1. Avoid personal attacks. If you don't agree with what someone posted, debate their post... not the person that posted it. (I.e. Do not attack the character of a forum member)

2. No profanity, vulgarities, obscenities, swearing, name-calling, or mockery.

3. Try your hardest to post in the appropriate thread. Posts found to be off-topic will be deleted. Don't get upset if I delete your post. If your post is deleted, and you didn't save it, email me and I'll see if I have the copy in my mailbox.

4. Inserting Pornography will not be allowed in any way, shape, or form. This includes hyperlinks.

5. No advertisements

6. Be respectful of other people when posting on the message board.

7. Do not post large amounts of material/articles whatsoever. If you want people to read an article, post the hyperlink so people can still access it.

8. Do not post long posts. What constitutes as "long" is up to the moderator. There is a purpose for this, and that is not mess up threads. E.g., Jose Gallegos Church Quotes that takes up a lot of bandwidth.

9. Do not impersonate another member of the message board.

10. Only click the submit button once. Don't to post duplicate messages (One won't really be banned for this)

Individuals who violate these rules after being warned will be banned from the forum.

New Rules as of July 27th, 2004.

11. Do not insert pictures in your posts - This is stealing people's bandwidth, unless it comes from your own server/web page, and slows down the forum. If you wish to insert a picture, ask the moderator.

12. Do not plagiarize - that means don't quote material and claim it is yours if it isn't. In case this comes up in any future dispute, you claim it is your own once you post it.

13. Do not taunt the Moderator publicly. If you have a question about something (e.g. deletions, bans) email him/her in private.

People may be un-banned if they promise to abide by the board rules.

For Catholics:

You are free to post here, except for those deemed useless.

Added to the ban list is Luke (Luke@private.please) for breaking rules #1, 2, & 6. There are suspicions that he is also impersonating other members of the board.

...Apparently, if I do delete these kind of messages coming from a Catholic I am a horrible mean person. But if I leave them on when a non-catholic does the same to a catholic, I am still a horrible mean person. What do I do? If I am going to be labled either way, I will be labeled for doing in what I believe.

rod,

You cannot possibly say I have been unfair. I am more tolerant than most moderators on others boards.

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), July 28, 2004.

Uh, I'm just an "emotional" "cheerleader", remember(?), David.

Do you want me to remind you of what you have written? You have over 2,000 posts I can grab examples from.

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), July 28, 2004.

If you wish to take your time to mill over my 2000 plus posts, feel free to do so. It is your forum. What will you prove of me? ....that I am emotional: compassionate, passionate, and curious? Big deal. Funny that I should be criticized for having such a character.

rod,

Perhaps you haven't read the rules. Please read them again. I hope you don't give the next moderator this much trouble

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), July 28, 2004.

Need not worry, David. My time here is dwindling. I'm just wrapping up a few loose ends so as not to go down in flames or dishonor.

-- rod (elreyrod@yahoo.com), July 28, 2004.

Anyway, there was one reason for me being in this forum in the first place. Gail can probably enlighten you (if she wishes). My mission here hasn't exactly been a 100%, but I'll take that small percentage as a step in the right direction.

....................

-- rod (elreyrod@yahoo.com), July 28, 2004.

Very well rod, that is your choice.

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), July 28, 2004.

Of course it is.

Christianity shouldn't be so brutal, but the reality of it all proves that it is. Everyone fights for their truth. Eventually, there comes the time when it isn't the fighting that matters anymore. It's ok for him to believe this or that and us to believe that or this. We aren't the ultimate judge. The truth will be revealed on our final day.

................

-- rod (elreyrod@yahoo.com), July 28, 2004.

Those are some of my older posts. Just like when Scriptures are taken out of context, so are those two previous posts. David are you posting them or is someone else trying to prove some point?

BTW, there is truth in what I post. I also find it interesting that you never answered those posts--negative or positive.

....................

-- rod (elreyrod@yahoo.com), July 28, 2004.

rod,

I do not know what you are talking about.

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), July 28, 2004.

"...Can we censor Mr. Moderator?" That post was in my attempts to support Kevin with his fairness to post. Kevin was getting an unfair deal. Of course, when taken out of context, my quotations are posted unfairly, again.

.................

-- rod (elreyrod@yahoo.com), July 28, 2004.

Sorry, you lost me.

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), July 28, 2004.

David, Somebody is posting some of my old posts and using my username. Can you tell from the IP address?

......................

-- rod (elreyrod@yahoo.com), July 28, 2004.

No, I can't.

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), July 28, 2004.

David, if it is really you, answer this question:

Who is the famous coach from your home town?

.......................

-- rod (elreyrod@yahoo.com), July 28, 2004.

Tom Laundry.

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), July 28, 2004.

Then, can you tell that it isn't me posting or not?

Are you restoring the thread or what?

.......................

-- rod (elreyrod@yahoo.com), July 28, 2004.

I'm not restoring anything. The IP address from Luke (banned one) matches it, and the current anti-bush posts, along with yours.

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), July 28, 2004.

I'm too easy a target and that gets me out of character. If I post again, I'll send you an email before I post with proof that it is me.

...............

-- rod (elreyrod@yahoo.com), July 28, 2004.

rod,

I am going to email you and you have to answer the question I ask you so I can settle this.

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), July 28, 2004.

Give me time to get my PC going. Yahoo and this computer don't work together.
