Moderators: Stop The Spam

[N/A Gone]

Phatty,

our dialogue with budge has been a problem because she doesnt read and engage with what we right. I have seen anti-catholic fundis like this before. They copy/paste their latest anti-catholic thing.and then copy-paste their responses. They really do not engage in the convo. Thus, uneffected by it. Hardened in the heart perhaps

[zunshynn]

That explains why she couldn't answer my questions from the "I Love Jesus" thread. There wasn't anything to cut & paste in response to them. Hmm.

By the way, Budge, I believe non-Catholic Christians are opposed to plagiarism too. Something about that 7th Commandment... "Thou shalt not steal" or something, if my biblically challenged Catholic brain serves me.

[dUSt]

Fight the spam by disproving it.

The moderators have very specific guidelines that they follow (see "Guidelines" in right menu), and any action beyond those guidelines is discouraged. If new guidelines need to be introduced, then that's up for debate.

I don't like my moderators to have to deal with micro-moderating accusations, so the established guidelines make things clear on what is/isn't allowed.

If you feel that certain members are breaking these guidelines, please use the "Report" button and reference the guideline you feel is in violation.

It is important for the other side to be intellectually honest and not be deceptive. Budge is not honest when she twists an interview and incorrectly identifies the one being interviewed as a Catholic priest when it's actually an Anglican.

I'll try. However, to disprove something requires the other side to acknowledge facts, at least some facts. A one way conversation maybe benefit the choir, but doesn't forward the case with the opposing side.

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teMlv3ripSM"]I think this skit is a good visual of the futility when "debating" with some people.[/url] That is what I'm hoping this board does not become, the Argument Clinic.

Fighting spam by disproving it is the best way. However what do we do when the spammers spam us with the same spam over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over... again and again and again?

The charge catholics worship mary has been given many, many times by E, and B. And defeated each time. Ahh... I am growing tried of the same worn out debates...

True.

How pathetic for Budge, that she is not only full of vitriol, but so unimaginative that all she can do to exercise that hate is to swallow and then regurgitate another's spittle. As her arguments are not at all her own, I don't see why the very reasoned rebuttals to her rants should continue.

Also, such hateful accusations (I know, can't we all imagine her stomping up and down, whining, "How dare you say that! I am filled with God's love! FILLED, I say!") have been appropriately answered time and time again.

Of course, I haven't been here terribly long, so I don't know the extent to which such trolling is tolerated. But it certainly seems to me that she should no longer be responded to (at least until she can formulate her own sentences), and that we should all join in a rosary recited in a spirit of hoping that her spirit may find peace and joy, as her attitude certainly does not belie it.

[Mary-Kathryn]

Perhaps what Budge is fighting is not us, not our faith, and not the mistaken evils she sees as Catholicism. Perhaps what Budge is fighting the most is herself.

There comes a point where one can examine the faith to death. Then comes a time when one has to simply have faith.

New rules just for me?

I had noticed the complete lack of non catholics in your interreligious debate forum.

Where did they all go?

They converted!

just a thought and my personal interpretation is just as valid as yours, according to your beliefs...so there...fight me to a tie (the best you can hope for by your rules) any day

So anyone who doesnt convert or isnt a Revelation 17 bandwagoner gets the boot?

[homeschoolmom]

What's a Revelations 17 bandwagoner?

[N/A Gone]

she accused Moltmann of being one. I think it is my fault.

I asked her to present a legit argument. Something academic perhaps. I cited a few random, yet highly respected protestant theologians (moltmann, Volf, boyd, braaten) and she took the moltmann thing wrong.

I am inclined not to make any new rules, because I think the ones we have now are great.

Hey if being annoying was enough to get you banned, I would have been booted a long time ago

That's just a sorry, sad, grasping at straws attempt at something decent to write --which your continually allowed presence here has clearly refuted.

They're just understandably concerned about trolling spammers --if you want to be honest, that's totally different.


But, I still like you Budge! Can't wait till you convert. I actually think someday you'll be a Catholic nun.
