Thank you! I fully realize that I could've easily just gone to a different forum, but I'm pleased nonetheless. Now, we've banned "gay" "retarded" etc., can we also ban the use of the interjection "Jesus Christ"? I mean, we are quick to defend the sensitivities of various groups such as homosexual and the mentally ill and all racial groups, and rightly so. Somehow, however, it still remains OK to be offensive to Christians. I believe that the insulting of any other religion would be banned, so let's make sure this gets done too.

i agree completely about making fun of any religion, im just not sure i agree that saying "jesus christ" falls into that category. its really only against the rules if you are a christian, and it carries no negative connotation toward the christian religion that im aware of.

For what it's worth you'll never see or find a racist post by me, nor do I condone it. But, calling my idea out as such and suggesting I do is a douche move.

[Dave I]

Also, the business excuse is cop out. This forum and site are crap without the people. Which is exactly who you alienate with this type of moderation.

Again, not speaking of racial slurs.

OK, this will be my last reply on this topic since I have no desire to make this into a bigger deal. I don't offend that easily. And although I certainly don't speak for him (even though I am a pastor), I'm sure that Jesus isn't all too concerned with the use of his name as a semi-cuss word. But dude, it's plain naive and silly to say that using the phrase "Jesus Christ" as a cuss word doesn't carry a negative connotation. We only consider him Lord of all and King of Kings. I guess that might be worthy of some respect, I guess [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Luckily it's a religion based on love, mercy, grace and compassion (regardless of what the Fundamentalists try to make of it) so that we're not out killing each other and car bombing the building where the 2p2 servers are kept. Imagine if 2p2 actually had someone post a cartoon of Mohammed. Anyway, do what you want, I still like you all.

I don't see what the big deal is, since accepting advertising money from online poker sites is supposed to be illegal anyway.

i didn't "call your idea out." you didn't express an idea in your post, at least not that i noticed. nor did i suggest that you did. my entire post is quoted above, i don't see anything close to "poster x has made racist posts." do you?

so if you're not talking about racial slurs, it's ok to have homophobic slurs?
