Geez--my first post new message. You DROVE me to it. I don't see a catagory for RELIGION -- hint-hint :-)

No one is denying you your right to free speech, but gawd aren't you getting to be a bit much? I would catagorize your posts as SPAM.

Zealots usually have little impact other than to annoy. I'd love to skip your threads, but you just KEEP ON AND ON AND ON.

This is just my free speech right to my opinion. Any others?

I don't worry about Al-d. Anyone who feels compelled to shout his religion from the rooftops constantly is probably trying to drown out doubts about his own religion. Inside, Al-d probably is dealing with a growing unwelcome skepticism toward religion in general and Christianity in particular.

Al-d is just working out his personal stuff. It's always a messy emotional time. Hopefully it won't last too long.

Al, you should tell us your address so someone can check up on you once in awhile. I think you're gonna drive your wife over the edge, if you haven't already.

Especiallly watch the quiet ones Al. They're quiet because they're making plans.......

I don't agree with your opinion, sounds pretty Nazi-esque to me.

You said this is the first time you started a thread, to criticize and censor someone else. In MY opinion, that sounds like you are more of a critic than a creator of original thought. Any fool can criticize, and most fools will. Why don't you start a thread about a subject that you would like to discuss instead of trying to snuff out those you don't like?

Hey Hawk,

Lighten-up dude.

He's just been al-deified.

Did anyone save that 'Drive Your Karma, Curb Your Dogma' ditty from the ol' bomb? I think Kristi posted it & it's high time to resurrect it.

-- flora (***@__._), May 21, 2000.

Flora, you seem to be confused. I'm not the one making verbal attacks and trying to kick Al off the forum.

"Hokay al-

I just read your menstural rags post, I'm gettin' painfully close to putting all input by your keyboard from here on out in the dustbin of da 'bomb. Your call, you lil' mysogynistic zealot, you.

-- flora (***@__._), May 21, 2000."

Looks like you and "doomerstomper" are the ones who need to lighten up. Good luck with that. :-)

-- Hawk (flyin@hi.again), May 22, 2000.

Al-d and Andy Ray. Opposite sides of the same Conehead coin.

-- (nemesis@awol.com), May 22, 2000.

flora,

I kind of like the bumper sticker that goes, "my karma just ran over your dogma".

Hokay Hawkster,

I'm not sure this is the same one, but I just fished this one from the net:

{PS the only one peeping about bannning lil' al is hisself & now you} {{PPS I was urging you to lighten up on doomerstomper, al got his desired reaction from him & I imagine al takes it as a high compliment to have stooped to the level of mysogynistic zealotry in my book. He works pretty hard at torquing folks out at times}}.

"DRIVE YOUR KARMA, CURB YOUR DOGMA

1. Be a Fundamentalist - make sure the Fun always comes from the mental. Realize that life is a situation comedy that will never be cancelled. A laugh track has been provided, and the reason why we are put in the material world is to get more material. Have a good laughsitive twice a day, and that will insure regularhilarity.

2. Remember that each of us has been given a special gift - just for entering. So you are already a winner!

3. The most powerful tool on the planet today is Tell-A-vision. That is where I tell a vision to you, and you tell a vision to me. That way, if we don't like the programming we're getting, we can change the channel.

4. Life is like photography. You use the negative to develop. And, no matter what adversity you face, be reassured: Of course God loves you. He's just not ready to make a commitment.

5. It is true. As we go through life thinking heavy thoughts, thought particles tend ot get caught between the ears, causing a condition called truth decay. So be sure to use mental floss twice a day. And when you're tempted to practice tantrum yoga, remember what we teach in Swami's Absurdiveness Training class: "Don't get even, get odd."

6. If we want world peace, we must let go of our attachments and truly live like nomads. That's where I no mad at you, you no mad at me. That way, there'll surely be nomadness on the planet. And peace begins with each of us. A little peace here, a little peace there, pretty soon all the peaces will fit together to make one big peace everywhere.

7. I know great earth changes have been predicted for the future, so if you're looking to avoid earthquakes, my advice is simple. When you find a fault, just don't dwell on it.

8. There's no need to change the world. All we have to do is toilet train the world, and we'll never have to change it again.

9. If you're looking to find the key to the Universe, I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is - there is no key to the Universe. The good news is - it has been left unlocked.

10. Finally, everything I have told you is channelled. That way, if you don't like it, it's not my fault. And remember, enlightenment is not a bureaucracy. So you don't have to go through channels."

-- flora (***@__._), May 22, 2000.

