That's pretty accurate of progressives fmpov. Falsely attributing virtue to idealism, then running straight into hell in pursuit of generally well intentioned ideals. 🤔

 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. Numbers 21:1-9

I noticed this serpent is actually taking the role of some kind of physician and  curing people.

I think you just showed us the one with the prostitute mentality.

Maybe you are expecting a miracle. 

God is The Truth. You know The Truth exists. A relationship with God is a relationship with that.

how long did you meditate for? just once? for weeks or months?

It happens brutally often, if I didn't know some tricks I would have missed debate deadlines due to it. It takes many, many refreshes to fix and even then sometimes you need to go incognito and refresh 10 times or reload the entire incognito page free of cookies and cache to make it work.

One thing I found increases the odds of success is clicking the text box immediately after the page loads but NOT TYPING immediately.

It happens if I use the options in a thread, especially the "Quote" option, post to the thread and then scroll up to that page to respond to another post, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, more often doesn't. So, it would appear that once a post is made, you have to leave that page and come back to it in order for the options to work again.

How did you try?

I find it futile to argue with atheists on the existence of God. 

Because unless they experience God for themselves, there is simply no way to convince them that God exists. 

So the one issue that comes to my mind is that you are starting to use the editor before it's completely loaded, which takes some time, probably around a second, give or take ( editors are built with lots of magic and it takes time to load 'em up ). And the truth is, there are not many ways to go around, maybe blocking the whole editor until it's loaded to prevent confusion but that's also not the nicest of solutions. Anyway, could you please let me know if that's actually the issue or it happens after the editor has been loaded anyway?

There have been some users who have called for a public ban list to be created to make the usership aware of why banned users were banned and, indeed, whether a user was banned at all. 

I am quite wary of such a list, and feel like it runs counter to the privacy interests of the banned members. I am concerned also that such a list would make it harder for banned members to reintegrate into the site, and that such a list would not be truly different from call out threads, which are otherwise prohibited as personal attacks.

I am curious, however, to hear other voices and perspectives on the question. No user has yet been banned by me or my team, but it is almost inevitable that, at some point, that action will have to be taken. I am interested in hearing the arguments on both sides of the issue, so that I can carefully consider whether to implement such a policy for moderation.

Please feel free to comment, particularly on (a) whether such a list should exist in the first place and (b) how much detail should be included in the list should it be implemented. 

I'm not asking you for a definition I'm asking for an opinion. Should pedophiles be afforded human rights or have they forfeited them?

I would hunt those hunting others. 100% sure that's what i would do. Oh... and i would not only be great at it... i would love it. How i would do it. Full ninja suit with tactical gear, bullet proof vest and the works. I would also have night vision googles that can also see in thermal or regular if i wanted it to. I would have a samurai sword, two handguns and a silenced smg. With as much ammo as i could carry. Probably in the thousands since i would keep them in a car that is also bulletproof. No one will see me coming. Man... just thinking about this is fun.  

Edit 2: oh, and i would probably need some grenades and explosives for the larger groups ^'-'^

Sounds like he did drain it and get rid of him. And then unlike any administration before him was able to do. Manafort was prosecuted under Trump's DOJ. Sounds like he got flushed successfully, no?

FBI has no jurisdiction to investigate where they did with Anita Hill as she was a federal employee. 

FBI also has zero leads to investigate. There are no corroborating witnesses and no forensics and also no venue. What do you think the FBI can do? Think.

Let's pretend the Jews have no reason to believe Jesus is/was the Messiah, but do they need to reject the example and teachings of Jesus of the Gospels, why would they not believe or support any spiritual principle Jesus taught?

Cass, have I ever stopped you from doing that?

Almost every commentator seriously misunderstands this verse because they assume that “going up to the Father” refers to Jesus’ ascension into heaven. This problem is made worse by the fact that most English versions of the Bible translate the common Greek word anabainō, which means “to go up” or “to come up,” as “ascended.” This makes it seem like the verse is referring to Jesus’ ascension into heaven, which it does not.

If Jesus told Mary not to touch him because he had not yet ascended into heaven, then why did he allow or invite others to touch him before he ascended? The same morning he told Mary not to touch him, he allowed the other women to touch him and hold on to his feet (Matt. 28:9). Then later that same day Jesus appeared to his disciples when they were behind locked doors and told them, “Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me, and see” (Luke 24:39). ... Then, eight days later, he told Thomas to touch him (John 20:26, 27).

