An Open Letter to Brimstonesalad

[Jesus Christ is Hard]

Dear Brimstonesalad,

I would like to say Thank You for allowing me to have my name changed back, however, you have no right to change it simply because of my grammer. I must tell you that I have been on several forums like this and none have been quite as rude as you! I can also assure you that you would have certainly not have changed an Athiest's name had they have used improper spelling, punctuation and grammer. So, please, don't be such a Hypocrite! I would really appreciate it if you allow me to type how I wish! Nevertheless, Jesus still loves you, despite how you treat you fellow man, so please, accept him into your heart as your lord and saviour.

God bless you sir, have a very peaceful day.

Your username was not changed because of your grammar, it was changed because you ignored a warning (several different warnings, actually, from several users) and flatly violated the forum rules a number of times.
The most egregious was the one I linked you to, where you responded to a thread by quoting the entire post, and said only "TL;DR". As I said, this is a discussion forum, not a spam forum. You need to be willing to engage in discussion here. You don't have to agree with what others say, but you need to read and address others' arguments, and try to be logical.

You could have also been banned. If Dan were around at the moment, you probably would have been.
Your user name was changed to alert you to the severity of your infractions, because you were ignoring warnings.
It worked.

As far as I can recall, only two users have been banned here.
One was an atheist, the other was a neonazi Christian (or claimed to be).

I would really appreciate it if you allow me to type how I wish!

A number of users have been complaining about your writing, it's difficult to read. Everybody here is held to some standard of writing coherently. You will not find any active user with such bad grammar and excessive use of bad abbreviations and caps.
If you see such a post from another user, you are welcome to report it. Contrary to your claims, you're not receiving any special treatment, except that you were spared from banning (which was in your favor) and given a lesser censure.

My "TL;DR" post was a protest against Athiest like yourself who make absurdly long posts trying to diminish God's glory. GOD WILL BE GLORIFIED WHETHER IN HEAVEN OR IN HELL!!! And I am being logical, as I have said, I have given numerous times proofs of God's existence but you Athiests are like "Hurr durr well I can't see him so he doesn't exist! HAAHAHAHAH!" And I could of been banned if "Dan" was around? Believe me, if any of you Athiests try to ban me I will tell my mum and she will get the nerds that she works with to hack you! So there! And you've banned an Athiest and a Neonazi Christian? Well here's what I think really happened:
-You haven't banned any Athiests and you are making it up
-The Christian you banned wasn't a Neonazi but a decent bloke and you have called him a Nazi because you disagree with him, believe me, I am a UKIP voter and I get called a Nazi a lot of the time even though UKIP is not a Nazi Party, it is the same for any body in America who disagrees with Obama

God Bless You Sir, He still loves you

Weak. It doesn't matter what "justification" you want to make, it's not allowed. If you don't want to engage with something, leave it alone.

"TL;DR" posts are just not allowed here. This is a discussion forum, and posting that is spamming.
If you wanted to post something about how you think your god would be glorified regardless of what arguments are made against it, that might be OK because such a post (if well framed) could have substance. You will either reply with substance, or not at all.

For this reason, you have been banned (you were warned).
You have NOT been banned for the beliefs you hold, you have not been banned for being a Christian.
Christians are very welcome here if they engage in discussion. In fact, we would love to have more Christians join us, which is why I want to make very clear to others why you were banned.

This is not a place for you to spam your posts, and ignore what others say. This is a place for discussion and dialogue, and that goes both ways.

Here is the post for which you were banned:

TL;DR

This kind of post is considered SPAM. It is not necessary to reply to a thread just to say that you didn't read it.
Either engage in conversation and say something productive, or leave it alone.

If you do this kind of thing again, you will probably be banned, and your posts removed.

If you wish to remain active on this forum, read the post which you neglected to read, and respond to it properly.

Also: Stop using troll-speak. Forum members are complaining about it. No more abbreviations. Type out your words, and spell check, as if this were an essay for a class in University.

And no more CAPS, except for where grammatically necessary.
If you want to emphasize a particular point, you may underline it or format it in bold.

TL;DR

Also, your user name has been restored to its full glory.
Why? Because trolls and spammers don't care much about being banned, but you seemed not to like that.
Maybe this will make you think twice about trollish spamming in the future.

And I am being logical, as I have said, I have given numerous times proofs of God's existence but you Athiests are like "Hurr durr well I can't see him so he doesn't exist! HAAHAHAHAH!" And I could of been banned if "Dan" was around? Believe me, if any of you Athiests try to ban me I will tell my mum and she will get the nerds that she works with to hack you!

This threat is in violation of local law. Your mother could go to prison for this. We have your IP address, and the local police and your ISP may be informed of this illegal cyber-terrorist threat.

This, on its own, would be sufficient grounds to ban you if you hadn't already flagrantly violated the rules with your "TL;DR" spam.

So there! And you've banned an Athiest and a Neonazi Christian? Well here's what I think really happened:
-You haven't banned any Athiests and you are making it up

It was a long time ago. I will post back if I can find it (can anybody help me out here? I don't remember his username).

-The Christian you banned wasn't a Neonazi but a decent bloke and you have called him a Nazi because you disagree with him, believe me, I am a UKIP voter and I get called a Nazi a lot of the time even though UKIP is not a Nazi Party, it is the same for any body in America who disagrees with Obama

God doesn't love anybody, because god doesn't exist. If you didn't break the rules here, you would be welcome to argue that it does exist, but unfortunately you refused to behave yourself in accordance with the most basic forum etiquette -- treating this place as a discussion forum.

Brimstone, are you a moderator?

That's the one! Thanks.
I don't see the thread anywhere. This is all I could find:

I just remember he kind of exploded.
I think his behavior was related to his mental illness, so I felt bad for him.


Jebus, while Dan's away. TVA warned him but is busy (I can't wait to see that video on Dillahunty, really excited to see the reception).
Aside form the occasional spammer and rare extreme cases of nutjobs like this, IMO forums don't really need (or benefit from) heavy moderation.

I think it's important for other prospective Christians who might join the forum to know that they won't be treated unfairly (be subject to intellectual pwnage, yes, but not treated unfairly or banned for their beliefs). "Jesus Christ is Lord" had to cross the line first, several times in a row after repeated warnings.

This is the thread where he lost it - although, those posts are all deleted.

Thanks! I don't know why I couldn't find it.
