Things I Hate

[Skiman]

Here we go. I'm just staying out of this one.

I really HATE Van Halen's Panama.

I really don't like it that much than it giving props to "Panama" but they could be talking about Florida for all I know

 

[devilof76]

Yep I ruined all the fun. I killed it because I will not let a thread stay open that bashes gays or immigrants.

Yeah, but you could have let the beatings get a little bloodier.

People are judgmental of everyone, but when you have a god on your side you think you have more clout.

I think it's more than that. I'm judgmental, and I think my side has more clout, but there's no god supporting my judgments, and I'm not racist or homophobic.

I hope I have God on my side as I am religious...but I am not racist or homophobic either.

I'm also not judgmental or think my side has more clout - so there we are different.

 

[devilof76]

So you don't think you're right to not be homophobic or racist? Or that people who are homophobic or racist are wrong?

Says the mod.

What if racists are homophobes?

 

[devilof76]

Then they're twice as wrong.

Says the mod.

I know, huh?

Moderating without judgment is like driving without wheels.

I believe in the Golden Rule and not judging or condemning others. Those people who are homophobic or racist I am sure can find sites or venues where they can share their ideas with others of like minds. I do not agree with their ideas and find them to be hateful and feel they go against the teachings in the Bible - but it is not my place to judge them.

Moderating is making sure people follow the rules on this board that Dave has set. Whether or not people agree with them...it is his board and he makes the rules.

And I go shopping for the escalators.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

I'll judge them for you.

Racists and homophobes suck.

Moderating is making sure people follow the rules on this board that Dave has set. Whether or not people agree with them...it is his board and he makes the rules.

But...you enforce Dave's sense of judgment, and you have to judge which posts are in violation, right?

And I go shopping for the escalators.

No, wait, I get it.

[devilof76]

Being judgmental is easy and fun.

Now you are being silly - deciding whether or not a post violates a board rule is not the same as judging a person.

 

[devilof76]

I guess. I have been known to be from time to time.

You wouldn't be a good mod if you made it personal, and judging in the way you mean would have to be completely personal. Not only would you have to decide that the post is bad, but that the poster is bad as well.

And you don't do that.

 

[sprig0701]

Being judgmental is easy and fun.

Is judging a judgmental person the same as judging a non-judgmental person? Or is that a classic example of two wrongs making a right? Because being Christian I'm not supposed to judge, but not liking what judgmental people are judgmental about .... now I'm just confusing myself

 

[devilof76]

Could you repeat the question?
