OT: Something worrying

A better question is, when's the last time a site admin needed to post here?

To be perfectly honest I think everyone may be overreacting a little too much. Atrocities post was trollish but after reading it I ended up laughing because I wondered if he was trying to live up to his name.

But it's escalated pretty quickly, starhawk's post wasn't exactly cool-headed, understandably yes but look at it now. I log on this morning to find 24 replies, normally reserved for the 'heated' political threads.

Sure Atrocities is a Moderator but do we really have to go through the 'hang the moderator' lynch mob? I've come to expect that kind of straight shooting, honest opinion from him over the years.

Let's be honest, He would have said it without being a moderator! But I guess cries of "revolution! Guillotine!" to those in power isn't limited to my french neighbours

(No criticism intended, it's an admirable quality)

It wasn't exactly the most polite opinion ever viewed. It was harsh. But take a moment out, lean back and just wonder if there's a group of people you've felt that about, a topic you might over-react on or an opinion you may have phrased badly. I know I have, on this forum as well.

I guess my point is it was a bad comment and not exactly the best to say in polite company but to 'lose all respect for him' is a little too much.

So bringing the topic around!
Religion? Do you believe it should be mostly a personal belief or mostly an institutionalised one? (i.e. church)

He did say that he was trying to provoke reactions... But yeah, probably time to let it slither into the abyss.

I agree with Narf, that someone's religion shouldn't be forced on someone, and that someone shouldn't be forced to favor one over the other. Organized religions are good if they want to be organized like that, but not nessecary. And I think that harming other people should be out of a religion's reach.

As i have said to others in the past, even though I am a Christian I do not have a religion. What I really have is a faith based on my beliefs. Trully the word reilion and religious goes out to describe the religious zealots that can be found all over the world, ex. the middle east.
