You can use that smiley for many other various uses other than to mock or ridicule another member.

Ok, I consider myself highly skilled, in fact, an expert, in avoiding infractions. It took me a while but I figured it out. Since I figured out the name-calling/infraction game, I've only received the infractions I wanted. Here recently, I basically begged for one because I wanted to know if there was a change in the AFF climate (and learned there was). So, if I say, "You're an idiot", I'm going to get an infraction....well, unless I said it to Coadie. However, if I say, "Be careful, you're starting to sound like an idiot", I'm squeaky clean.

But I see here it's possible that I can actually add to my name-calling/insult arsenal. For example, if I say, "The Forum's obsession this week with taking away my ability to comment about the validity of baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is theologically irresponsible", I'm going to get an infraction.

BUT.....if I say, "I think the Forum's obsession this week with taking away my ability to comment about the validity of baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is theologically irresponsible", I'm off the hook?

I LOVE IT!! This could open up a while new world to me!

Hey it could be - depending on how small your world really is...

Your baptismal question is not off limits BTW, just needs to happen in the proper designated area. If I remember it was asked that you have that discussion in the debate area. So enjoy!

While I would agree with most of what you've learned. I should probably warn you that we do have a 'general forum disruption' clause that you could fall under if we see a lot of disrespect, mockery and ridicule.

Quoted from the Forum Rules:

Because our goal is for AFF to be a place where Liberal, Moderate, and Conservatives can peacefully co-exist, Admin reserves the right to ban any member at any time should they agree that any member's posting style, general attitude, or overall presence is causing a disruption on the forum as a whole.

So you're not totally off the hook with that style of posting.

But of course, because I am so well loved by all the Admin, and well respected, and also because my posting style is almost always loving and kind, I haven't been disruptive! And I never mock. I'll disagree passionately but I hate mocking.

But hey, someone told me today, privately, that he's praying for me to be thrown off the forum. I feel pretty special!

Why are you telling everyone I said that?? You have no decency do you, my friend? Just remember, the truth can set you free!

This thread has brought me to tears...

We have funny people on AFF.


NOW, you are a HOOT. If I could find an owl or a Hooter's girl as the emoticon, I'd have used it!

You know, I literally have a WORLD of responsibility sitting on my shoulders today. It's probably fair to say I have more riding on the next few phone calls and emails than any other call or email of my life. So this is serving as a great distraction as I set here and wait.

But I think OldPathsII just said something he really didn't wanna say.

Just raise your hands and hold on - or is that let go?

This happy meal remark is why I stand by what I said to you privately. Of all those on this forum that disrespet the precious truth of the new birth, your the worst. I have no problem admitting that I hope your silenced.

Forum leadership, if my words are disrespectful please let me know. I don't want to cross the line.
