I was going to address a rather lengthy reply to Ceppa over something he
posted up at me in the last few days this evening, but reading your statements
while wearing your *moderator's hat*, I think I'd have been banned for what I
was about to say.


RC>Its a fine line, tread carefully.


In any case......let me point something out to you:


In this echo.......Ceppa styles himself *God Dan*.


That is particularly offensive to any denomination of Christian, and Ceppa
knows very well it is.


To Christians....there is only one *God*......and Ceppa isn't Him. But, being
forced to reply to Ceppa in this echo is the same as replying to a `false'
god, and that is not only offensive on a personal level (and Ceppa knows this,
which is why he does it), to a Christian it is sacriligeous to do so.


Just reading some of the taglines on the tail end of Ceppa's posts in here,
anyone can see he is being deliberately insulting and provocative to both
Christian posters as a whole, and focus's on particular posters as well.


M>>    another echo I moderate.. (Granted Alan is gone)


I think you have banned Stan Hardegree unfairly. Ceppa committed the very
offense he accused me of committing, cursing me in the process, and posted his
little whine under the name *co-moderator*.


That isn't fair. But then, Ceppa has never been known for `fairness'.


In any event......add me to Stan Hardegree on your list of people not allowed
to post in here. In light of what you said in this packet with your
*moderator* hat on.....what I was going to say to Ceppa would have gotten me
booted from here real quick. I will not give you any examples of some of the
things I intended to say to him, but you can well imagine.


In any case, there is no need to make me `read only'...as I will honor this
self-imposed ban on my own.


Thank you.
