St. Patrick's Day Massacre


December 7 update:

The fascist rednecks and homophobes Lexi (tractor gurlie) and this so-called "preacher roy" (his 3rd name is just "paster" after changing 2 others and a bunch of sock puppets to hide his identity) have gone back to deleting my posts after I loosing the debate completely (that's always a sign someone lost the debate, when they use censorship) The complete lack of logic, hypocrisy, and illiteracy of thse idiots is beyond belief, but read on. I have not included the basic posts of those trying to discuss the string of the parade and what happened, so there are gaps. I have included others on the latest issue. You can read it all online, or even participate.

You can call me whatever names you choose but I find it interesting that anyone who challenges you when you make absurd statements that even you admit were over the top is "nitpicking".

In past posts on this thread I've referenced various Articles in the UCMJ. Article 88 that you offer up as proof is this:

“Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

Elements.

(1) That the accused was a commissioned officer of the United States armed forces;

iraqwarvet is an unknown person who says he is NOT a commissioned officer.

(2) That the accused used certain words against an official or legislature named in the article;

He said he doesn't believe the war is just, needed etc. He made no mention of the CIC or Congress that I read.

(3) That by an act of the accused these words came to the knowledge of a person other than the accused; and

Since he is an anonymous poster all this is unknown.

(4) That the words used were contemptuous, either in themselves or by virtue of the circumstances under which they were used. Note: If the words were against a Governor or legislature, add the following element

If saying 'I don't like this war' is a courts martial offense, about 90% of the military should be in the brig.

(5) That the accused was then present in the State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession of the Governor or legislature concerned. 

It's the internet, he could be anywhere.

Pastor - I'll be succinct:

1. I've posted several times in the past that if you are looking for adoration or admiration from the amen pew, a public forum is a bad place to be. Personally, I've tried to keep things civil, but I'm not a hall monitor. 

2. I've also posted that I would defend anyone's Constitutional rights and if someone were threatening your 1st Amendment rights you'd find me right beside you. But, calling Bill Clinton evil and gays sinners, paints a big target on yourself. If you're going to throw stones, expect people to return fire.

Now during the parade if the person in charge feels that the message the group is present is not what he expect does he have the right to revoke that person permit to be in the parade? Once the permitted has revoked and the police ask that group to remove themselves from the parade route what happens next is up the that group they can obey or chose to disobey the polices request. Once a decision is made that group is responablile for their own actions. No ones freedom of speech or 1st Amendment rights were violated because the person in charge has the right to pull someone permitted from the parade. So the stubblen block between you and me is I do not see this issue as a 1st amendment of freedom of speech issue. Why? Because I see this parade as a private parade due to the fact you must applies for a permit in order to be the parade.

Was the parade public or private is a question that will likely come up again in the courts. I don't know what arguments the lawyers will make or what decisions the judges will make. But, it seems to me that if you hold an event that is open to the public with no admission charge, on public streets and with tax payer funded police patrolling, it will be difficult to argue that the parade is private. I don't see how anyone could therefore trespass on a city street.

My comments, and my position regarding the Constitutional right to free speech and peaceful assembly have been in regard to the police actions. I'm betting that some of the police got called into a superior's office after the parade and were asked "Just what were you thinking by dragging an old lady across the pavement with video cameras rolling all around you? We are supposed to be the protectors of little old ladies, not bullies. You are making us all look like thugs!" The police are there to protect and serve. Their role is not punitive. Police apprehend suspects. DAs determine if there's a case and then bring it to trial. Lawyers provide evidence to a jury and Judge. If all this proves beyond a reasonable doubt that they suspect is indeed a criminal, they are sentenced or fined. Advocating the police short circuit our judicial system by doling out physical punishment on the streets is not wise and its not Constitutional.

If your dog bites a neighbor kid playing in the street, you smack the dog on the head with a newspaper, not give it a petite filet. The fact that you may not like your neighbors kid is irrelevant.

It appears to me that the police overreacted because they didn't like the protesters. If this group had been wearing T-shirts calling for people to join them at their Sunday bible study classes, whether or not they had a valid parade permit would have been handled peacefully.

As far as iraqwarvet, I work with these guys. Many of them have had their bell rung so many times from IEDs and sniper fire they are suffering from undiagnosed PTSD. They get angry. Many self medicate and are borderline drug or alcohol abusers, others have strained their family relationships to the breaking point and beyond. Most, whether they express it out loud or not are disillusioned that after 5 years in the sandbox with multiple tours, they still are not doing what they signed up to do; fight those terrorists who ran planes in the WTC.

