Re: The Beginning

There were no instances in any of those threads of NJ equating homosexuality with rape.
Exactly, but that's where it began. Then old baggage was added in the Moderation thread and it escalated.

Re: What is the conclusion (Part B)?

So no - I don't think, based on that evidence, that NJ 'relentlessly' pursued berberry.
I agree.
The original complaint by Berberry was more about NJ's presumption of moral superiority and the fact that my Admin Msg was attached to his post. They also didn't like the idea that I considered their line of discussion off topic.
I don't feel that foul language belongs in the Faith and Belief Forum.
The Coffee House or Free For All is another matter.

Re: What is the conclusion (Part B)?
quote:
If siblings want to marry, but are disallowed because it is illegal, you have to ask the question why it is illegal if they are above the age of consent. Aren't they prohibited on the basis of someone else's version of morality and not their own?
I thought inbreeding was the reasoning behind not allowing those too closely related to marry today.

Good Grief
quote:
What would have happened, do you think, if you had simply listened to berberry from the beginning? If you had had enough sense to realize that Hryo-nee-NJ was the source of the problem and put your attentions to him first, exactly how much grief could have been saved?
A lot of grief would have been saved if the participants had followed the first Admin msg to get back on topic and gotten back on topic.
