Subject: What constitutes 'abuse' on the forum? |
Bible Note: It has come to my attention that threads are restricted when a forum member 'reports abuse'. I would like all forum members to clarify the term abuse. In the thread 93133 several MEMBER CONDUCT rules were violated BEFORE my post. Then after much proding, I posted a portion of an apologetic that offered scriptural interpretation and commentaries from men of different affiliations, for discussion and someone THEN decided to declare 'abuse'.Please remember that disagreement does not constitute divisive... Did my posts constitute abuse? Posting a paper for discussion that is scripturally based though in disagreement with the commonly accepted theology? Isn't this forum a Bible Study forum? This thread was suddenly considered 'abuse' because... 1. You were affraid of the challenge. 2. You feel that if you do not agree you have the right to 'pass judgement'. I wonder what would happen to the forum if everytime someone posted something someone else did not agree with, abuse was reported? The forum would become a 'dead sea' and die. Is that what the rest of the forum members want? I would like very much for other forum members to respond to this post and voice their opinion..should a forum member be allowed to 'report abuse' simply because their beliefs differ or because they do not like the discussion? God bless Ps the thread # was 93133 and my posts were # 94397, 94403, and 94404 for any who may not have been involved in the discussion. If you check out my post and find that it does not have adequate scripture for a forum discussion or is written in a divisive manner, let me know. Remember, disagreement does not constitute divisive. If it did, the forum should shut it's doors now. God bless |
