Hey Cyber Dragon,
I can honestly say, I haven’t seen any of the cyber dragon threads, so for me that part is ‘whats that all about?’. What I have seen, is the way you suddenly launch out into huge preachy christian rants in the middle of threads whose original topics have nothing to do with want you are ranting about.
Hmmm… I think that pretty much hits the nail on the head. But here’s the kicker. I’m not a god hating leftwing moonbat evolution believing global warming activistic defender of the seperation of church and state. In fact, I’m just the opposite. I’m a born again, spirit filled (yes to everyone else, that wierd speaking in tounges thing) right wing pro war anti evolution pro life pentecostal christian.
And most of the time, believe it or not, I actually agree in principle with the points you are (trying to) make. Where I think you really miss the mark though is the way you make your points. And where. And when. I came across a perfect example of this as I was wandering through a thread this morning about the new particles, and all of a sudden found myself wading through a slinging match about saying Xmas instead of christmas (which you started).
That had nothing to do with new particles. If you really really have to say something about it, start a thread in the off topic forum. But the way you chose to make your point was by hijacking a completly unrelated thread plain and simple. And that more than anything else I’ve seen you doing around here would have to be the number one reason (in my mind anyway) why people around here get narky at you. Heck, it even rubs me up the wrong way. To me, you are making christians look like a bunch of overbearing bossy nitpickers.
Bottom line, you need to learn the principle of house rules. In your own home, you get to set the rules. You get to say “this is ok, but that is not”. But when you are a guest in someone elses house (i.e. here at this forum), they get to make the rules, and have every right to expect you to play nice or leave. For instance, my sig used to say, “I think evolution is silly”. Ztonzy (a mod for those who do not know) deleted it and asked (told) me not to use anything religious in my sig again. I didn’t like it. Seems to me there a still lots of people saying nasty things about my beliefs in their sig. But its NOT my house, and I don’t get to make the rules. So I’m complying.
Let me be very clear - I haven’t changed my mind about what I believe. I haven’t even changed my mind about finding ways to raise these issues with people who think differently than me. I’ve just realised I need to find a better more relatable way to do it. For me that means making films with stories that better illustrate the principles and truths I believe in. For you it may mean something else.
Just my 200 cents worth.