If you think his language was offensive, you should hear what I've heard; it would make your ears ring. It would also make you realize that our fine young men and women are being pushed beyond the breaking point.

If someone came to you for spiritual counseling and they were angry and confused would you call them an idiot or coward? No, you would understand they were under great stress and would take any of their remarks with a huge grain of salt.

Time and Time again you have attack people by names call to advance you world view. The issue is simply once the police told them to move they should have obey the polices offices instead of acting like they did. They could have obey the police but they chose not to. I do not care if the people parade had the right to remove or not. Once a police ask you to move out of the way you obey and sort out the mess latter. So please do not justify their behavior by saying the parade made a mistake. The only mistake was your group not obeying the police.

"preacher" roid, you know all the answers to these questions as you heard it over and over for 7 months now. Here's something new for you to ignore: 

Former judge, civil rights lawyer, devout Quaker, and co-chair of the El Paso County ACLU, who was arrested in the parade, answers your latest "pretend I don't know" question very nicely in his statement at the press conference. 4 of the arrested speak in this video.

"We stopped our walk, on command, to quietly wait and see what the police and parade organizers wanted to do."

As for your charge "since when have you be know for tell the truth on any issues", I'll ignore the illiteracy and stupidity and simply say it is your opinion that I am NOT known for telling the truth. (if you had any guts, you'd just say "liar") Of course, most of the time, I let the videotape, photos, quotes, research, data, facts, court transcripts, and studies do my talking for me.

My experience is that if you treat these men with respect and dignity they will return in kind. If you attack them, they will return fire.

It's that simple. 

Does a father stab his son if the son asks why he is being treated unfairly even if his son asks in a very loud tone? Do you give a man a stone when he asks for bread? If we simply step back, take a deep breathe and try to understand the context in which something is posted, I think we'd be much more patient, much more understanding, much slower to anger. If we make it a condition that in order to forgive others, they must first apologize to us, its bargain hunting; not forgiveness.

Not all on the left, all peaceniks, protesters, antiwar, Democrats (I'm not one), MoveOn.org members, or parade marchers (I wasn't arrested and no member of CSaction was). That's just the bigoted way you think and you assume everyone else does to. I speak for me and there's not a GD thing you can do about it.

The way you and all bigots think is that any statement or action by any member of a loosely affiliated group is counted as the statement or action of that entire group and every member. Nothing could be further from the truth with every group I've known, but bigots like you think that way.

An illegal immigrant breaks in to a house, and ALL undocumented workers, and everyone in Mexico is a thief. A gay priest preys on the boys in the choir and all gay men are pedophiles.

This is an inherit weakness of the binary thinkers like you that see everything in the world as a Yin and Yang polar dichotomy of good and evil, black and white, God and satan.

You prefer weak, passive, apologetic, meek, defenseless hippie peaceniks begging you for permission to have a little peace and I won't play your game and you can't take it. GFY. You need to sit with the kids at the card table for Thanksgiving dinner. ;.) 

I've made no attempt to silence you. You have deleted posts of mine before. You are what you accuse me of, and a hypocrite because of it. Debating people I disagree with is not trying to silence them. Deleting posts IS. Correcting the misinformation and lies on this blog is not trying to silence anyone, but fighting for the truth. Out debating the klan members here with evidence, photos, videotape, and logic is painful for you, but it's in no way an attempt to silence you. It's just the truth and "you can't handle the truth". "I didn't give you Hell. I PROVED to you the truth. You just thought it was hell"

Hiding behind that fake "pastor" name is a lie. Using the church to spread your bigotry is an abomination to the church. 

Now say I hate Christians because I call it like I see it, and you a hypocrite bigot.

Now the lie you are saying is this “I am hiding behind that fake “pastor” name”. This is your first lies and misinformation you like to spread. I have been a licensees Minster for over 18 years, I have been a children pastor in 4 churches, youth is 2 churches, I have been pastor. Now I used my first name under the last system I went by Pastor Roy. Have you csaction every used your real name posting here? Since I have used my name, sir, you are the one hiding by a fake name.

