Christian Boylove Forum

To AI Watcher, Bach, and everyone else

I just read AI Watcher's latest flame, and I have a few things to say. This is not a flame, only some comments, observations, and a question or two.

From AI's 1st post of flamebait, he has been treated with courtesy and respect by everyone here. Yet at every turn, he has replied with hate, more flames, and as many swear words as he can work into his post. Every attempt to reasonably answer his flames, disguised as questions, has been intentionally misread by him to further his hateful cause. Forgiven refered to all pedophiles as outcasts (which we are). AI has continually demanded that Forgiven called only BCers outcasts. Bach said "love the sinner, hate the sin." AI complained that Bach called him a sinner. I called EVERYONE a sinner, including myself. AI flamed me because he claimed I said Christians were better than everyone else. He complains about judgement and insult, yet I see all the judgements and insults coming from him. In his last post, he accuses Forgiven of not respecting other people or their beliefs, which is exactly what AI is guilty of. AI comes to a Christian board and demands that we stop talking about Christianity or it's beliefs? He has gone so far as to invite Forgiven to BC so they can "go round and round" and so AI could "have a good time." If this was the r/w, AI would be asking him to step outside so they could duke it out.

Well I, for one, have had enough. Most of the name calling and insults were not directed at me, but I am really beginning to wonder why anyone is allowed to use this board for nothing more than to spew hatred and insults against every other poster here. AI has a right to ask questions, post disagreements, even vent his frustrations, to a point. I admit that I have also become frustrated to the point of doing a bit of flaming. But no one has the right to continuously verbally attack any one person or group of people. I don't come here to find out how many swearing epithets can be crammed into a single post. If what AI has been continually doing these past few days is not spamming by a troll, then I just don't understand the term and need it explained to me.

But as always, this is all just my opinion and how I look at it. I need to know if I am off base here. So I'm asking Bach his opinion and why he feels AI's hatemongering is beneficial enough to leave on the board? And I'd like others to post a reply and tell me your opinion. Do you feel I'm trying to censor free speech? Or do you also think this has gone way over the line? And I even ask for AI's comments, preferably with a minimum of swearing and insults.
