Judging from your posts, I seriously doubt you proofread anything.

Again, this is the first time I've "censored" something since, ever?

You'll get over it, I promise.
Ah I remember one censoring, but I don't think it was quite a censoring. Gnome did something funny and got stripped of his powers. Actually, he did something similar to what you did in the Religion vs Science thread.
Except, his made people laugh.

I don't believe it, the admin is returning personal attacks.
I'm retorting. Eq did not spend 30 minutes proofreading, and that is quite obvious. The post violated the Trash Talk Rules, so you should read the rules. This is a game making community, not a place to start religious flamewars.

Like I said- I stand by my decision to censor that thread. I'm letting you equate me to Hitler, but I'm also entitled to respond to the criticism.

Hmmm. Nothing particularly rude. Didn't see any name calling or insults so...

Oh crap.

Yeah, we know he didn't spend 30. Probably just 3 to make sure everything was typed to get his point across. I do the same, no need to make every post look like a letter for AP Lit.

I'm fairly sure you're standing by your decision cause you can't reverse it.

I don't remember who it was specifically, but someone voiced that they were hurt by one member's comments. Rude? CHECK

The post was titled Science vs Religion, which by itself is inflammatory and not tasteful. Not tasteful? CHECK

I'm standing by my decision because I think it wasn't appropriate for these forums. I wouldn't restore it if I could.

If we're not allowed to talk about religion then state that clearly in the rules. What is and isn't "tasteful" is way too subjective.

You're allowed to talk about religion, but you're not allowed to make comments like:

There is no scientific basis for religion, but the intended audience of my comment isn't smart enough to understand that.

That was me. I was being sarcastic.
X: ...preprogrammed responses...
Me: Oh ouch, that stings.

Then I suppose a simple title change would suffice.

It's just kind of awkward and annoying when you show up and suddenly start moderating after being inactive for a while. If you spent more time on the forums then you would have recognized Gan's sarcasm... I mean we have these religious discussions periodically, they're kind of fun and no one really gets hurt.

Whoa? You mean it?

Cause I have backups of most of the religion topic!
Eq, you have no need to worry. I have saved your 30 min of hard work.

Hm.

I never actually got a chance to read anyones responses because Tim censored it while I was sleeping (crafty of you Tim! :P). But that comment was definitely not directed at you Gan. I remember having (or just reading? it was a long time ago) a lengthy discussion with you in which you actually provided some well thought out arguments - definitely not preprogrammed responses.

I agree that a title change would have sufficed. I strongly disagreed with the title of the thread, but the content was fine.

Also Gan your new look reminds me of Ignus from Planescape:torment - http://www.gamebanshee.com/planescapetorment/companions/ignus.php
