[QUOTE=Jibninjas;30579715]Rize is way worse then splendour has ever been. At the end of the day I don't understand why anyone reads posters that they don't like. Myself and OrP are the only ones that are forced to read posts. Before I was Mod I had many people on ignore and simple skipped over any conversation that they were participating in.[/QUOTE]

But as KB alluded to, others are responding to them, they become part of the forum one way or another, ignoring them does little to lessen their presence IMO.

Rize was banned for aggressively attacking people. Not for being really annoying. That's the difference. Every time Splendour really attacks someone she ends up with infraction points, but she does the smart thing and calms down and stays out of trouble for a while.

The problem is that it is not just her that is the issue. It's the people responding to her. If she constantly went into threads and made off topic posts and clogged the thread up by blogging I would deal with it. But what happens is that 4 people jump in and immediately have a conversation with her.

I set up things so that if people wanted to insure that their thread stayed on topic they could create a HC thread. No one is doing that, so I must assume that no one really cares if their threads to way off topic.

That's exactly it. I will not delete entire threads because I don't think the conversation is fruitful. The forum decides what topics are worthy of discussion by responding to other posters. OrP and I have tried to give everyone as much freedom in discussion as we can and only step in when someone is crossing the line in the way they are treating other posters. We don't want to be the arbiter (sp?) of discussions.

I am sorry if you are not happy with the current state of things, but I cannot pass rules that only apply to one poster and I fear that if I change the rules in the way that you are asking it would have an unfavorable effect on the rest of the forum and the natural flow of discussion that most people like on RGT.

The difference is that if no one responds to her then I can consider it a disruption and act accordingly. When everyone responds to her it becomes a discussion, and as I mentioned I don't think that it is a good idea of my or OrP to start deciding what discussion are good enough to have (within the rules of RGT anyway).

Jib, what happened to prayer/good intentions thread?

nvm, no longer stickied?

I saw a sign driving through Arkansas today that said "Jesus is Real". I saw signs driving through Kansas last week informing that Jesus is going to send me to hell. I'm convinced Jesus is real and HE MUST BE STOPPED.

Who has killed more people in the past...
God or the Devil?

You're right. I know it has to be the way it is...it just seemed like things were really getting off track and I was frustrated.

I no longer care whether or not atheists believe in God, I only care that I do, and fwiw I believe in the Christian pov. I also no longer care for fractions, splinter churches, doctrinal differences, I only care that I have found my home in God.

God has helped me inumerable times, too many for me to disrespect him by denying his existence and also by not giving credit where credit is due.

God made me, he gave me life, he comforts and helps me, he loves me and cares for me and I will never deny him. And I do not indulge in mockery of him who loves me and is my father.

Other than that I will just ignore atheistic comments, oh and my real purpose for belonging to twoplustwo is to learn poker. So on with my poker education. Have nice day.

how?

How do you know all of this? Can you prove it? Or do you believe it just because you read it in a book?

To whom do I need to 'prove' this, for what purpose and why? Im here to learn poker. Ive learned not to waste my time, and it is a waste of my time, trying to 'prove' to the heathens that God exists. None of you are or will ever be interested in developing a relationship with God.
You'd be better off believing in a flying pink elephant or fairies at the bottom of the garden for all the good you'll get out of any attempts to persuade, cojole, debate or otherwise you into opening your minds to the God question.
Im here to learn poker, I was simply stating that God is my father, and as real as my flesh an blood father. Do you want proof I have a flesh and blood father as well? Whatever.
How bout you prove to me you arent living in the matrix? And that your entire existence is not some virtual reality generated lie. Have nice day.

I thank you for your answers. I see no reason why you should claim that I or we will never be interested in developing a relationship with god. I am open to any relationship with any divine beings if someone gives me a reason to assume that this being exists and this relationship is worth my time and effort.

I am still interested to hear your the answer to the question: how do you know all of this? how do you know that he exists?

Don't get lost, now.

Merry Christmas, RGT.

lol, tame_deuces is the best!

Happy Birthday Santa!

Sorry, I'm not religious.

Would the mods be willing to confirm or deny if teebeedee is a splendour gimmick? The timing of arrival is just a little to coincidental, and I'd rather not engage if I should just ignore from the start.

It's pretty obvious that it's Splendour.

I will look into it. I haven't been ready that persons posts, but splendour has a pretty distinct posting style

Ugh. Just look at teebeedee's posting history. It couldn't be more obvious. Her 'distinct' posting style is evident in every post this new account has made.

Not that it matters anyway. It's not like Splendour is banned. If she can't help herself from posting in here, she might as well use her regular account.

You guys are just lost in your own matrix reality lol, too blind to admit that God is the creator of this matrix multi-universe we inhabit. You havent taken the red pill yet. God is an OCP (outside of context problem) to your minds, (read Excession by Ian M Banks for context of statement). Im not splendor. Im here to learn poker.

I dont engage atheists any longer, I use to but you are too closed. Im like Neo, and youre like all living in cocoons happy in your virtual reality matrix lives. Im telling you atheists that there is a world outside this one and youre all like what? Thats crazy talk. Hmmph enough. I was simply stating my RGT pov earlier anyways, I wasnt looking for a f debate.

See you at the tables.
Have nice day.

Yes, Hopey and kb are clueless....

Sorry for them bothering you.

Dumb...

and Dumber.

Hopey is the forum's self appointed mod and vigilante....what a hoot...he can't tell his left foot from his right if he's staring at them side by side.

Did you honestly think you would fool anyone?

Why why why won't you stop responding to her? I honestly don't get it. How many people have told you(including the mods that are on her side) that it is only your own fault?
