Many, including me, did not like airmax's methods or personality at all.

No they aren't. What you DO to Tyrone while laughing at what he posted in spite of it, is the key.

I was simply suggesting that mods answer people when they ask why a member was banned.

I think I am more open to that than a public ban list, but I would want to avoid any call-out threads about the banned member, as that would constitute a personal attack. I think if it were done via the PMs, it would be okay. What are your thoughts on that?

You have to realize that the reason that you and every other human being with any sort of soul laughed at that video was because it was funny. An obviously white guy putting black crap on his face and acting as if he is black, even going so far as to act as if he's proven his point and calling his critics 'racists' is funny because it's farce. Reacting with laughter to absurdity, overconfidence, and delusion is just the natural human reaction to something like this; it's not funny because it's 'racist'. It isn't even 'racist'. The point of the video, and the reason behind its humor, is the overconfidence of the person in it. To get all 'snooty', the Greeks called this 'dramatic irony', because the audience is aware of something that the character isn't (namely, that no one in the audience is convinced that he's black), and so an emotional response is provoked (humor).

Only bitter people who want others to share in their misery can suppress that simple, organic reaction and replace it with this bizarre, mechanistic bitterness. They're the spiritual version of a neurotic who dissects every flower that he comes across, looking for some sort of disgusting bug, instead of just enjoying the scenery.

What about a mandatory public comment period for any changes to moderation policy?

For the record I support Castin to be a mod.

Making a few concessions to transparency might save you a lot of grief. 

I'd be open to doing that if there were some reasonable, concrete things that people wanted me to do to be more transparent. I am open to suggestions.

The fact you'd do this so slyly to sabotage a defence I have on a case I'm making reduces my view of you significantly. Why did you need to ask that here?

Can just imagine the likes of goldtop making a private community to whine and abuse me realising can't read it and crying that they can't bully and get away with it even then.

Well, to be honest, I haven't given it a lot of thought since it was just a random idea but I'd imagine those being self moderated, so if somebody misbehaves, it's the creator's responsibility to kick him out. 

I wouldn't isolate myself from the non Christians, that defeats the point of me being here.

See, bible studies are impossible on the religion forum because it will inevitably turn into a topic about the validity of the bible.

The point would be so that Christians can get their theology in order, maybe help eachother be more effective in the common forum.

Instead of you know, it all being drowned out by those with strife on their agenda.

Make sense?

Also considering the popularity of the religion forum, we may consider to change the name of the website to DebateGod.com haha

@keithprosser @castin 

As I have never known you to make a red ball statement unless you have further questions I will assume you take my point and more or less agree. You are both of course always welcome on any of my threads but barring any questions or comments I believe that we have explored this topic to its natural conclusion and I shall concentrate on those who are still on there way.

Coup D'état Now!!!!!!

cringe 

also obligatory fascist talking about free speech

Defending the offenders again. That didn't take long. 

When did Buddamoose say that?

You, like me, understand that everything is a gamble.

I will not open the bix but I assure you that I have the highest order of faith in the redness of the ball.

I'd rather live in the streets, and have chose it over a shelter before.

Would you like to debate over whether you should die or not? I'll take "Pro, you should die" I did forfeit the only two debates I started here, but I promise I won't forfeit that one

Here you go. You're welcome

Does God have human like emotions? Can God get angry or jealous, etc? 

The Dyatlov Pass incident refers to the unsolved deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural Mountains in the Soviet Union (now Russia) between 1 February and 2 February 1959. The experienced trekking group, who were all from the Ural Polytechnical Institute, had established a camp on the slopes of Kholat Syakhl in an area now named in honor of the group's leader, Igor Dyatlov. During the night, something caused them to tear their way out of their tents and flee the campsite while inadequately dressed for heavy snowfall and sub-zero temperatures.

After the group's bodies were discovered, an investigation by Soviet Union authorities determined that six had died from hypothermia while the other three showed signs of physical trauma. One victim had a fractured skull; two others had major chest fractures. Additionally, another team member was missing her tongue and eyes. The investigation concluded that an "unknown compelling force" had caused the deaths. Numerous theories have been put forward to account for the unexplained deaths, including animal attacks, hypothermia, avalanche, infrasound-induced panic, military involvement, or some combination of these.
