[Cerek the Barbaric]

Well, our last thread certainly took a strange turn at the end.

Ziroc - Thanks for stepping in and terminating the problem. This type of thread is "dicey" enough without having a Dark Troll lurking about.

Sir Michael - You want me to "lighten up" on Alexander? I'm sure you know by now that I did. I read his Post very late last night and mistakenly confused him with Dramnek (who had made several offensive remarks about Christians in general - more on that in a moment). As soon as I realized my error, I admitted my mistake and apologized publicly. However, the specific Post I referred to DOES violate the TOS. I've seen several members warned for making similar statements about religious beliefs. A thread such as this requires ALL participants to walk a very fine line.

Dramnek - Several of your Posts HAVE contained offensive generalizations of Christianity. I was going to Cut-n-Paste some of them here as evidence, but then I would be the one doing the "flame-baiting". I trust you know which posts I mean, so there is no reason to reprint them here. You do have every right to voice your beliefs and opinions here, but you are also required to be respectful in those Posts. To your credit, the generalizations (and overall offensiveness) have become much LESS frequent as you Posted more often.

Yorick - I can always count on you to offer some intelligent and insightful comments regarding Christianity. But, if I could offer some constructive criticism (I know - I hate that concept too, sorry), you do tend to get "baited" pretty easily. I respect your passion and beliefs, but sometimes you come on a bit too strong in your Replies. It's not fair for me to ask Dramnek to tone down without making the same suggestion to you.

No offense is meant to either of you and I hope none is taken.

Alexander - I haven't seen a Reply from you regarding my apology in the previous thread. So in case you didn't see, I will apologize again for my comments. I didn't get my facts straight before making my remarks. I'll be more careful from now on.

That should get me caught up on most of the comments I wanted to make in the other thread.

So let's start on yet another "fresh page".
