Re: Rob
Being as objective as possible, I think the general tone of both Rob and kuresu of late has been patronizing, and the posts primarily OT attacks on the other's lack of knowledge. Rob certainly uses some imagery that will make a christian blush, but I see no ill-will. He is more-or-less trying to be a mentor, but I suppose it is not appreciated or perhaps not the right tactic.
Oh, and maybe not the right place? There are an awful lot of threads which seem to discuss people rather than ideas.

i need a mentor, I'll go to someone like jar.
I don't want to mentor you either, but honestly, picking a mentor who you agree with is not always learning. I don't agree with everything that jar says, or that Rob says, but I can learn from both. I can try to see what they are saying rather than how they are saying it. Both jar and Rob can be abrasive if you don't recognize the intent that they have. I am assuming and hoping that both have the best intentions.
i don't have the time of day for someone who insuates that I support Hitler's actions.
He doesn't. He seems to think that Hitler's evil was the result of a thought process taken to its extreme limit. Hardly any amoung us will reach that limit, but it is not unfair to say that ANY thought process at its extreme limit is either really bad, or really good. Rob wants to teach you about these extremes, but it is hard to grasp.
I also don't have the time of day for someone who still doesn't realize, after being repeatedly told, that I recognize right and wrong, just not sin. he still thinks that that means i think wrong actions are merely mistakes.
I think Rob realizes what you say. He knows you are decent. He just does not think that there is any hope without recognizing sin, and he is hoping to 'save' you, not libel you.
I do agree with a suspension, based on insulting language of an uneccessary degree, and more OT attempts at conversion. Attempts that are on topic are fine . I just realize that to Rob, saving people is a vital matter of life and death to a soul. He gets on you because he cares, not because he wants to insult. If you have no time of day for him, by all means do not feel that you need to respond to his posts. Maybe you should just ask that he not respond to yours unless directed to him?
