Are you tired?

You may have meant it as a funny suggestion but on a forum where I was an admin we had just such a thing.
It was simply called the politics and religion forum and was a sub forum of our corner bar, it required you to choose to view it and you could opt out at any time.
It worked very well and meant that, if you didn't want it, you didn't have to see the religion threads pop up all the time on the new posts page. -

I meant this thread popping into existence (or created)
Oh, I have split those posts off another topic as they had no relevance to it.

That was a tough choice. I tried to spoil my ballot, but in the end...

Hi,
I voted YES. I'm not ignorant but I think the religious and political discussions should not take place in this forum. There are masses of Internet forums and blogs dealing with these issues. There you can discuss it as much as you like and you can find thousands of opinions and opposing opinions and endless discussions.
I think it's wonderful to share ideas together regardless of religious affiliation and political beliefs. This is the special in this forum.
I would suspect that the majority of the Sketchucation members attended the forum to learn about 3D technologies. I have chosen the SketchUcation forum to exchange ideas and experiences about SketchUp and related topics.
If I want to discuss something else, or seeking information on a particular topic, then I visit the appropriate forums or blogs.

Fair enough, so what should we discuss in the corner bar?
We have funny pictures, occasional joke, every now and again a Mac vs PC debate a good one on fine design.
So eliminating religion and politics (notice that political debates flame up more than religious ones) should make for a better corner bar right?

We could always discuss the weather...

Ban Pete!
This is my vote
No jokes now. Let's stop this habit. It became a habit. Not good for health. It's so boring.
Do you know how bad things became in greece these days?
I really don't want to talk about these.
I prefer to talk about our hobby, the love of 3d. (It's a hobby, not a profession after all, the good part of it)
Call it art if you like. Art against reality, I can live with it. -

This is my voteI agree, that bastard touches nerves with his anti-God rhetoric.

I answered the second Yes I am tired, but I didn't read the rest. I was just tired.
"Art against reality" THAT might be a good topic.
-
Very disappointed to see that the Yes I vote for as only 11 votes at this time, I think it's the better Yes the other is just a little yes.
-
I think it's Schrödinger's yes.

I see, agreed except this "bastard". A "man of faith" is more precise in your case.
BTW, It's the first time you reply on my comments since an argument on rock modeling if I recall it correctly.

This completely fair and balanced vote was bought to you by PM Putin's very best electoral experts...

This is fun.My point was not to ban them or condemn them, just put the topic on the shelf for a while rather than have multiple topics going in the same direction.
So, those solar flares created some light show in Norway huah?

Or how about that Tim Thomas?

If souls and spirits of the Sketchucation members are limited by “3D technologies”, the ‘picture’ becomes desolate...!

Do you mean we should add a Cornel Bar subforum, too, that people can sign up like for the foreign language forums?
On a forum that I moderate, we did ended up with this solution back in the days of Bush (W) after his first term...it got pretty heated and there were so many flame wars that it became a huge issue with a large portion getting upset because of the "censorship" and "freedom of speach" was being infringed upon...we created a more mature (or immature) forum called Hot Topics that housed all the topics that became flame wars. It was by request only...and those that entered agreed that they would not get offended and whine to the moderators if they red something that didn't agree with their beliefs. It has been so successful that no one posts there or on the main site any political or religious items anymore.

Meh!
Probably a good thing just to quit religious topics as it seems that some religious folk cannot debate their faith and end up whining to administration in pm's when they get offended.
I pulled most of my comments from that long debate that got nowhere except a zillion bible quotes posted by Cornel, I also deleted my poll as it apparently also offended some folk that might have noticed the majority votes was not in their favor.

I'm usually pretty easy going about things, but in this case, I've had enough and time to say my peace. I could care less if this post gets me banned. If this is the kind of respect that exists around here, FROM A MODERATOR, no less, then I'll be leaving anyway.
Actually, you, personally, do offend me Solo. You're constant need to vilify and belittle believers is boorish and unnecessary. If there is anyone in this forum who has a hard time with religion or faith as a topic, it's you. Your rhetoric is tiresome, and I consider you just another petty whiner who thinks that their point of view is the only one that counts. Your "statement" about Darwinism in your avatar is immature, offensive and uncalled for. It is only there evidently to continue to offend others who don't share your point of view ...
BTW, the problem with offending people in a forum is that you never know who might be looking to hire you.