Now you lack of understanding and refusing to listen is your next’s lie “ Using the Church to spread your bigotry” The Bible, The Word of God, The Christian Bible what every you want to call it is clear that certain life style and behavior is call a sin. I know you will not listen to it because it does not fit your narrow minded world view on life. An that your talking point that right your talking that you get off your web page will not permitted you to admit you are wrong. I have been out spoke against the bigots the promote the hate and lies you see coming from the Kansas group, you sir, have never spoken out against the hate and lies the left has spread. I need to do some phone calls and get back with some moe of your lies and misinformation you are spreading.

I have never called for deleting your posting under the last system. You sir, want to blame me because it helps you to feel better. I have called for the deleting of a person posting when he used my name to pass false information, now unless you were the person using my name to insult me and silence me then yes I have called for the deleted of these posting. Under this system I reported you once for comment that was hateful but only once. 


“Correcting the misinformation and lies on this blog is not trying to silence anyone, but fighting for the truth.

NOW calling people names is not correcting misinformation and lies, it is to intimidate people in to silence and obedience. The names and words you like to is for the sole reason to try an discredit people. You have Bible Believing Christina Taliban, you call the problem in the middle east the Zionist problem. Why? Because again you talking points on your web page tells you to. 

“An illegal immigrant breaks in to a house, and ALL undocumented workers, and everyone in Mexico is a thief. A gay priest preys on the boys in the choir and all gay men are pedophiles.”

Now I have never made the above statement, you want to lie an make it sound like I did becasue it helps you in your attack and spreding of misinformation about me. I have made it clear that the priest that preyed on the boys were gay. I have never and will never call all gay men pedophiles. That is an insult to my brother and his parent who would hurt a child. That statement is an insult to my best friend in Kansas who is gay an would never hurt a child. This is one of your lies and misinformation you love to spread about Christian so you can call us bigots.


“This is an inherit weakness of the binary thinkers like you that see everything in the world as a Yin and Yang polar dichotomy of good and evil, black and white, God and satan.” An yes I do see the world in the of good versus evil for the most part and yes it is God versus satan.

Take a breath, pastor. I'm a member of the peace movement, and I've never been "violent and name calling, spitting on soldiers, destroying government property, attack polices offices". 

Except for name calling which really seems to bug you. I don't know why. You call people names as much or more than anyone, and I don't see any problem with it, except when you complain about it. No one complains about it but you. I'm not sure which blogs you frequent where people talk about politics and don't insult each other on occasion. Maybe a political blog isn't for you, you know? "Can't take the heat..."

Anyone that ever spit on a soldier hurt the movement by giving people like you some endless myth to bring up constantly for the last 40 years, so they're no friend of mine. Same for destroying government property and police offices. I'm sure there have been some, but you can't paint the whole peace movement with the same broad brush. Otherwise, because of the priest scandal, Haggard, Richard Roberts, and Jimmy Swaggert, you would have to be an adulerous, gay, pedophile, embezzler, just because you're a pastor. It doesn't work like that. They did those things. Not every man of the cloth.

I've never seen anyone in the peace movement do the things you say. Certainly not me. I don't want any part of your squabble with csa, but you caught yourself in a trap when you said, "I have never called for deleting your posting", then said, "I reported you once for comment that was hateful but only once." 

Not only do you admit to trying to censor someone here, but decide that you will be the thought police and decide what is hateful and what is not. You've posted hateful things about gay people for months. I'm afraid the charge of hypocrite is correct.

Atheist I am glad you never spit on a soldier but the peace movement history has should that it has happen and when people think of the peace movement that is what they think about. Also the only person posting I asked to be deleted under the old system was a person who posted under my name and making statement like this “I like boys to sleep with” this statement and other were an insult and had no place in this area. For Csaction I reported him once under the new system for language that was wrong. I know you will not like this because it does not fit you view of me.

As for hateful statement your have say I have made. I have spoke clearly about my feeling about my brother life style. I have called in a sin and that is it. I have never called for violent against them, I have called for someone not to be hired because they were gay. I have spoken out against people who do that. Your problem as your handle points out is with Christian who believe in God’s Word and that certain behavior are wrong. I have spoken out against gay marriage base on our nation history on marriage not on the Bible. You pick me out of every who posted here because of my title and I am clear on my point and you do not like it.

It certainly says something about our streets if a 2 tour Veteran of Baghdad can survive there but not here. Spc. Shields is not one of the Veterans I work with, so don't know him. My thoughts are with his family.

"preacher", I'm not interested in personal conversations with anyone on these strings, especially you, but merely post about the subject of the article and sometimes some additional facts about the issue, if it looks like that would serve the truth.