Don't recall saying I wanted Al-d banned, Hawk. Just lighten up. Spam is spam. I don't start new threads because I like to stay in the background. Lurk. Some are interesting -- some are not. I do not intend to criticize, just respond. If I have something to say that is meaningful to me, I'll say it. If I have something to add, I do.

I don't have time like some ppl around here to sit around the "coffee shop" 24/7, so when I breeze in and read religious spam subjects OVER AND OVER AND OVER, it gets my goat. That simple. The self righeous tone of those posts gags me -- I responded.

Gary North, Michael Hyatt, etc. are usually preferable stomping grounds for the religious minded. I avoid those places for the same reason. Hopefully, this great place won't be turned into the same drivel.

Had you been around in the beginning, you would also be aware that doomerstomper is a she -- not a he. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions?

-- (doomerstomper@usa.net), May 22, 2000.

Very nice flora. I think I shall try to remember that one in my down moments.

-- Uncle Deedah (unkeed@yahoo.com), May 22, 2000.

That was GREAT, Flora. I'm going to copy/paste it and E-mail it to my kids.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 22, 2000.

Thanks for that one, Flora. I'm going to print it out and hang it on the wall.

P.S. Thanks for all your insights and your humor -- it's appreciated.

-- Patricia (PatriciaS@lasvegas.com), May 22, 2000.

roses are red--violets be blue--but flora honey-theres only 1 you. thanks for the laffs.--good medicine--hyuuuh. p.s. i don,t mean to preach--only want to reach. & share the awesome love i,ve found in JESUS.

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), May 23, 2000.

Al:

You may truly be sincere-but I must side with Jim Cooke in that if you REALLY wanted to teach you would not use your word salad to do so. I find it creative, but It is teaching me nothing at all. By the way, please define what you mean by preach and what you mean by teach.

"Had you been around in the beginning, you would also be aware that doomerstomper is a she -- not a he. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions?"

I've been around here longer than you asshole. When did I say you were a "he", and what the fuck difference does it make anyway? When you accused Al of spamming (cause for banning) and he wasn't, you were trying to get rid of him from this forum. How hard is it to click another thread dipshit?

-- Hawk (flyin@hi.again), May 23, 2000.

Geez Hawk -- thought you toned down your inbreeding lately --my mistake :-)

Gawd what an ego you have.

-- (doomerstomper@usa.net), May 25, 2000.

HAAAHAAAHHAAA!!! That's a laugh!

You're projecting, you're the one with the ego. First you start an entire thread implying that you are so superior that you shouldn't even have to look at Al-d's posts, let alone click on them. Then you try to act superior by pretending that you've "been around longer" than me, which is an outright lie. Then you get all sensitive because you THINK I called you a man instead of a woman, when in reality I did neither, and it doesn't mean squat to me because I don't judge people by their gender anyway. Guess it must be "your time of the month," eh "doomerstomper"? You'd best keep your trap shut until your hormones return to normal. Lol!! :-)

-- Hawk (flyin@hi.again), May 25, 2000.

Back to your "mirror" are you Hawk? ROFL! Sorry -- I am beyond my hormone years. I just have little tolerance for pompous assholes like yourself. I know you get off on that sort of thing, but I have better things to do than get in pissing contests with you. I've explained myself more than once. I was generous with you. Read whatEVER you want into what I write. Carry on the conversation yourself though :-)

-- (doomerstomper@usa.net), May 26, 2000.

Yeah, that's cool "doomerstomper"... just keep on going around trying to "stomp" "doomers" and ban religious "zealots" from YOUR life, but do us a favor, don't impose your narrow-minded lifestyle onto the rest of the world. Who's next, perhaps certain ethnic groups, or perhaps cripples? You really are a pathetic example of a human being, you'd fit right in over at EZ board! Lol!!! :-)

-- Hawk (flyin@hi.again), May 26, 2000.

" and it doesn't mean squat to me because I don't judge people by their gender anyway. Guess it must be "your time of the month," eh "doomerstomper"? You'd best keep your trap shut until your hormones return to normal. Lol!! :-)"

Pull over Hawk. You've been caught in an illegal contradiction of yourself.

Your fine: 3 days on the bench no flaming posts allowed. One community service; report at once the score on the hockey game.

-- Flame (police@on.patrol), May 26, 2000.

Nice try Z, but I did not "judge" her by the fact that she was a female, but solely by her actions. Since she made such a big deal about being a female, I just threw that in as a humorous taste of her own medicine.

-- Hawk (flyin@hi.again), May 26, 2000.

"Nice try Z"

Second offense: mis-assumption of identity, disrespect of police, and refusal to submit to imposed fine.

So what's the score anyway?
