Really? I foster ill will, now that is odd. I suppose this reply to me does not?
You would toss me?
Why, what have I said about Taldren, it's games, or it's staff that are not positive.
For the record, those who got hammered with the "death penalty" might have gotten what was coming to them. Taldren is completely within their rights to ban anybody for anything.
You want my true motivations about all of this...fine, here it is. You asked, so now I am telling you and the whole of these forums, my true, evil, discord bringing, and hate filled desire to see these men allowed back into these forums.
I was NOT asking in the name of free speech, nope you got it all wrong Jerry.
I was, as a Christain, was asking for mercy for them.
Now, am I a good Christain? No very, but I try.
It was for the example that Jesus always showed toward those who deserved judgement and yet showed them mercy and forgiveness, that is why I was asking. I was hoping that like your humor to me, which I missed, many would see the point I was really making was about how we as Christains should respond to personal and vile attacks without starting a whole thread on the merits of Christain faith. I am sorry you missed that, just as you are sorry i missed your humor.
Well thats it, I did because of my faith pure and simple, not the best faith or the most informed faith. My faith is very simple but very fierce. I belive in mercy, I belive in forgviness, I belive that I am a man who has only the cross and the hope it gives me that there is mercy and hope in it. We as Christains are commanded to do NO LESS than what Jesus did, to point of asking God almighty to forgive the very ones that were killing him on a Roman cross.
"How many times shall I forgive a man, he asked, Seven times as the law commands? Jesus answered, I say to you, you shall forgive a man seventy times seven"
"Father forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass aginst us"
"A woman pleaded with a judge for justice and he refused her, she kept going to the judge eveyday to him asking for justice, finally he said "I will give this woman that what she seeks"
That was and has been my example and my hope in all of this.
Do people of conviction offend you?
Do people who are willing to pay the price of conviction scare you as well?
Do I belive in free speech...yes, but not personal attacks on people who make games for us to enjoy, do I belive in making the games better...yes, but only by civil discourse and the sharing of ideas.
I have never endorsed their comments, never.
I stand only on what I belive the Holy Spirit has lead me to do here about this issue. Yes...you read it right... I am saying that I belive that I was called by the Holy Spirit to lead this issue and this effort and I am willing to pay the price for it.
Well here I am, blast away, I suspect you could ban me or get somebody who could do it for you.
Now please be sure to mock my faith and call me a horrible example of Christainity, all of you that think I am being a moron or a jerk, or a public pain in the rump.
Since you left me your name to make it real, I will do so for you as well.
If you want to really call me names and threaten me I will PM my phone number to you.
