and how their decisions may affect them. I have known some people who were physical with their fits, although only one of them I knew was high functioning. Again, this isn't to denounce them to any degree, or state that all autistic people have no empathy. It's to identify a common problem in autism that I notice in the user in question during certain periods of time.

I was only describing a commonly understood flaw that autistic people can harbor. The intent wasn't to say that all autistic people are as problematic as RM (Most certainly are not), but it does explain the core of his problem. The main issue is a total lack of empathy, at least for periods of time.

I have met quite a few autistic people before. One is a brother of a great friend of mine and I respect him because he is very cordial. I have met another one that I couldn't stand because he would get physical about his problems. 

I understand this, they have just as much of an identity as anyone does, and autistic people don't all fit under one clear description. Some are better than others at communication, controlling rage, and learning in general. I believe that the spectrum is more of a circle than a bar, because it comes in many varieties.

Look man, I know you mean well and you seem like a rad dude, but I am not entirely sure you are informed of everything. That said, you are entitled to what you believe and you should like whoever you please. 

I don't mean to denounce your contribution either or sound like a jerk, so prove me wrong if I am. I just don't think it's warranted here given the context of this little debate.

Yes and I would be the best one and he hates it.

Ramshutu is also a very self-assured guy who he knows he can't tame that well. This is why bsh1 is at a loss.

I am thinking about simply adding ads at some point, it seems like the only way after all, since nobody wants to donate anyway. And it won't be done for the sake of having personal income, just in order to cover the expenses on this site. I work on it most of my free time and people can't help me to find 30$ per month, which is almost my daily salary, that's just discouraging, if to be honest.
