Is this carp normal ??

[modestbods]

Hi all,

tonight I decided to pay the Community Spirit boards a visit for the first time ever.

I have found myself confronted with numerous religious threads.

Is this normal for the CS boards?

I would like to know because I have much better things to do with my time.

cheers

no fortunately it's not the norm. I have complained to lithium about it and asked for them to have their own forum so they can go at it. Or even better just ban political and religious threads altogether.

Are you for real?  Why would you feel the need to "ban" such threads? What is wrong with discussing religion? Have people become so shallow these days that all they can talk about are superficial/materialistic topics for fear of being "offended" or "confronted" by someones who has a strong opinion on something, namely religion, that differs from their own? 

I started posting here because I was impressed that people were actually discussing topics related to religion.  This idea that we shouldn't talk about politics, religion or money is more than carp imo.  These are some of the most important topics in life to discuss and I would probably cease posting here all together if these topics were banned... 

Um yeah.... welcome to CS Modestbods 🙂

Freedom of speach and all that...........

But some of the threads are just plain vicious and posted for that reason alone (and I am relating to the one particular poster "he who can not be named" - mainly becuase they have had so many different ones, names I mean).

Any one can join in or choose not to, but IMO the mods either need to have a seperate forum where anything goes, as suggeseted by Harley, or police them a bit better because outright abuse regarding someone's religious beliefs is not acceptable. 

Have a read through some of them and you will see what has got some posters backs up regarding this.

As to politics, I couldn't care one way or the other, and most posters while they may get a bit huffy, don't get down right nasty and abusive with each other.

"You obviously consider yourself to be the Queen B around these parts, and I guess your small entourage tagging along behind you (seeming to be comprised of the usual type of hangers on) helps to reinforce that delusion in your mind.

Well, I'm sorry to burst your Icy bubble but unless your name is John Donahoe, you aren't the landlord of this 'house'. You don't get to say who does or doesn't have the right to stay here, and you don't get to lay the ground rules here either. If you don't like it, then that's just one more 'lump' you'll have to take right along with all your other lumps."

Who's John Donahoe?

"... to then be followed a little later by some from your 'chorus' of hangers on.

Given that I don't take you to be an ignorant fanatic (petty, spiteful, & vindictive possibly yes, but ignorant fanatic no) i'm not too sure why you did take offence at my opening post. Maybe you were just having a bad day/week, maybe Dianne Keaton had stopped taking your calls or something, I really don't know why you might have been in a foul mood & tbph I really don't care.

 "But it's all good, as it's turned out this thread has very effectively helped me to quickly identify who's who, & who not to include on my Christmas Card list. 

Out of curiosity, what is your little group called? TheSnowflakes? The Icicles? The Icy Pops perhaps? Ohhh wait,... I see now, it's the Outcasts. Hmmmm maybe you should consider changing the name to the Castouts, given that appears to be your favourite thing to try to do to newcomers to these boards."

"I'm actually rather flattered to find myself being stalked by a veteran poster such as yourself."

Well! I certainly seem to have hit a raw nerve there, to elicit such a barrage 

There's nothing the denizens of CS enjoy more than a good biffo, and we appear to have hit the motherlode with you.

 You'll fit right in, alright.

Looking forward to your continued presence in the "house".

Have a read through some of them before they get tidied up by a mod and you will see what has got some posters backs up regarding this.

Good points GC, I just added a little something. Not sure if you had noticed but at least one of those threads I linked now looks nothing like it did when it was current. It almost appears civil now.

It's okay GC, it took a reread but I had figured that out.
