If you set about doing something with an objective, and you
realise that the objective CANNOT be met, you decide not to pursue
it anymore, is that escapism? I'll say that it is pragmatism.
Jason is doing things for financial reasons..... he mod or don't
mod nobody cares. The main mod carries more power, hence there are
some things a mod like myself cannot do.
The issue is: responsibility and accountability. The mindset of
a Christian. I would not want to be in sillyme's position. One of
the purpose of the forum is to help young seekers or even young
Christian come to terms with Biblical lessons. When such threads
get hijacked and name calling or mud slinging happens, there is a
sense of responsibility to put things right. The question really is
NOT the DEBATES or the CHATS. I think we'd said many times, that
this is not a problem. The problem is when folks come in to provoke
with rude words and ill-intentions.
Whether a forum is unmoded or not, it's up to that mod. Look at
AA when one time not too long ago, there was a big blow up. Some
threads CANNOT BE UNMODERATED. I am sure you will agree that
religion is a sensitive issue, even if one calls himself and
atheist (not referring to you) may not like to be challenged.
That's why I totally disagree with Christians going to any such
forums to whack.
I guess the decision rest solely on sillyme. Anyone else can
take up the next step. laoda is already doing something about it,
maybe dave may be next.... all the best to them. Yes, nothing
changes ---- except that if you don't feel like doing something,
you should not be pressured by others to continuing proding
especially when one's life take on another direction.
.... nonetheless thanks for your comments....
