"Abuse" here means "Abuse of the site", meaning multiple reposts, and in this respect I'm asking you directly to stop abusing the forums.
That isn't even something you *need* to ask me, as though the concept is something I am resistant to. I assure you, I did not enjoy single repost.

Abuse, in the form of "abusive messages" is a separate thing ...
Look, most of the really active regulars here go out of their way to express contempt for Christianity and for Christians. And that's ok, I'm not complaining; Christianity can take it. And I can take it, so long as I'm allowed to demolish the so-called arguments. However, because I am trying to get at the illogic and/or absurdity of so many of the claims and/or arguments put forward on the anti-Christianity side of the ledger, I am apparently "abusive," as per community consensus. It isn't true in fact, and I do not appreciate it. Now, if 'atheism' and/or 'atheistic' assertions have a privileged or protected status here at CP, I can live with that. As I told you, I came to CP for the programming, not for the Soapbox. However, it would have been nice to know about that special status beforehand.
'Dhimmitude' is a state of mind.
There is no special status. This is a programming site. The bottom line is: Have your discussions, do not expect careful, rigourous logic, and if the community decides that your approach is unacceptable then learn to understand what the problem is and work with the community to learn how to interact in a way that is acceptable to all. But if you have an axe to grind take it elsewhere.

Certainly, there are "trolls." But in my experience, the the persons quickest to accuse others of being a "troll" are often a closer fit to the accepted meaning of the term than the accused is.

In my experience, the troll is the person who consistently posts outrageous and controversial material for the sole purpose of inciting flame. Are you a troll? I haven't visited here enough to tell. But I know a few who consistently troll around here. On most forums they'd be banned in an instant.

He's taking you for a ride Chris. If you trace back through the threads, you'll find he was given ample opportunity to expound his arguments and he declined to take them. People, myself included, attempted to dispute points with him (despite his sillyness), but it was to no avail. When everyone began to ignore him (and rightly so) that's when he started bombing the forums. Despite his claims and protestations, he was treated no differently than anyone else. The difference was in him refusing to cease his obnoxious behaviour and his blatant disrespect for ALL PATRONS of this forum. On numerous occasions did several others and I ask him to stop yet he continued. I suggest you continue to monitor this forum for the next few days as I don't believe he is being genuine.

The soapbox is for posts that aren't appropriate elsewhere. It is not a place to start flame wars, troll, push agendas or abuse the community. It's a forum like any other forum with the same rules of responsibility and civility. This is pathetic and honestly, I'm ready to just close it up.

Why is that known, you dont have that on your profile.
That would be a question to address to Mr Craig, now wouldn't it? But, it's not exactly as though I've made a secret of my identity. After all, being no one in particular, I can't really imagine that a total stranger in who-knows-where would have a pressing desire to know my name or city. I assure you, I'm not trying to find out where Mr Craig lives, or if he even is 'Tim Craig.' But, since he seems so interested in me, let's see if he can pin-point my location on a map.

Craig likes to use his computers to get your personal information and and get inside your computer. He is what you call a scum bag.

It was not quickest. Don't you tell us. You've been given enough of time. 'Nuf said. Take your dhimmitude mind, pack your bags. Time for you to leave.

And if they are all united in their opinion that the Moon is made of green cheese, is the Moon made of green cheese?

What you probably should do is find out who this guy's ISP is and report him for abuse, and then block the ISP's IP subnet from being allowed to post on CP.
OR, go after the folks who are vanishing my posts because they don't like the content.

You know who got killed by saying the world is round when everyone belived the world is flat. Either you fit into the community (good or bad) or the community does not fit you. If soapbox community does not fit you, move on, learn C/C++ and join the C++ Community. There is a seperate forum for c++ community you konw.:rolleyes:
