can someone please kill the dear road post...I am being harassed in it, and called judgmental, and I am also being told that I'm being rude because i'm abstinent...not only is that ana ttack on my own faith, but it is an attack on other peoples faith too...to claim that abstinence causes rudeness is assinine, and misinformed..I would like partiality demosntrated and have that thread closed as mine was...when I logicaly deduced that someone could possibly be a sociopath based on a lack of empathy.

Betty Boop clearly has empathy, you are not being harassed, and the only one judging others is you. I warned you, but you did not heed my warning, so I have no choice but to end this. Road has the left the building.IP: Logged |

Yep, but it's an opposing opinion to which I can only consider, despite how much of a stupid thing to say it is. I'm a 30 year old virgin, close to 31. True abstinence apart from the masturbation.  There is no smoke without fire, and some just seem to gang up on road because, despite not always understanding what he says, he challenges people. That is something that people don't like. They don't like to be knocked off their perch. Stick and stones does not apply here. At least he was honest,direct, and upfront about people on here, as opposed to underhanded comments, which others were probably too afraid to say, in fear of looking like a bad person. It's sad.

Well, Coffee - a person can say wise things and still be rude otherwise. Road has been rude before even though I think he did have his wise moments. Just because someone says anything of meaning, doesn't mean they get a carte blanche to do whatever they want to others.No matter which way you turn it, he did instigate, however passive-agressively he did it sometimes. So regardless of how much knowledge he added to the website, he was also a disruptor. He didn't only challenge, he'd often blatantly instigate too. He did not have to dedicate an entire thread to telling Betty he thought she was a sociopath. He didn't have to insult anyone who didn't agree with him personally. Those were things that he did. Challenging is one thing, those two things above are completely different. But regardless of all that, if Randall eventually decided to ban him, he must have his own very good reasons. I'm sure that Randall doesn't let himself be influenced by what others say, at least he doesn't seem the type to do so. 
He was definitely upfront though, and honest about his opinions, but I'm sure that's just very Mercury in Sagittarius

I gave him a warning. I don't think he can stop himself. Whether a frontal attack, a back-handed attack, a passive-aggressive attack, or behind someone's back, it's still an attack. It will not be tolerated.IP: Logged |

You have to do what promotes a safe and warm environment for everyone.

I don't get to read everything on every Forum, so if someone is ever attacked, e-mail me to ensure I take notice. Me not taking action isn't an indicator that I approve or that I am showing preferential treatment--it just means I have not seen it.IP: Logged |

How do you "attack" one on the internet?We are all grown ups. It really isn't that hard to be able to take someone calling you a poo poo head in text on an internet forum. I mean, there are bigger challenges that await you. IP: Logged |

Honestly, I find it rather funny.Why, if one person makes a funny remark it is an attack and the other one asks for self the right to spew out everything that passes the mind in that moment in the name of converting the infidels? It's that "omg omg omg they attacked my faith, burn the witches" attitude that causes so many >/&"%"%&$=() problems in this world, lighten up. Do you honestly think "Religious figure X" was such a small and narrow minded person to be concerned about craptalk behind or in front? Do you? You think abstinence is the next best thing to sliced bred? That's great, you are happy, I am happy. But, if you start to behave like a caveman, be prepared to be treated like one. IP: Logged |

I've had people 'gang up' on me before on other forums, simply because I held a different opinion to the group/clique. I've seen it happen to other people and those people have left the forum because of it.
So people do get attacked, to me it is a type of bullying(I'm not saying this is what happened here) IP: Logged |
