Ebenz, what is “Disrespect”?
"Hi ebenz.
You banned me for “Disrepect towards TOL staff:

Very Christian indeed.'

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Knight is not a blasphemer. To accuse him of such is your first mistake. Nothing more need be said..."
Of course Krystyna cannot reply after this post as he/she is again banned-- again. Maybe TOL could use more male moderators? I somehow think that Knight can take it.
[Excessive banning ] Are you sure you want to go down that road, SD?
Do you ban people when they do not adore you?
"...[O]ut of all the times that krystyna has been banned, I've banned her twice; both times, for disrespecting TOL staff..."
Would it kill you moderators to offer a little leeway? Isa 1:18. We don't need librarian types banning people for minor offences. In my opinion, these roles should be filled by men because they are less emotional.
"Too bad it's not your job to decide who should be a moderator, then. Knight thinks that I am up to the job..."
If he must pick a woman, I'm sure he's made a good choice in you.
"So, I will do my best to live up to his expectations as far as moderating TOL goes. I'm not worried about whether you or anyone else likes my style of moderating or not."
TOL shouldn't become like the atheist forums. In those places Christians are not free to offer their arguments.
"If Knight thinks that my banning Krystyna was wrong, he will unban Krystyna..."
I'm not saying it was wrong. I'm speaking in general. Krystyna is on the loosing side of the argument in this case. So, let her be ridiculous. We win on the battlefield of ideas (Eph 6:12). Silencing the critic is a tactic of the Left.
"...But, moderating is not done for popularity. If people don't like the way I do it, they still have to live with it because Knight chose me as a moderator. He didn't take a vote of the members of TOL."
I'm not going
to loose any sleep if Krystyna, an antichrist, spends time in
the sin bin.
I do care when these excessive bans get in the way of a prophetic burden. Think
twice before banning a Christian. We get the word of God out.
Iron sharpens iron (Pr
27:17).
"I usually think long and hard about banning anyone..."
I know you do because you gave me a warning rather than banning me.
"...[E]xcept for people who try to sell things without permission on TOL, whether they agree with me theologically or not..."
Sounds right to me. In one case I thought TOL was unfair and that was with Joey. Again, I don't have all of the facts but I have ten friends and one is permanently banned. I miss Joe Joe.
Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Superbowl Sunday] "Actually, SD, I've witnessed an amazing amount of tolerance and patience from the moderators on this forum."
I agree. Imagine having to put up with us and I am not privy to the specifics in each case. They do a fine job. Besides, all the men are watching football now.
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "I hope that I'm not next. But I think Mr Knight is doing a great job. So I am safe. But on the other hand what makes this site great is the folks who discuss and debate. Everyone should be able to be indifferent without the threat of being banned..."
You, being an
antichrist, would say that (Ga
5:9).
See:
Satan, Inc. (TOL's heretic's list)
The Jesus test, the gospel test, and the fruit test
"...As long as they do it in a pleasant manner with respect for the other person thoughts..."
They tolerate you (Hos 3:1).
"Peace."
Isa 48:22