... If Jesus says the reason not to touch him is that he had not gone to the Father, then once he had “gone up” to the Father, people could touch him. Of course that is exactly what happened. Once Jesus had “gone up” to his Father, which, as we will see, he did when he went “up” to the Temple and then presented himself to the Father there, he allowed people to touch him.

The Messiah was the fulfillment of the types and symbols in the Old Testament. For example, he was the true Passover Lamb; the true acceptable sacrifice; the true Sabbath rest for God’s people; and the true High Priest. He was also the true “firstfruits” to God, that is, the first of God’s true harvest (God’s true harvest is the harvest of people who get up from the dead to everlasting life, and Jesus was the first one to be raised from the dead to everlasting life). After his resurrection, Jesus was both the High Priest (Ps. 110:4; Zech. 6:13; Heb. 5:5; 8:1) and the firstfruits (1 Cor. 15:20, 23), and he had to go to the Temple and show himself in both those roles.

... After the sun came up, Jesus Christ, as the acceptable firstfruits, went up from the tomb area to the Temple on Mt. Moriah and showed himself publicly to God and was acceptable in God’s sight to represent the rest of the harvest—all the believers who will be raised from the dead. The High Priest showing the firstfruits in the Temple was something all the Apostles and disciples understood from their Jewish upbringing, and knew was supposed to happen that very day. So if they believed Mary’s testimony that Jesus had been raised from the dead, they would also understand he had to go up to the Temple and show himself to God there. Therefore, when Mary appeared to them and told them Jesus was alive, she bolstered her statement by telling them that he had to “go up to the Father,” that is, appear in the Temple...

As both the High Priest and the Offering, Jesus had to remain Leviticaly clean until after he offered himself, and he would not be Leviticaly clean if Mary touched him (Lev. 22:1-8). Mary was unclean by virtue of the fact that she had been in the tomb that morning and seen that the body of Jesus was gone. However, after Jesus had fulfilled his role as High Priest and firstfruits offering by showing himself in the Temple, he could let people touch him—and he did.

Woman is more complex than man ergo woman is most complex entity of Universe, barring scenarios that involve more than one woman or woman plus man etc.

Ex a galaxy with a human in it, is o of course more complex than a galaxy with no man or woman or Earth-like planet.

This is a minimal brainer yet we find so many who attempt to argue against the obvious. Why? Ego is their problem.

I'll figure it out when I get there

That wasn't the case with Airmax (who had a similar policy)

The behavior and number of the trolls on the site sharply contradict this.

But you have a right to your opinion. Good luck.

i say we do it like the old days

moderation is almost completely inactive, only on to ban members who receive more than three reports in a 24 hour period with no trial or chance of returning

It is the icon that must be changed. Not DarC.

If I die I'll let you know

Yeah. 

It was a pretty unfair accusation to throw out.

Just saw GoG. Asked him why he wasn't here. Invited him. And goldtop is here too, basically doing what bully did.

See us just chatting? No socio-political Armageddon? Thought I couldn't eh?

I see you've found DART. 

But he isn't following anyone. Noooo.

...after all I suspect the admin of being involved with actual gangs of online hackers and being part of the spambots of DDO and the admin would read all the PMs.

If you have no proof of this you need to keep it to yourself. It is libel.

If what you suspect is true, it would be illegal. But libel is also illegal. You get really upset when people "suspect" you of being mentally unstable, don't unfairly do the same thing you dislike to others.

It's very obvious why it was locked but the issue is that the mods claimed to be Libertarian instead of the correct form of moderation which is ruthless but fair to all. The issue at hand is that it was correct to delete the thread entirely and naive people are going to get exposed hardcore not even to people on this site but everywhere, after all I suspect the admin of being involved with actual gangs of online hackers and being part of the spambots of DDO and the admin would read all the PMs.

Don't be confused when I say that the thread being taken down was correct, I understand it contradicts the promised laissez-faire moderating style of bsh1 but I also understand that laissez-faire is corrupt and disgusting both in real life politics as well as online moderating.

I'm not gonna make assumptions about what other people inwardly "know". How can I be truly certain of what's going on in someone else's head?

Often, it's their own words that reveal what's going on in their heads.

I see you've found DART. Where's the guitar pic?

I'm in the midst of selling that guitar and might put up a pic of my next one.

Theists know only too well they're talking to themselves. Some require that third party invisible friend who never judges them and always provides the answer they seek as opposed to the truth they avoid.

Why do you think God chose to speak to you?

>>I think it is my time to wake up 

What did his presence feel like? Warm? Scary? Familiar? Alien? Loving, distant, etc?

>>overwhelming.powerful.but not scary
