I apologize for the mistaken locking [View all]

A mistake was made with the Satan thread. One of the hosts had an issue with it and wanted it locked. He mistook responses from Longship and myself and locked the thread. This was a mistake. Pinto has retired.

The reason for the hosting arrangement is to keep Religion® open and prevent this type of action from either board members or the admins. It has worked well up to this point. This is the first time a thread was locked without proper agreement.

I'm going to lock up the other threads. Feel free to take up issues here. Also, we need nominations for a host from the believer category.

I think it is time for the no host discussion again. Goblinmonger Dec 2014 #15

I agree. This is not the first time this discussion has been warranted Heddi Dec 2014 #16

Just keep Renew Deal. No other hosts. cleanhippie Dec 2014 #17

No new hosts. Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #18

Also agreed. trotsky Dec 2014 #19

It would save this type of problem. EvilAL Dec 2014 #20

In disgrace? Really? Are you kidding? NYC_SKP Dec 2014 #21

Yes, in disgrace. trotsky Dec 2014 #22

In disgrace or in cluelessness. Take your pick. Goblinmonger Dec 2014 #24

"I apologize for the mistaken locking" Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #28

The difference between disgrace and simply retiring from the drama is not a subtle one. NYC_SKP Dec 2014 #72

Ah it is only disgrace if the person "feels disgraced". Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #115

The disgrace here does not lie with pinto. rug Dec 2014 #75

Hmm Goblinmonger Dec 2014 #78

Wrong is not disgrace. rug Dec 2014 #80

Indeed it does not. okasha Dec 2014 #103

Just Renew Deal would be my vote nt Rob H. Dec 2014 #23

Somebody want to clarify this inconsistency, please. Goblinmonger Dec 2014 #25

It looks like you figured it out Renew Deal Dec 2014 #30

Keeping five hosts is my vote i think it works. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #26

I am pretty much in the dark about this, but glad the hosts worked it out. cbayer Dec 2014 #27

Really? "Pretty much in the dark about this"? Goblinmonger Dec 2014 #36

She had many of those people on ignore. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #40

Doesn't mean it isn't clear why pinto did what he did. Goblinmonger Dec 2014 #45

She might not have been on. i don't know. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #46

She apologized for something she knew nothing about? Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #91

Yes, really, goblin monger. But thanks for the run down. cbayer Dec 2014 #50

OMG, you WERE the ugly in that thread. PassingFair Dec 2014 #140

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for the believer host position. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #29

If we don't go the no/one host route, I vote for you. Goblinmonger Dec 2014 #32

As a candidate, my platform is a simple promise; to do as little as humanly possible. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #33

That is a host platform I support. Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #95

I can't support you but I had no idea you were ordained. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #34

Indeed. I officiated a wedding 2 weeks ago. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #35

What kind of minister? hrmjustin Dec 2014 #37

The ordained kind. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #38

Which sect or interfaith? hrmjustin Dec 2014 #39

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #43

0h! hrmjustin Dec 2014 #44

Indeed. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the kitchenette indulging in prayer, as soon as the microwave AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #47

Enjoy! hrmjustin Dec 2014 #48

heheh can't support? EvilAL Dec 2014 #52

It means i can't support the poster for host. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #53

So then nobody can support AtheistCrusader? nt EvilAL Dec 2014 #55

Where did I say you can't? hrmjustin Dec 2014 #56

You didn't, you said it has to be a believer or EvilAL Dec 2014 #57

You do whatever you feel you need to do. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #58

What? EvilAL Dec 2014 #59

I would be willing to support an atheist for the believer category. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #60

Then why "can't" you support a different one? EvilAL Dec 2014 #61

You mean another atheist? hrmjustin Dec 2014 #62

Nevermind man. Have a good day. nt EvilAL Dec 2014 #63

Sorry but your posts were not clear. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #64

This message was self-deleted by its author EvilAL Dec 2014 #66

And if you read my posts upthread you would have seen I nominated a candidate already. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #65

Well then that would explain the CAN'T. EvilAL Dec 2014 #67

I am not going to. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #68

You do whatever you feel you need to do. EvilAL Dec 2014 #69

I will. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #70

Vote for me! As we've discussed AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #73

