Re: [TruthTalk] Is it wrong to insult a religion?

[Lance Muir]

Hello Christine:I'd characterize the 'cartoon incident' as much ado about something. I seem to recall our moderator taking exception to a similarly moderate incident whereafter he actually said he'd 'show up a somebody's door'. He apparently meant it.   I do not see either Dean or your dad as modern day Elijah's so, when mockery is included in their 'gospel' they'd best be prepared for what those being mocked deem legitimate retaliation. ----- Original Message ----- From: Christine Miller To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: February 26, 2006 15:05 Subject: [TruthTalk] Is it wrong to insult a religion?

Lance, what are your thoughts regarding the Cartoon wars? -Christine PS- Thanks for the invite, Dean. I will try to become as active as my studies allow. (emphasis on the "as my studies allow" part.)

If John Lennon were to have been my brother then, I'd most assuredly receive that as an personal insult. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dean Moore To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: February 26, 2006 09:06 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] *********** To all list members-ModeratorComment***************       ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Muir To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 2/26/2006 7:34:48 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] *********** To all list members-ModeratorComment*************** IFO took your, and Judy's, evaluation of John Calvin to be nothing short of an insult. However, should you 'rule' on this matter thus eliminating your/my assessment to be off limits then, we would have no ongoing dialogue. cd: Maybe to John Calvin but not towards you-see the difference?If the truth insults then that person needs to change not the truth. If I were to say that John Lennon was a pig-that is acceptable as I am not making a personal attack on you.But if I were to insult you by calling you names then I have personally attacked you and would be in error to do so Lance. If I were to say to DavH : Mormons are stupid I have not attacked DavH but rather my attack was on the teaching of Mormonism. In short-express your self but don't let it get personal.   By the way, wasn't there some kind of mystery 'rule' about not responding to posts with the above  subject heading?   No-there isn't any "new rule". This is the same rule Perry enforced. If I make the call that someone has broken the Ad. Hom. rule- that protects others from verbal assaults- then reply to that in private. If I did not enforce this then the issue of that person wrongs will become part of the debate and become unsolvable as others got involved.-this is for you protection as well as others. The non-enforcing of some past Moderators has lead to many good minds leaving this site.If these attacks continue Lance it will only be a couple of people here and how long can two /three people carry on the same conversation? ----- Original Message ----- From: Dean Moore To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: February 26, 2006 07:10 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] *********** To all list members-Moderator Comment***************       ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Muir To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 2/26/2006 4:13:42 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] *********** To all list members-Moderator Comment*************** You spoke my question "G"????????? Moderator-This simply means that the rules against insults and personal attacks are going to be unforced by me-others are under my protection and will get fair treatment-I owe that to God not to those who will not keep their agreement and abide by the rules.   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: February 25, 2006 18:07 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] *********** To all list members-Moderator Comment*************** ftr, what does this mean?   On Sat, 25 Feb 2006 16:40:32 -0500 "Dean Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: I plan on enforcing the rules of protection on TT against those who love ch[ao]s Yahoo!
