That some of you think it's ok to thread crap a RIP thread. Really, really immature and your reasoning is about as far fetched as you can get. Sighting rules that don't apply, even threatening to have someone banned!?! Shakes head.......

At the risk of being labeled a “sycophant”, I agree with the OP (of both threads).
So just to be clear, going forward we can only wish condolences for the deceased if they were non-political, agnostic, cisgender, social conforming, un-opinionated folks?
Chalk up another win for those constantly on the hunt for the next reason to be offended.

Here is the answer to your question:
I don't care which way you lean politically, I don't want to read about it here on this audio forum. I also don't care which way you lean in your religious beliefs, I don't want to read about it here on this audio forum. If you can't respect that I will do what I can to get you banned. This is where I come to associate with people that have an interest in audio, NOT POLITICS OR RELIGION!"Conservative Libertarians love the country, progressive leftists love the government." - Andrew Wilkow

Not at all. But there is a difference with "wishing condolences" and writing this:
"His uniting message of God’s love and his ability to minister to presidents on both ends of the political spectrum will be missed.
May he find rest near to the heart of God."
Particularly on a website that states this in the rules: "The discussion of politics and religion is irrelevant to good audio and is, therefore, not allowed on this forum."

How is it that members of this website have information about who reports other members and about which members and why members want to self-ban? I don't see a part of this forum where that information is posted, yet it seems to keep popping up in threads.Here is the answer to your question:

Clever. Do you also say "let there be light" when you flick on a light switch? You know, because that's clever, too.
Oh, and while you are here, perhaps you would like to answer my previous question?

The bottom line is, the thread got closed. A moderator can remove offending comments in a thread if they so choose, but that wasn't the case.

I hardly ever drink and I have not been drinking tonight. I *cough* cited the rules in the other thread. If they didn't apply, then my comment could have been removed. Instead, the thread was closed.
And now this thread was created with this in the original comment: "Sighting (sic) rules that don't apply"
Perhaps any condescending behavior on my part was meant as a parody of the OPs attitude toward scores of new members? -

If you don’t like the subject matter don't read the thread.
I will address this as I believe you are referring to me. I had no problem with the RIP thread. I went to the thread a couple of times and even considered posting as I believe Rev Graham to be a good man. I refrained from posting out of concern for what exactly did happen. A RIP thread is fine and has been done on numerous occasion. So, while I'm viewing the RIP thread, should I be subjected to someones religious or political views? If I wanted that I could go to one of thousands of forums that deals with that subject matter. This being an audio forum I shouldn't be forced to deal with that.
I never mentioned my religious or political views on that thread. In not doing so I respected the entire community by not subjecting them to my own personal beliefs on such an incendiary subject. I wasn't treated with the same respect. Someone else mentioned Rule 3, which you seemed to have overlooked Jesse, where it states "3) The discussion of politics and religion is irrelevant to good audio and is, therefore, not allowed on this forum."
That's pretty simple and straightforward. I have no qualms about stating that I didn't want to read it and that if people were going to persist I was going to exercise my right to push for banning. Undeterred, the problem not only continued, but, escalated.
So, where is the problem, Jesse? Quoting you, if you don't like it don't read it. I, when reading the RIP thread, wasn't aware that I was going to be reading a religious AND political thread. Someone here couldn't help themselves from drawing outside the lines and it wasn't me. Try to explain to me, Jesse, you validation for blatantly breaking Rule 3 and it's someone else's fault other than the one that broke the rule, especially after it was brought to their attention.

Man, gone for a day and you guys are fighting like cats and dogs over a guy who died yet ? C'mon fellers....refill those med prescriptions and suck down some coffee.
The man was a spiritual leader, so what....small commentary on his accomplishments shouldn't set off triggers for anyone. If we wanted to get specific about RIP threads, everyone who dies has a political or religious leaning, should we ban all RIP threads now because some don't adhere to their beliefs ?
I might suggest, if some would have just let that RIP thread ride out, it would be gone in 2 days and nobody else would have commented in it. Soon to be on page 9, forgotten....like all RIP threads.HT SYSTEM-

As with alot of things I may disagree with....I chose to take the higher ground and say nothing out of respect of others opinions. Last thing we want is this place turning into anything resembling FB.

For you "fragile" types that seem to be disturbed even by just a mention of something spiritual; perhaps you can just walk away? I don't believe in unicorns, but if we had a group of people who did, I wouldn't make it my personal mission to interject.

This isn't a question of beliefs. Surprisingly, I didn't see one comment attacking anyone's beliefs. It's a question of what the people that own this website want and don't want.
The OP of this thread told me to stop correcting people's grammar, yet when I posted the rule about being nice to noobs, he put me on ignore. HAHAHAHA Not REAL ignore. Just PRETEND ignore. That's where you put someone on "ignore" but take them OFF ignore so you can read their comments. -

I know. I am the resident grammar n**i. I was making an inside joke. But thanks for policing the forum. We need more of that. -
That there is another example of why you are. Who pinned the grammer, rule , holier than thou police badge on your chest?
Aren't you just a fine example of a porcupine!

If people watched as much Billy Graham as they claim, maybe they should have listened closer to his message so they wouldn't make themselves look like such hypocrites on internet forums.

Oh yeah? What is that? -

In the RIP thread, someone wanted to give their condolences and merely mentioned his accomplishments. Followed by someone mentioning the accomplishments of his son. At that point you let it ride and offer your own condolences if you wish.
I don't see how you can post that quote above, but need to quote the rules in the other thread, completely unnecessarily de-railing the thread. Why is that ok?
Someone passed away and people are mourning, religious beliefs or not, you need to have respect for the deceased, especially if that person wasn't a bad person. -

With all due respect, your bringing a personal situation into the mix of threads here between yourself and F1NUT. Might be a better idea to work out your differences in PM's to each other than air it out on the forum every time you guys post something. Or just put each other on ignore and be done. Easy peasy....otherwise the mods will be forced to step in and someone will get a vacation.

I know nothing about Billy Graham's son or that he even had one. I copied and pasted one of the rules of this forum after reading where someones condolences went beyond what I felt was stated in the rules. I didn't make any DEMANDS of anyone. I simply posted the rule. At that point I "let it ride" and didn't comment about the OP.
Then someone made a blatant political comment and I responded with a picture of a dog. Then the OP tried to justify his original comment and started in with the name-calling and I responded about the rules again in a completely clinical manner.
I could have taken a completely different tack from the get-go, but I didn't. It's all a matter of perception. I bet 9 out of 10 of you would swear in court that I was an "atheist". -

Initially, I saw this entire thread as being directed at me. I hadn't read every word of every post in the previous one. So, I responded.
