DUMB RULES

Ok, brethren, now that there is some peace or truce among us here I will close this thread. After all these arguments, i am sure we understand each of our vi...

Chin Eng SG

1) I will not hesitate to remove any inflammatory comments about anyone or anything in this forum without notice.
What is an inflammatory comment and what is not? Who decides what is inflammatory, the one being "flammed" or the mod?

2) I am aware people have different ideas about the end times even among Christians, so pls refrain from destructive comments about their beliefs. Any negative comments will be deleted or stopped.
What is a destructive comment - definition please. There is a very thin line between this and an overzealous commentary.

3) I welcome even secularists from making comments but personal attacks will not be allowed & i will not hesitate to delete such posts without warning.
This is the most iron-fisted forum in the entire EH. So what's the point?

4) This is a Christian prophetic forum with an emphasis on pre tribulation rapture for the saints altho there r other views also. Pls feel welcome to post such other views.
Bible scholars have for years debated on this topic. Even they cannot agree on the events as described in Revelations. What do you hope to achieve from this?

5) I am not responsible for libel in this forum but i will do my best to warn such people & delete such posts if i come across them.
I am sorry, you ARE responsible because you started it and you are the mod. You cannot wash your hands off this way.

6) Pls be courteous & considerate even if others severely disagree with you.
Probably the only on that makes sense here. But still you can totally disagree with what I have just written and find it offensive and close this thread. Hence lies the power of the mod.

7) Any nonsense will not be tolerated & if you want to post anything, pls think thrice.
Wah! I dam scared already.... thinking four times. Refer to point 3 Laughing

Actually I don't even know why you bother with this forum.... EH will serve this purpose just as well. Perhaps it's because there are too many serious minded Christians there checking up on such topics and allegations???? So you can now mod your own postings???

John The Baptist SG

Yes, you make very valid comments. Thanks for these comments.

1) Regarding what is inflammatory or not, it is very subjective to diff ppl but the mod has the last say just like in EH.

2) Destructive comments are when ppl attack the person's brain faculties, way of reasoning, implying he has no brains when everyone should be given a chance to air his/her views, no matter how ridiculous. Yes, i agree it's a very thin line bcos each person has a certain limit of tolerance.

3) Sorry, but w/c forum is not iron fisted in a way? W/c govt or corporation or institution is not iron fisted in a way? Or for that matter w/c society, family or even social grps is not iron fisted in a way also? Yes, the point is different views are allowed here but pls dont go into fits of anger or tirades against opposing views. Or all out war might start here or anywhere else for that matter.

4) I just want to state my basic beliefs so that ppl posting here are prepared where i come from. As i said, this forum is titled "Apocalyptic Prophecies" & Christians doesnt have the ONE & ONLY view abt this. Even muslims, buddhists, taoists, atheists, agnostics, cultists, Moonies, JWs, Mormons, catholics etc etc have their views abt apocalpyse. Can any grp silence them so easily? Do i or u for this matter want to break the religious harmony laws by not allowing any dissenting views but proclaiming outright that my view or your view of Christianity apocalpyse IS the right way, & the rest ALL wrong?

5) I WONT & DONT START ANY LIBELS NOT HERE. How could i be responsible for any libellious statements made when I wasnt the author? Can u blame the mod for sgforums.com for any libellious comments made anywhere in this big forum? If so, i think they would have been sued already. Then where is freedom of speech or expression in the internet here? As i repeat, i wont tolerate any libel & i wont hesitate to warn or delete such posts, so that i wont be responsible. Then my hands r clean.

6) As i said, i will only close or delete a thread when it's not very valid so i wont close yours here. I might not have your intelligence or way of reasoning but i respect your opinions. It's very valid anywhere in this sgforums.com forum. Yes the mod has fantastic powers regarding his own forum. I admit this.

7) Well, if u arent thinking of personal attacks, u shouldnt be fearful. Bcos laws r meant for those who try to break them. Thanks for your comments. I will improve myself as i go along. I welcome u to post here. Smile

happyharvest SG

I suggest CHIN ENG to not END his SENTENCES with so many ??????????? AND not to put CAP everynow and then because this will make your post sound UNFRIENDLY and RUDE. And this will make YOU seem IMPATIENT to CORRECT and EXPLAIN to people their MISTAKE. I hope YOU would CORRECT YOUR MISTAKES (do YOU want ME to put CAP every now and then????????). Even JTB HEED your ADVICE and not put CAP in his post????

CHIN ENG, please CORRECT your STYLES?????