I was unaware of you deleting a recent post of mine, until you admitted it here. One of the problems with everyone not logging in here with their email address (contact@csaction.org) is that these conversations cannot happen offline, where they belong.

What strikes me about your post is this: "For CSaction I reported him once under the new system for language that was wrong".

"Wrong"? And what language was it that you determined, in your infinite wisdom, was wrong? Who are you to determine what is wrong, and right? Are you sure you didn't just find a word you thought might excuse your deleting my post and censoring me, because you disagreed with the content of what I said? The arrogance of those of you who elect yourselves to speak for god, amazes me. BTW, don't think I missed your anti-Semitic slander; it's just beneath the threshold for comment. The only interesting thing is that you call me that while whining about name calling. Pathetic.

Now, enough time wasted with you, and back to the subject at hand, as I see I have missed a question about the parade participants. By my count, there were 6 Veterans in our group walking with us, representing 3 groups, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace, and Vietnam Veterans Against the War (John Kerry's group). By definition, that would include members of VFW, VVA, and other groups. Opposition to war is not down party lines, or service lines, or any other lines as far as I can tell. At least as many registered Republicans were in our group, a former corrections officer at Canon City was arrested and choked; another testified for us in court, so law enforcement was also represented. A quaker minister was arrested, a former Catholic priest and chaplain of CC marched with us, so the mix of atheists, agnostics, Christians, Buddhists, and whatever were also represented. To tell you the truth I don't know, because it's irrelevant to me. I have no idea what people's religious beliefs are, except for a few. I don't choose my friends or political allies on that basis. If they'll stand up for peace, I'm on their side. 

I think everyone wants peace. I think it's 100%. People get into the politics and forget that they want their grandchildren to live in a peaceful world, and some think that war will create peace, but I don't think I've ever heard of someone who doesn't want peace.

That's what makes it so strange to say that a message of peace is an affront, politically inflammatory, a de facto protest, an unwelcome political agenda forced on people, and many of the other charges about this parade entry.

Pastor - It is my OPINION (the caps will be obvious later) that the problem here originates in perspective.

Some Christians say that homosexuality is a sinful lifestyle choice and that this sin will get the homosexual thrown into hell for eternity unless they repent and change themselves into heterosexuals. These same Christians state that this is not their OPINION, but that it's a fact and then reference scripture to support their "facts". 

Others state that homosexuals are born that way and have no choice in the matter any more than someone chooses to be born Black or Latino. They cite scientific research to support their position.

So who is correct? Well, of course the Christian group would say they are and the other group would insist that they are. Each will call the others incorrect.

My point: When you post things on a website like this one, you've moved yourself out of the comfort and safety of say a bible study class where when you say "Let us pray" everyone dutifully bows their heads. Here, it's likely that people will read what you consider to be "fact" and be insulted by it. Declaring or implying that you hold absolute truths with God-like precision because you say you are a Pastor, have a gay brother, read the bible, or have God's ear only inflames the argument.

For you to come back later and say "What? I never said anything against gays." after you just said they were all sinners and are going to hell, may seem perfectly matter of fact to you, but its insulting to large groups of people who don't happen to see it like you do.

I watched Jim Dobson on Larry King one night. Dobson stated on the air that anyone who didn't accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour would be going to hell. Larry King, a Jew, called him on it. Dobson said something like 'That's not just my opinion, its the opinion of millions of Christians all over the world.' 

There are 6.6 billion people on this planet. It is the OPINION of approximately 5+ billion that Jim Dobson is wrong.

So who's opinion is fact and who's opinion is opinion? The answer lies in your own beliefs and perspective.

Let me restate what I began with; this is my opinion.

It's possible that the millions of Christians Dobson was talking about really do have that opinion, he certainly has the ability to poll them all, and, that figure could be based on the millions of letters he receives from Christians all around the world, so I wouldn't doubt his remark.

I'd be willing to bet that there are millions of Christians right here in the US alone who believe as he does. So what?

After reading my post you thanked me for it. Lexii read the very same post and replied:

"Says who? You? Have you polled everyone on the planet?"

It's pretty obvious that I didn't personally poll 6.6 billion people, so why would she ask such a question after I stated twice in my post that I wasn't posting facts, but only opinions? You'd have to ask her.

