I agree. In fact, I'm glad you nominated yourself. You used to have the name Kilbey, and then you created this one.

I believe he means someone that is banned, that is creating multiple usernames over and over again.

Just how do you propose to EFFECTIVELY "perma-ban" someone without taking out someone innocent who happens to have an IP address in the banned range?

I have an idea though, Ca$h...

Why not create a new user name that has no tricks in it, and uses nothing that would identify you, and doesn't use the number 68, etc. so people don't know it's you, and they stop baiting you. Also, why don't you just let it go? After a while, they'll stop.

He would never do that - he likes the attention.

I wouldn't do it because I don't see the point. I am who I am. I'm trying to get better and I haven't attacked anybody in a while, but I can't just flip a switch and pretend to be someone else. That'd be pretty pathetic actually.

Even though I myself would have been banned a few times for it, I sometimes wish drama queening and thin skin would be a bannable offense

If that were the case I think all the christians would be banned for feeling like they're being attacked all the time.

It is neither. Unless you're 12 years old and wear a nintendo cap. then I guess you'd be considered "funny and clever". But not to any who have grown their curly hairs.

Railroader I think you got a couple of things against you,

first there is something personal between you and Ca$h that goes beyond his bashing Christians and Christianity. that being the case I think the mods are less apt to take your request serious because they see you two in a perpetual flame war which they don't want to get sucked into.

Second there's no way for them to institute a perma-band for those who create multiple accounts to get around being banned.

I really like the idea of hiding the forum to new users. That will prevent a banned user from jumping immediatly back in.

Finally like I said I realize there's a history between you two, but can I offer a bit of advice, ignore his goating and don't goat him, life at 'NN will be much better for everyone. I don't like a lot of his posts and when he (or others) post some harsh things regarding Christians/Christianity. I may reply a couple of times but you know I typically ignore most of the small minded prejudiced remarks. They are the ones who sound foolish so don't get sucked down to their level.

Actually no, I believe from what he has told me it is this very thing that causes animosity between the two.

Same here. I used to talk to Rob all the time on IM. I used to also take up for him. Nothing against him personally. But since he cannot for the life of him stop making bigoted remarks about Christians, I'd rather not associate with him. After a bat of hateful anti-Christian messages to me VIA IM, I've just been ignoring them.

I don't dislike Rob, I just dislike the path he has chosen.

Actually there IS, but that takes alot of effort.

See, that's funny because I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. Just not from you, because you're always a total asshole to me. Maybe I should bring out that picture of your daughter again...

Wow. You suck at the grammar. I think you meant "anyone who believes in christianity IS insane" not 'are' insane. Jesus. No wonder you work at a GM factory.

Hateful remarks? Okay, I like fiction to, but I've never sent you anything hateful. Ever. I can't say the same for you though, you've sent me disgusting pictures at random times.
