    ... in what way does an applicable quote from the site owners with my supporting comment qualify as 'over reacting'?
    your claim that it was a 'personal attack' is an over reaction, a personal attack in my opinion is something more malicious, im not sure if you watched the youtube clip, but it contained nothing specifically offensive, other than a few swear words, which i pre-warned viewers. the title was alluding to the content of the video and calling somebody a caveman is hardly the most offensive thing in the world. so in my opinion your quote from the site owners was not 'applicable' and my claim that you are 'over reacting' is correct.

    Your next thread, maybe, though I'm uncertain as to which RHP Forum. Read "Brave New World" in my early twenties; still think of passages and characters, even now. "Logan's Run" I enjoyed more so than "1984". (gb)

    sounds like he's talking about people deciding to believe things because it suits their needs. something that i think a lot of people do, theist and atheist. i dont agree with his concept of meaningless, its like an oxymoron, he's giving his life meaning by applying a philosophy of meaninglessness. for him its really just a mental construct to act in a certain way.

    I wonder if others also think that you chastising posters for inappropriate forum behaviour is somewhat hypocritical to say the least.

    When have I cast moral judgement over you robbie? I simply ask you questions about your cult religion which you refuse to answer.

    How many is 'many'? Varied (mostly a critical mass of Alerts from detractors). No. At the moment, I'm wearing Blackwatch Plaid Pajamas and my favorite blue slippers (which were received as an unexpected gift when I was paralyzed and near death in February, 2011). And I got a haircut and shampoo Monday from Claudia; in the morning I plan to shave.

    On reflection of your multiple bannings over the years for repeated forum misdemeanours, do you think that preaching forum etiquette to other posters is somewhat hypocritical of you?

    I just think you should look at yourself and your own poor reputation here before pointing fingers at other posters.

    What people think and what God knows are two vastly different things. I keep short accounts: I John 1:9 is in play every day. His Approval matters eternally. The approval of an insecure, easily threatened and fickle herd is worthless. Bob
