To all and sundry

[Seamus MacNemi]

I am more than willing to respect your religious beliefs.I consider it only natural to expect the same courtesy in return When individuals such as your mssrs.Laisrean and Marchosian
take it upon them selves to mock and ridiciule my beliefs you can expect that I will consider
it only fair to retaliate with what ever means is available to me.
The Womans Mystery is a central tenet of my beliefs. I consider a womans body and her
person to be sacred. As far as I am concerned It is a closed book. Not a matter to be discussed in open forum with any one under any condition. The recent forum on abortion struck deeply into everything that I hold dear and sacred. It was prehaps unwise of me not to make this clear from the beginning. However that gave no one the right to mock me.
If there is something you do not understand, I will be only too glad to explain it to you.
However, I fully expect you to tell me that you do not understandand give me the opportunity to explain.

My cyberspace fellow, the internet is virtual world where people freely speak or freely shut out. If you don't like their discussion, it's better to avoid; or if you choose join in, then be prepared to hear things that you may dislike intensely. In open forums, any topic is open to discussion, even one's you don't like. Aggressive retailiation often turns to flames, and words get said that you don't mean that way. No amount of threatening words or name calling will change your opponents mind or make him understand anyway. Argue down the man with sound logic and well place points instead. That brings silent applause. If he jerks on you, he has lost; don't get down to the level of personal attacks.

:) I do not mean to lecture, or critisize you. I've been on many forums and been in many wars myself. These are things I've learnt, I thought I just share. Cheers.

[Seamus MacNemi]

Thank you. I appreciate youir words. I shall be more careful in the future in the forums that I become involved in. I guess that for some reason I felt that all in the forum would at least understand my feelings. I didn't expect that there would be those who have no consideration for the beliefs of others.

[Marchosias]

Listen, you were only "mocked" (not my word) after you made angry responses and personal attacks, rather than any real discussion. The racial slurs are also not welcome.

[Marchosias]

In any case, I hope that perhaps we can participate in a rational debate sometime. Also, might you want to post your beliefs in the Theology forum? :)

Not having seen the thread that this involves I only offer the following based on what has been written above:


Not a matter to be discussed in open forum with any one under any condition.

By saying this, you are opening yourself up to discussion here in an open forum.



I don't know what happened, nor do I want to know. I try to stay out of the heated topics due to the fact that my own beliefs on certain matters tend to get me to respond in a rather heated manner.

This board is for everyone despite what belief system you have. If there was a problem with certain members, then a PM to the admins was the necessary step to take--not to post it here so that we can ALL see what members were causing you problems.

I'm sorry if things may have gotten out of hand, however, we all believe certain things and in a forum of 6000 people, not everyone will agree with each other.

Again, if there was a feeling of being "mocked" or insulted, take it up with the admins here--they will listen.

They did no such thing. You may consider "whatever means is available" to include the Ignore list and the Report Post link. You will not retaliate in kind to what you perceive as personal insults.

This thread is closed. If you have any questions about site policy, feel free to read the FAQ and/or PM an administrator. Further outbursts, such as the disrespectful behavior in the "your thoughts on abortion" thread that caused that thread's closure, will not be tolerated.