Now I could have replied with something like "Yes, I did indeed personally poll every single person on the planet except you because I wasn't interested in an outsiders opinion. If you had an IQ higher than a box of hair, you would have understood that I was trying to give an example of fact vs. opinion and the actual numbers weren't important." But that would just further escalate the fight and would quickly lead us away from the point I was originally making. I could call her names that she has called others on this forum and say she started it.

So, I have a decision to make. I choose to ignore her.

Preacher, I know I'm being suckered again by a deceptive blog troll, but since English is not your first language, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here again. The answer to your question is both are true. I know you have deleted (censored) my opinions in the past (on the old blog) and I was not aware that you had RECENTLY (that means not a long time ago) censored me on the "new" blog. I know that you are the type of person that censors people and decides what is right and wrong for others, but was simply not aware that a post of mine was missing in action do to your well known theofascism. That's fine. Keep showing your true colors.

Now, this will be the hardest concept of all for you to grasp. The answer to your question is not either of the 2 EXTREME possibilities, but both together in a blend of 50-50. In your world in binary extremes of total love and good, and on the other hand, total hate and evil, the gray area in between the black and while is unknown, but that's where 98% of the truth is. Neither of the extremes, but in the middle.

Keeping someone from speaking, silencing a dissenter, censoring other's opinions is fascism. Born of fear and neurosis and self doubt, and most importantly for you...a lack of faith. A lack of faith that you're right. A lack of faith that everyone won't side with you, and might think I've made a good point. A lack of faith that the self appointed spokesman for god has not quite represented him with the perfection he deserves.

Now, between 10:04 and 11:56, you have gone back to claiming that you did not delete any posts, then, in the same post, admit again, that you did. Deception is a trap. You have to keep track of all the lies, and they will quickly become too large to manage. You have managed to take over the string and turn the attention to yourself, and another sermon, so have been successful in that way, but you trap yourself over and over.

BTW, 1.637 billion Christians on earth. 6.671 billion people. The vast majority are NOT Christians. 5 Billion.

CSAction, reporting an abusive post doesn't censor anyone, nor does it delete the post unless several others have also reported the same post.

Pastor has explained to you that he has reported one of your posts on this newer system, not that he deleted or even censored it. There's a difference between deleting a post and reporting it as abusive. If he reports it and it's subsequently deleted without others also having reported it, then it was deleted by the moderators, not by Pastor.

Now, could you please get off the broken record here? You've complained about plenty of people's posts yourself, so stop nitpicking at Pastor.

He's not the only person to have registered a complaint about any of your posts, I've registered a few complaints about your posts in the past myself as have some other people. Personally, I haven't registered a complaint about any of your posts since this new posting system took affect, but I will tell you that I'm getting tired of your attacking Pastor on this particular subject, especially for something so trivial, so I'm asking you to please stop it and try to engage in rational and meaningful dialogue.

Thank you.

Now I understand csaction, you are above the Gazette Standard, you can post what ever you wants and we are not permitted to report your hate speech as abuse to the Gazette if we do, you called it censoring . this is not not permitted accordance to you, csaction. So csaction I guess there is two standard one for you and one for the rest of us. I know understand, so I guess I will just let you go about attacking people and spreading hate as you seem fit.

amazed, my smart arsed answer to your "opinion" was meant to show you how silly your analogy is. An opinion is usually based on something, on what basis would you claim that over 5 billion people don't agree with Dobson? Are you naive enough to think that just because someone isn't a Christian that they either will or won't agree with Dobson? For your information, there are many non-Christians who agree that homosexuality is a deviant and unacceptable lifestyle. And for your further information, not every Christian agrees with Dobson.

You can have all of the opinions you want, but if you want to impress someone with them, then at least try to use some kind of reasoning while expressing your opinion. A bit of knowledge of the subject doesn't hurt, either.

When it comes to Dobson, I don't think you have a whole lot of knowledge of what you're talking about, you're just spouting hatefulness.

"Some Christians say that homosexuality is a sinful lifestyle choice and that this sin will get the homosexual thrown into hell for eternity unless they repent and change themselves into heterosexuals. These same Christians state that this is not their OPINION, but that it's a fact and then reference scripture to support their "facts".
Others state that homosexuals are born that way and have no choice in the matter any more than someone chooses to be born Black or Latino. They cite scientific research to support their position.
So who is correct? "


Actually, I believe that homosexuality is a mental defect, and the only way to cure it is to follow the scripture and eliminate the defective people. We wouldn't want people running around with leprosy, AIDS, Hepatitis, Bird flu, so why should people with mental defects be allowed to run around in society?

