Today, I tracked over one hundred attempts of abuse on ANN. I've been working on the filters and editing mechanisms for over four hours. Maintaining ANN is turning into real work, and all I see are tasks that I despise. This one individual, and the general attitude on ANN lately, is alienating visitors and making this site a horrible place to be. Most of what I see is insults and blind advocacy... I'm tired... And I can just see the negative comments again, in reply to me posting this...

| MOTD 02/01/2002 : Comment 143 of 174 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Amigo on 04-Jan-2002 09:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 140 (Dave):
>>>Dont assume everyone who speaks English is Christian, that is bigotry in the extreme.
if he actually did imply that its not really bigotry but ignorance.
>>>Because I found your laughable comments about non believers not being able to understand I printed out your words ( comments and claptrap ) and sought some other opinions, being careful not to state my opinion of the material first.
dont you ever have ideas which you think some others won't understand? I dont think he means understand what is written technically, but understand where he is coming from. Sometimes we as people assume too much and fill in the blanks of what we don't get with recessive and defensive ideas and make it what we want it to be.
>>>My partner, who is Jewish of which your religion is just a minor schism also thinks you are a patronising twerp aswell and that anyone with a reading age of over 12 could understand it.
Maybe thats what he genuinely thought, or maybe his brain went into defense mode because he's Jewish. No matter how subtly and politely you put things to someone if they don't like what they hear to them it seems as if YOUR YELLING RIGHT IN THEIR FACE.
>>>I also ran it past two people at work who are devout Christians who said that your comments made them feel uncomfortable and smacked of dangerous fanaticism. To quote: "That is the wrong way of going about spreading the message of Jesus, it just puts people off and sounds very much like the kind of non inclusive claptrap that Jesus preached against". By devout I mean they kneel down and work and pray to their lord, lead prayer meetings et al.
That's true. I also think William should be more subtle if he's going to bring it up, anyway I don't really see the need to bring up religion or politics or any kinds of social topics when it has nothing to really do with the topic at hand. But i will say this, people are more likely to badmouth a Christian than any other person of another faith, there are some people out there that, man, they freak me out. Scientology anyone?
>>>So, its not just athiests, eh? Sure its a small sample but hey dont let facts get in the way of rabid spittle. I recommend a nice dose of "The Life Of Brian" to bring you back onto the same planet to return you to being a "good neighbour".
Damn he's not being THAT bad and at least he's not the arrogant, pompous git I dealt with in another news post. Now there's someone with a rock for a head. |
