About infractions
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[I]f they are shown to lie repeatedly it is not wrong to call them false brethren and liars."
You're
expecting administrators to be discerning.
The
reason
for this infraction was changed
to sound better.
If it helps any, even though you are a
Leftist (Eccl
10:2),
I would not hold an infraction against you.
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...It is a waste of time to attempt to change that over which one has no control."
I believe Totton Linnet is helping to make others aware of the goings on around here. Would you silence him/her for doing this? Do you think this thread will be shut down soon?
"No, I would not silence her. I have gone out on a limb by saying the things I have said! I believe in fair play but I don't run the place."
Why so many TOL housekeeping threads lately? E.g. Personal attacks at TOL, Reputation Year of Jubilee, Why are all my friends getting banned?, Positive Reps: The Game
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "The problem is when the rules aren't applied evenly. One person's "name-calling without cause" is another person's "truth smack," depending on who's saying it - and as a result infractions are unevenly applied."
You value
egalitarianism.
We value excellence (Eccl
10:2,
Jn 14:6).

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...Serpent....leftwing does not have the same connotations in Britain as it does in the USA....here they are all equally liberal in moral matters."
We're big on
freedom here (Jn
8:36)
though I wouldn't go
this far:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say
it."
~ Evelyn Beatrice Hall
Eccl 10:2,
Jn 10:10
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "It's fitting that you're wearing a crown while using the royal "we.""
It is (Jn 5:24, 1 Pe 2:9, 1 Jn 3:1, Jas 1:12).
"Serpentdove believes, she believes..."
1 Jn 2:3, ESV
See:
How can we know if our faith is real?
"We're not talking about religion."
It's not about religion (Jud 11). It's about a relationship (1 Co 2:2).
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "How can you get someone in trouble if they haven't done anything wrong?"
Eph 6:12
Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Resurrected quote: How can you get someone in trouble if they haven't done anything wrong?] "That's kind of hard to do on TOL."