You are not sympathetic to believers so I don't feel you are a good fit for the believer host hrmjustin Dec 2014 #74

Unfair and untrue. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #76

It maybe a bit unfair but would you want me to take the unbelievers host spot? hrmjustin Dec 2014 #77

I would not object on those grounds. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #79

If a non-believer post opens up ever I would seriously consider you. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #81

You've taken the words right out of my mouth! rug Dec 2014 #82

That is acceptable to me. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #83

We'll run as a ticket. rug Dec 2014 #84

He's far more likeable than I am. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #85

hahahah EvilAL Dec 2014 #131

He will "do as little as humanly possible" so his sympathies are irrelevant. Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #142

I'm sure he'll have many supporters, okasha Dec 2014 #104

Cool. EvilAL Dec 2014 #132

Morning all - pinto Dec 2014 #41

Your a great poster pinto! hrmjustin Dec 2014 #42

Having worked with you for many, many years, I know that you are a man of integrity. cbayer Dec 2014 #51

I am, thanks. And I'll be around. Made a hasty, mistaken call. pinto Dec 2014 #124

We have all done it, pinto. It is the better person that can stand up cbayer Dec 2014 #138

So what exactly caused you to act as you did? Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #93

I will answer your questions and their implications as best I can, then let's leave this be, OK? pinto Dec 2014 #122

Vote for Just Renew Deal as sole host LostOne4Ever Dec 2014 #49

This message was self-deleted by its author Sweeney Dec 2014 #86

That hide was sent to a jury, and had nothing to do with the hosts. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #87

This message was self-deleted by its author Sweeney Dec 2014 #89

Unnecessary. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #90

I see you are becoming intimately familiar with the Jury system at this point. AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #105

I feel he is quickly on his way to learning about the 90 day time-out for 5 hides Heddi Dec 2014 #106

anyone making a claim that native americans are savages is a bigot. nt. Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #92

This message was self-deleted by its author Sweeney Dec 2014 #96

I wish to examine AtheistCrusader Dec 2014 #98

here are the definitions I can find. None of them flattering Heddi Dec 2014 #101

You aren't supplying the "scientific" definitions. Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #108

I picture him in some basement archive Heddi Dec 2014 #110

I don't think you have any qualifications for being host Heddi Dec 2014 #94

Post removed Post removed Dec 2014 #99

I think you're a disgusting person Heddi Dec 2014 #102

How the flying fuck is a poster who writes: Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #107

Hell if I know Heddi Dec 2014 #109

Here's another interesting question: where are all of our regular theists? Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #111

DUH! Because he's tanning hides by hand. Heddi Dec 2014 #112

The guy was a moron Dorian Gray Dec 2014 #128

Yes it does, and good for you. Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #130

none of the theists here have any opinion on this nomination for a host? Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #114

Texas Towlie got a few votes. Heddi Dec 2014 #120

Were the hosts all tempted by the devil? LeftishBrit Dec 2014 #97

He probably just bought their souls Sweeney Dec 2014 #100

I think the point has been reached where a poll should be put up for voting Heddi Dec 2014 #113

What about Sweeney? He was nominated. Warren Stupidity Dec 2014 #116

True. He believes "indians" are "dumb-asses" and 'savages" Heddi Dec 2014 #117

I agree, his lack of DU exppexperience shouldn't be held against him, mr blur Dec 2014 #118

Oh Mr Blur Heddi Dec 2014 #119

After reading the general theme of this thread… NeoGreen Dec 2014 #133

Thanks... NeoGreen Dec 2014 #135

I think all the members you mentioned will find it just as funny. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #136

rofl Heddi Dec 2014 #141

Awesome. Goblinmonger Dec 2014 #143

I just got this unsolicited PM from "Sweeney". I have never contacted him Heddi Dec 2014 #121

Alert to the admins. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #123

I did Heddi Dec 2014 #125

What a tool Dorian Gray Dec 2014 #127

I'm for no hosts or Renew Deal only. Hassin Bin Sober Dec 2014 #126

I don't think it matters if we have hosts or not Dorian Gray Dec 2014 #129

Just a reminder that I nominate TexasTowlie for the believer position with permission. hrmjustin Dec 2014 #139
