shanstress70 Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Sorry Unorthodox, I know this is cheesy, but I'm using your post almost word for word, due to lack of time on my hands...I would like to add a note of my own that requests people not be too sensitive. Sometimes just by the nature of debating religion, things can get heated. Also, when you're typing instead of talking face to face, you don't know the tone that the writer is taking, so you may imagine that it is a bad one when in fact it is not. When in doubt, ask the poster what they mean by a certain statement. It is possible that one can be blowing it out of proportion. :) And PLEASE allow me to use a certain level of sarcasm.... I LOVE it! As a representative of the non-Mormon community on this board, I hereby declare that we non-Mormons will not participate in the bashing of any Mormons. Edit:By "bashing" we mean":- Name calling and demeaning language ("stupid", "idiot", swear words, etc.)- Disrespecting another religion...including using "Anti" materials (against any religion).- Singling out another board member to harass themWe do not mean:- Teasing- Sarcasm- Debating over doctrine or theology1. If we do bash someone, we expect that the offended party will report our post (publically or privately) to the Moderators.2. If we, the non-Mormons, bash the Mormons, we expect the Moderators to censor us, warn us, and eventually ban us if our behavior does not improve.3. If a Mormon bashes us, we promise not to bash back, but instead we will report the offending post (publically or privately) to the Moderators. 4. We expect that Mormon basher will be treated with the same censorship, warnings, and bannings that we are given.5. In making this declaration, we consider this the first step towards non-bashing. In return for this gesture, we expect that if any non-Mormon bashes a Mormon, the Mormon will not bash back, but will "turn the other cheek" and report the post. We promise to do the same, if we are bashed by a Mormon.Please sign this declaration by responding with "agree" or "disagree".Everyone who signs, agrees to the above 5 points.Edit: I'm gonna put all our names right here at the bottom to make them more visible.SIGNED BY:ShanstressUnorthodoxJendaBy the way, if you posted a reply to "sign" this declaration and I wasn't here to add your name to the list, maybe a Moderator could do that for me by editing this post?

Maureen Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 I mutter those bashing comments to myself, so I do not feel the need to put them in print.I agree.SIGNED BY:ShanstressUnorthodoxJendaMaureen Quote