THANK YOU ????

M©+square SG

Haiii….

NT2 SG

you urself also use cap mah

CAP is nice....easy to read. CE is an uncle leh....wat u expect? Mr. Green

happyharvest SG

I using his style lar. Show him how disrespectful the post can look like.

happyharvest SG

What can I expect from uncle? I thought he is a patient uncle?

happyharvest SG

Ok, I gtg liao. Maybe I return in a few days time. Cya.

Chin Eng SG

Hai... kids....

I put cap in heading because we were taught to capitalize subject matters. Part of the upbringing of twenty years ago, check with your parents.

I put cap in paragraph to highlight/emphasize words. Check on any good books which needed to emphasize certain words.

I sound unfriendly and rude to you because I want to sound unfriendly and rude to you. It has nothing to do with the bolds or cap. Anyway I have never claim to be humble. I will openly admit that I am arrogant. That's one of my darker side. So let God deal with me on this one. Do you mind bolded letters.... suddenly I am afraid to offend you. How about Italized ones, or underlined emphasis. Or a combination of all three Tell me which you prefer and I will stick to it.

If I appear impatient to you, it's okay with me. You opinion really matters very little to me. I have also never claimed to be patient, it's others who said that I am very patient and I have stated on record that this observation is not an accurate observation. Actually I am a very impatient person.

You can cap all you want, because it's your finger that's typing, not mine. Sure go ahead and copy my style, see if it bothers me.

JTB heed my advice of not PUTTING ALL CAPS IN HIS NOTES. Actually, that advice did not come from me alone, so the observation is quite universal. Of course, there are others who think my style needed some correction, I will be happy to hear them. Coming from you? Nah!

You are missing the point of how to write notes and emails.

Email etiquette states that fully capping the entire note is liken to shouting, whether the shouting is intended or not. JTB's did not intend to shout. So he is able to understand where the others (and myself) are coming from. In any given paragraph, when the writer needs to emphasize a point, the writer can either bold, italized, underline or colorize a word or a phrase. As long as it is done in small dosage, it is ok.

The question marks??? Well if you read comics enough, you know that in any speech bubbles, multiple question marks emphasize the importance of the question or the high level of confusion.

Do you understand???????????????

Let me help you understand that I am arrogant, impatient, and absolutely hate stupidity. I have told you my problems.... so what are yours???? Laughing

P,E,A,C,E.. (for decorative purpose only) and a happy happy happy day to you (also decorative only)

Chin Eng SG

Boy, boy, don't go, don't go.... come back and play... Laughing

Chin Eng SG

Boh pian... the other one at EH close already... Laughing

Hey, mod... you think HH's note is a personal attack???

WiNtEr'SkiLL SG

Mr. Green

John The Baptist SG

I dont think so. If he's is a personal attack, then i will have to delete or warn both of u. Pls remember that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble if u're reading your bible correctly or perhaps u arent reading the bible but just dissecting our english or intelligence?

John The Baptist SG

He's just trying to make a point here. If CE didnt use CAPS, there's no need for HH to use CAPS here also. I thot uncle should be more mature than kids like us or really he went senile already? Smile

Well then why do u accuse me of shouting by putting caps then last time? It's ok. I overdid it. I am sorry abt that. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God & in due time He will lift u up! So why not humble yourself so that God can lift you up? Isnt that better than to put others down? Bcos when God lifts u up, who can put u down?

I am not sure whether u believe what the bible say but if u say we're stupid, then i dont know what to say. Prob u think the bible or God's word is stupid. Or we're stupid not to interpret the bible correctly or to your understanding. Or God in the bible is STUPID? Cool

Chin Eng SG

Laughing I thought you'd feel that way.

No need to go the way of "read the Bible..." and all that lah. Nope, in this instance there is nothing to read about. Or if there is, then we all, you, him, me need to read the Bible more....

Still is it the reading part or the acting out part? You think?

Maybe it's the english, maybe it's the intelligence, maybe it's the logic, you decide Laughing

He's just trying to make a point here. If CE didnt use CAPS, there's no need for HH to use CAPS here also. I thot uncle should be more mature than kids like us or really he went senile already?

Aiyah, the caps again. I say I don't care if he wants to use caps lah.

Gotta dissect again, sorry. Accusation: putting the blame on someone, especially when there is not truth in the allegation. If you overdid it, then it is NOT an accusation. You apologised before, let's move on. I did not bring it up again.

