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 150 of 174ANN.lu
Posted by William F. Maddock on 04-Jan-2002 13:25 GMT
In reply to Comment 135 (Smithy):
The name "Christians" was first used to identify the followers of Christ by the citizens of Corinth, in the first century AD. While it is true that December 25th used to be a pagan festival, the early Christians (pre-Constantine) didn't celebrate the *birth* of Christ at all, but his resurrection. I cannot and will not argue with Constantine polluting the Christian religion with concepts and rituals akin to Roman mythology (paganism) because it is true. He did. But Chrisitanity itself did exist before that---named as Christianity---and was resurrected, beginning with the Protestant Reformation. Getting back to Christmas, though, Christmas season of 2000 found me sitting in a friend's Lutheran church awaiting their Christmas program, and while I was waiting I decided to while away the time looking through the pew Bibles (NIV). I found a very interesting passage, the last paragraph of Jeremiah. I won't recount it here. If you're interested, you can look it up. ;)
