Re: t2w being trashed by religious threads I should make it clear that I did not close the thread because of any breach of the guidelines by Options.
I closed the thread for two reasons. Firstly, the number of reports received complaining about it. Secondly, that posts were beginning to become intemperate and abusive towards Options and his views which, in my opinion, would have escalated.
Religion is a topic that engenders strong feelings, pretty entrenched views and intolerance on either side. That's not to say it can't be discussed, but you know the old social etiquette saw "If you want to enjoy your meal don't discuss religion or politics at the dinner party"

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MOB FOR THEIR GOOD EFFORT IN GETTING MY THREAD "3 SPIRITUAL QUESTIONS" CLOSED. LOTS OF APPLAUSE TO YOU ALL! closed by Barjon. Barjon, Can I do a poll for members to have their say to re-open thread? (just a suggestion). I did say that the thread had the potential to be one of the biggest at t2w. I still believe it has that potential!! but the real people and NOT the MOB trying to sell their services to clients are the real losers now. Remember I did put thread in foyer area. Broke no rules. Have always been polite. And am not imposing ANYTHING I say on others. If they wish to view. Then fine. What about freedom of speech Jon. Can't people make their own minds up? Yes this is a trading site (?). But also the best place for my words. However uncomfortable they may be.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr Charts thread stater of " t2w being trashed by religious threads"
I'm beginning to feel this site is being trashed by religious zealots instead of the usual spam 'n scam trashers. I've got no objection whatsoever to threads about religion, but this is going to extremes. Isn't it supposed to be a trading site leavened with a bit of general chat, rather than a home for the religious extremists? It is doing t2w no good at all when new people come along and see the site is being swamped with pseudo-religious claptrap. Richard

Hi Guys.
Yes I am a religious NUT and I spout a lot of religious claptrap (To use Mr Charts words) in MY THREADS.
My threads are in the FOYER and its acceptable HERE to have RELIGIOUS threads. You all have made your opinion that RELIGION is NOT to your liking and that you are all ANTI religious discussion.
So please stay away from the foyer area and stay in the trading areas where you are most comfortable.
Your posts are NOT welcome on my threads!
Please follow the decision made by ATILLA to unsubscribe from my threads. Those that want to hear and discuss RELIGIOUS matters are welcome. Those that don't want to hear or discuss RELIGIOUS matters i ask you POLITELY NOT TO POST.
Those that have a MOB attitude/mentality and ENJOY the thrill of power to close down threads PLEASE do yourself and us religious nutters a favour and keep away so we can get on with our discussions in peace!
Its easy done by pressing the ignore button. If you don't know how its done Ask Atilla or a staff member.
Thanks for staying away.
