Moderators are weenies. You guys close threads way too easily when they really get good and heated up. I know you'll eventually close this one, too. I just figured I'd vent a little first.I'm sure your job isn't always easy, but you guys do spoil some of the fun.

Wow,,,this was a very short vent

Romans 12:19 Don't seek revenge ... give place to God's wrath. For it is written "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord"
Isa. 30:32
And every blow of the rod of punishment, which the Lord will lay on him, will be with the music of tambourines and lyres; And in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them

You think so? Personally I think it's the other way around. Threads open way too long.Moderators are weenies. You guys close threads way too easily when they really get good and heated up. I know you'll eventually close this one, too. I just figured I'd vent a little first.
It is only the cynic who claims “to speak the truth” at all times and in all places to all men in the same way, but who, in fact, displays nothing but a lifeless image of the truth… He dons the halo of the fanatical devotee of truth who can make no allowance for human weaknesses; but, in fact, he is destroying the living truth between men. He wounds shame, desecrates mystery, breaks confidence, betrays the community in which he lives, and laughs arrogantly at the devastation he has wrought and at the human weakness which “cannot bear the truth”. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in Ethics.

Hmm. Interesting point of view. However, I've seen numerous posts, some not lasting very long, that were really interesting but somebody got kinda upset at another poster and didn't exactly hide it and the mods saw this and said "Poof!"I know the mods aren't evil or anything, just uptight.

I see what you're saying. Perhaps it'd better to just forbid the ones who are fighting to dialog in that thread, than to close the whole thing down.

If Satan can keep us busy swinging our swords at one another, there is no hope of a united attack on the kingdom of darkness. KJV, NIV, ESV or ABCDEFG; there is no time to bicker over such things. We'll devour each other if allowed to continue. We should grab the marching orders written in the way we best understand and get to work.

I'm not touching this one...
Technically, you just did.
2 Peter 1:1-11 Live it!
Sometimes... it is too fast but then that depends on the moderator and ultimately that's their call. There are times when we reopen a thread after things have had some time to cool down or the thread has been cleaned up etc. Depends on a number of things really. Keep in mind that we do try and stay consistent but even then every mod is who they are. To one... it's just a little bit of a pee'ing contest and they'll work it out once they run dry. To another mod... it's a blood bath. Myself... most are just pee'ing contest and save a person or two in the thread... it's sort of fun to watch.Hmm. Interesting point of view. However, I've seen numerous posts, some not lasting very long, that were really interesting but somebody got kinda upset at another poster and didn't exactly hide it and the mods saw this and said "Poof!"But then I am sort of twisted like that in my wiring.
We really do try to remain consistent but that's got to be loosely defined taking into account personalities of the mod's. If it is just a bad call then we can fix it easy enough. If it is simply a judgment call... then we'll likely let that rest on the mod's decision. Often times... the mod themselves reopen the thread after a day or so of chilling out. Some though, just need to stay closed. Once a thread has gone 400 or so post and it gets shut down... usually best to let that puppy stay shut down.
Visit our new website! The Blog might interest some.. and Lord help me!!!... for those that twitter... there as well.

That's the first time I've been called that! I've accepted the title of "Board Meanie" and just about learned to live with it....
Usually folks end up getting madder at ME than someone else in the thread.
Bless my heart.........
My favorite scripture: Malachi 3:16
"Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name!" (Every time we speak of the Lord, or even THINK of him--its written down in a book of remembrance!)