Evil or Very Mad Don't put words in my mouth, where did I say the Bible or God's word is stupid? YOU NEED TO SUBSTANTIATE YOUR REMARKS!
Where did you read that I say "you are stupid because you don't interpret the Bible correctly" or even "to my understnading" AGAIN PLEASE SUBSTANTIATE YOUR ALLEGATIONS otherwise this is DEFAMATION and YOU ARE SPEAKING UNTRUTH (oops! sorry about the caps - they are meant to be emphasis).
Evil or Very Mad Where did you read that I say or wrote or impied that God in the Bible is stupid?
IF YOU CANNOT FIND A SINGLE QUOTATION FROM ME on this, you owe me an apology!

Remember your position, you are the mod here, if you cannot even read and understand what people are writing, you better get another job. Or you are now abusing your power as moderator to shower false allegations on those who come in here?

I know what character flaws I have. Do you know yours?

Chin Eng SG

Johnnie boy: you are violating your own rules:

1) I will not hesitate to remove any inflammatory comments about anyone or anything in this forum without notice.
An inflammatory comment start by HH goes unnoticed by you. Yes, this is a spillover from EH, it is still inflammatory.

2) I am aware people have different ideas about the end times even among Christians, so pls refrain from destructive comments about their beliefs. Any negative comments will be deleted or stopped.
You are personally making destructive comments about me by making unsubstiated allegations.

3) I welcome even secularists from making comments but personal attacks will not be allowed & i will not hesitate to delete such posts without warning.
See point 2.

4) This is a Christian prophetic forum with an emphasis on pre tribulation rapture for the saints altho there r other views also. Pls feel welcome to post such other views.
I have not comment on the content in this forum out of respect for you, my sole contribution in this whole thread before HH's post was on your guidelines. HH has changed the entire focus of your forum. What are you doing about it?

5) I am not responsible for libel in this forum but i will do my best to warn such people & delete such posts if i come across them.
Oh yes you are! By making totally untrue allegations about me.

6) Pls be courteous & considerate even if others severely disagree with you.
Have you been courteous to me in your last post?

7) Any nonsense will not be tolerated & if you want to post anything, pls think thrice.
How many times have you thought about it before you start showering me with accusations?

I NEED YOU TO PROVE THE ACCUSATIONS OTHERWISE nee wo mei wan mei liao!

Hello uncle CE, why are u so serious like I really accuse u? I quote u here:

Do you understand???????????????

Let me help you understand that I am arrogant, impatient, and absolutely hate stupidity. I have told you my problems.... so what are yours????

What're u implying yourself? That HH doesnt understand bcos he stupid one or he not stupid one? You absolutely hate stupidity, so do u hate me if i sounded stupid or for that matter whoever that replies to u? Well, u very well know your own problems so why rake up other ppl's problems to justfify your own probs?

I quote myself here:

Prob u think the bible or God's word is stupid. Or we're stupid not to interpret the bible correctly or to your understanding. Or God in the bible is STUPID?

I said PROBABLY not ABSOLUTELY. Why u jump at this? Relax man. I know S'pore very stressed up. I used question marks w/c means i dont know your true intentions or implications. Sorry if i offended u. Sorry if i misunderstood u. Just guessing that's all. Pls dont be like govt who jumps at every comment. I am allowing so much leeway here in this forum & i still allow u to make your comments, so am i still iron-fisted like what u said abt me?

Ok i apologise that i was unfair at the implication, as i have explained my position above. I was only conjecturing bcos i m not u. I am also not God who can read your mind. Or else u will be worshipping me already. Laughing

I also quote u here:

I thought you'd feel that way.

No need to go the way of "read the Bible..." and all that lah. Nope, in this instance there is nothing to read about. Or if there is, then we all, you, him, me need to read the Bible more....

Still is it the reading part or the acting out part? You think?

Maybe it's the english, maybe it's the intelligence, maybe it's the logic, you decide

Why u add laughter smileys to before & after this quote? What are u implying abt me also? That i throw out my bible & not ask ppl to read the bible even tho i am a Christian who has every right to read the bible & quote bible verses here in my own Christian forum. Then why not u go to buddhist forum & ask them not to quote from the buddhist scriptures or not to read their scriptures? Why also u dont question their acting out & come attack me or other Christians here for our acting out? But i thank God that u remind us to act out what we preach but pls be reminded we are saved by God's grace & no one is righteous, no not one, all have gone astray each to his own way. & God looked from heaven to see who can be saved but no one! So it's His grace that i being a sinner was saved. Are u intent on making everyone here in this sgforums.com own up to their flaws?
