The quickest way to get known on the internet is do something asinine around a 4Chan-er.
Incidently, I wonder if Darck has his own ED article?
Meh. At any rate, the only way to get known on RR is to go there & "troll." I don't think they even read the names of the quotes they rip from us.

Troll being disagree with them on anything of course.
Hey, RR, starting a thread is not trolling. Derailing other threads, that's trolling. Turning members against each other, that's trolling. Image bombing, that's trolling. Hell, even bumping dead threads can be considered trolling. Starting a civil discussion, not trolling.
Then again, it's not a surprise with their rules, because it's actually against the rules to argue any position their moderators don't like. Whereas here, we welcome it. We don't have special forums to quarantine the believers. We don't have rules against arguing for your religion or political stance or even your favorite color.
You complain about our "faith" being weak, there is nothing showing greater strength in a position than to seek out arguments against it. Guess what RR? You haven't told me anything I hadn't heard a thousand times before.

1: Is it weird that all of the trolling examples seem like very RR-ish tactics? 2: Why do I get the feeling that if we DID have rules similar but opposite to what RR has, we'd get similar remarks about how uncomfortable it is to post here, and how annoying we are for constantly trying to convert people?

You, sir, are on your way to RR rock stardom. Banned I was.......amd all my posts removed. "You have been banned for the following reason: Posting unwanted spam Date the ban will be lifted: Never" Funny that I was not banned earlier today and have not posted since yesterday. I bet someone is not happy about be posting Vene's deleted thread. Well to that person a hardy, to fucking bad. SPAM? The best they could come up with to ban you was spam??? I'm glad you save what you could of your discussion there.

I can see the Fundie Logic (c) here. It's just like that whole "xtian nation w/xtian morals" thing. They want to be the thought police, basically. They didn't want Vene's topic on their forum. The fact that you reposted it on ours means that you released shit about them they didn't want. The "spam" comes in that they most likely labelled Vene's topic as such. So, by following their twisted mental gymnastics, you've posted unwanted spam, & the fact that you did it HERE, not THERE doesn't matter. Woah! Wait a minute! They banned him for something he posted HERE, not THERE???

Woah! Wait a minute! They banned him for something he posted HERE, not THERE??? That is what I suspect. Spam does not make sence.......then again many thing at RR do not make sense. All I know is that last night I just after I posted the Vene thread I was not yet banned. The only thing I did while on RR was to respond to a PM from a regular member regarding responses he made to me and the fact that they had gotten buried by a couple pages of posts. He just wanted to make sure I say them. I just told him that I would make sure I gave them a look when I had a chance, and that I enjoyed talking to him because he was not many of the other RR members. What I said exactly was "If more Christians were like you the world would be a far, far better place." After sending that PM I left and was back here. Next thing I know about an hour later I was banned. So I'm thinking someone saw Vene's thread here, or the MODs read that regular members PM and did not like what I said. ......or it was a preemptive ban.

This was a, um, lovely post by jadeeyes... "To all you lurkers out there, believers and non believers, welcome. Feel free to look around and you don't need to be shy. We welcome you to join us. This is a wonderful place to fellowship and to learn. Now, if your here to join and troll, I warn you, many folks here can spot a troll from their first post." Just a little closer...yesss...goooood non-believers...just let me reach into your eye sockets and take your sooooul... Or am I just being paranoid? I know this reply is several days late, but here goes: christianforums.com is a better place to post for that. One, they have a huge mosh of denominations (they don't just limit the board to Southern Baptist Americans) and allow atheists and other "unwashed" individuals to post. Nathan Poe being one of the most notable. Two, it may be a theist board, but you don't get banned for being opening up a discussion on evolution or criticism of theology. If I'm going anywhere on the internet to discuss theology where the demographics are mostly theist, I'd go there. Nick, from out of their hearts their actions do speak.

Wonder if I'm even on their radar yet. Being a 'raptor sure does limit myself in terms of "salvation" as I am already saved. Ironbite-PRAISE BE TO ME, RAPTOR JESUS! A raptured raptor?

I'm just surprised they were more creative than "FSTDT troll."

I'm wondering how they define SPAM. Looks like they were trying to find a reason to ban you m52nickerson. Geez, never seen people so paranoid of beliefs different from their own.

To quote myself:
Yes, they're paranoid. Yes, they look for excuses to ban you. But once you put on the Fundie Goggles, this pseudo-logic makes a little bit of sense. Sorta.
