From my point of view the problem we had was that your argument ("Jesus wasn't called Jesus Christ therefore he didn't exist") was batshit raving crazy and no sane person could possibly accept it. Any idea that I disagreed with it because you were making it is equally divorced from reality.
So I guess you need to improve your own evaluation of what is going wrong.

Well, Crash at the very least you made the argument that it was somehow significant to the idea of Jesus not existing. And that IS batshit crazy.
e.g.
Message 165
When "historical Jesus" proponents actually get around to describing who Jesus Christ actually was, they invariably produce an individual who wasn't named either Jesus or Christ. And the reason I say "wasn't executed by Romans" is because he doesn't seem to have been executed by Romans...
or Message 223
Well, no. We have an utterly implausible story of a "historical Jesus Christ" who wasn't named Jesus Christ, didn't do miracles, may not have been a carpenter, never gave the Sermon on the Mount, didn't magnify the fishes and loaves, wasn't executed by the Romans, and didn't rise from his grave three days later.
And I hope I don't need to go into the silliness of your "doesn't seem to have been executed by Romans" argument. Transliterations and translations are inevitable when you take words from one language to another with a different script. You HAVE to do one or the other. To assign any special significance to them is just silly. Edited by Admin, : No reason given.

While I'm sympathetic to the idea of starting a new thread for a full discussion I really don't see the need to do so for an obvious and trivial point. Names and titles derived through transliteration and/pr translation should be counted as at least similar to the originals (usually they'd be accepted as the same, unless there was an error). And that's because one or the other HAS to be done when going from one language - such as Hebrew - to another - like Greek - with a different alphabet. So if we are dealing with something that is the result of transliteration and/or translation it should count as a similarity. So why list this similarity as a lack of similarity ?

Clearly rational discussion with you on this point is impossible. You think that similar things aren't similar, you think that insignificant differences must be taken as significant. And much, much more. But thanks for proving my point about where the problem is. It's not me - it's you. Edited by AdminModulous, : off topic hidden

RPG.net has the concept of a "thread ban". Maybe the moderators here should be using it.

It's not software controlled at RPG.net either. A moderator just tells the participant to leave the thread. With further sanctions if they don't.

Message 197
A guy who registered in November last year, suddenly decides to post a provocative - but low-content - message in a thread last active in December last year ?

I suspect that maybe a "friend" is using his account to try to troll the board.

Message 1 And I have more sense to click on those links. Don't you do it either. You might find that you get something you didn't want.

What's even stranger is that the idea Marc (incorrectly) complains of is very like his preferred method of dealing with First Amendment violations.

I wish to particularly complain about her posts in this thread which are a nasty and thoroughly dishonest slap in the face to everyone who dared to attempt honest discussion with her.
Personal conviction that the objections are no good is no substitute for real answers to them. And that is all Faith has. That, and the lie that she has already answered them.That's no reason to shut down discussion as Faith has attempted. It is bullying, pure and simple. And then to go whining and lying to the moderators because her bullying didn't work, because people dared to hit back, to claim that she was the victim. That's just disgusting. Faith says she wants people to think about her argument - but she doesn't. The objections to her argument are the product of thinking - really thinking - about her argument. And yet she demands that the objections be discarded without thought, just on her say so. What Faith demands is unthinking agreement. Which is death to discussion - the purpose of this site. And she dares complain that the moderators oppose her ? Ridiculous. Edited by Admin, : Fix typos.