You can scream and yell all you want preacher, but deleting a post of another blogger IS censorship. It's typical of people like you, too. Just because you claim you only censored me once, doesn't make it any less of a violation of my equal right to speak here. If someone only shoots someone once, is it any less murder? (yeah, I know it's justified if YOU shoot them in the name of god, but that wasn't the question)

Just because you claim it was some word (you refuse to name) that was offensive to you, doesn't change a thing. It was the truth of hat I posted that you used the EXCUSE of bad language to delete the post.

Why don't you let the gazette monitor their own blog and decide? Why don't you start your won blog on why Jesus wants us to be intolerant and when I post something there, then you can delete it?

Who put you in charge?
Who made you the "decider"?
Who made you god?

OK, it was calm and quiet until Pondfrogz came in and started it up again with her remark. 

CSAction, if you don't stop it, I and probably most everyone else will start reporting your posts as abusive and send emails to the internet director at the Gazette. 

Pastor, ignore him and maybe he'll stop it.

Pondfrogz, next time you want to sit in the corner, do so quietly so as to not stir things up again.

Now let's have a little peace. If we can't discuss things peacefully, then let's not discuss them at all.

No worries, Pastor -- just ignore him, and report his posts if you need to. I went ahead and reported his last post myself, there was no need for that attack.

It's one thing to say something someone doesn't like,or to even take a jab or two, but to continue on and on with it in a personally attacking manner like that is unsightly and rather annoying.

OK, folks, let's not gang up on CSAction here. While I see some good advice for him (and all of us, actually), I'm sure this is enough to give him the message.

Most, if not all, of us have crossed that line a time or two, or have come close, and once in a while seems forgivable. Even so, we should all strive to make sure we don't make it a daily habit, and I think that CSAction has been reminded about that plenty here today.

And, if CSAction continues the behavior, I have no doubt that there will be more reminders...lol...but for now let's give him the benefit of the doubt and give him a chance to turn from his evil, sinful posting ways.

Go and sin no more brother CSAction. or sister. (I'm sorry, I really don't know your gender.)

CSAction, please show me where I threatened to delete your posts? In fact, you can't because I didn't. I stated that I would report abusive posts, which I did.

You need to stop your nonsense and try to get along with people here. If you can't do that, you're in the wrong place.

When you learn to be civil with people, maybe people will discuss things with you again. Until then, it would be wise for everyone here, including myself, to completely ignore you from now on, not reading or answering any of your posts. 

If you refuse to try to get along with others, then you can just enjoy posting to yourself as far as I'm concerned.

Enough said.

the deleted post:

Lexi, you're thinly veiled threats to delete my posts do not scare me. Your righteous indignation about about name calling (when you just called an Iraq War veteran a "coward" and "idiot") is as fake as preacher's who called me an anti-Semite on these boards for months, but all in a tither over some un-named affront. It all fits perfectly with the "holier than thou" attitude of those that decide what defines name calling (nothing they say, and anything said by someone with whom they disagree) and who decides what posts need to be removed. Show some spine and integrity.

Leave the posts there and rebut them IF you can. I would never think to delete a post as a way to shut someone up that I disagree with. Your threats are empty, and your invitation to others to help you delete my posts is another pathetic attempt at censorship.

I especially love the messianic posture with "go and sin no more", and the editorial use of the word "we". Are you sure you speak for everyone Lexi, and have been elected hall monitor?

Now, is there any discussion of the parade left? No more questions? Everyone seen the videos? No one else, but Lexi want to call me a liar over what the photos show? That is the topic on this string, isn't it? Or is it preacher Roid? Is he the topic of every string? Is that all you people have to discuss? Him, his life, his opinions, and his religion? And now, what he thinks I should and should not be allowed to say here. Nothing happened in the world today, but preacher roid? http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=csaction

I, for one, consider deleting other's posts censorship too. This is a news blog, not a kindergarten blog. I've seen a lot of things that could be consider outside the terms of service, and the Gazette says it had to change this blog over to a new software because of the hateful things said against blacks, women, gays, whatever, and none of those things they complained about were things csa said.

Lexiii, you say show you where you deleted his posts, and then you say it looks like they were deleted. I missed them, and now I don't get to see for myself or decide for myself? How do you brag about deleted someone's posts and then say you didn't? Who put you in charge?
