Recently a thread by bradigan was closed merely because a moderator decided that the topic
was not worthy of discussion. If this were true I think the thread would have
died on it's own. Just as many hundreds of threads before it.
Unless space is limited for responses on this site, why would a thread that is not
offensive have to be closed?
Respectfully,
Tim
Hi Tim,
Please understand, nowhere in my reply did i state the "topic was not worthy of discussion"
You all can discuss T-shirt phrases and things like that all you want, I sometimes wear T-shirts that have a logo or phase on them.
So it come down to this....is the subject about bibletruths website?
Well...is it? Of course not...Sometimes we just need a nudge to get back on track, It isnt personal, There are hundreds of pages on bible truths web-site, thousands of words...in depth study...life changing articles...do you honestly feel we can sum it up on a T-shirt?
Peace
Chris R
I'm sorry Chris,
There were obviously some people who thought that the topic was worth discussing,
but you decided that it was not. Your statement when closing the thread was "Wearing T-Shirts which state ideas are nothing new, there are in fact entire industries created for such a thing. The idea that this will somehow bring attention to anything other than yourself is doubtful.
Sorry but the thread is over.."
The subject was not specifically the T-shirt, the subject was about a way of stating in public one of the things learned on Bible truths.
That tithing is not scriptural. It could have been a T-shirt, a placard, a tattoo or a note pasted on the forehead.
If the statement caused one person to ask what was meant, and started a dialogue, it may have been
beneficial to someone. So your decision that "The idea that this will somehow bring attention to anything other than yourself is doubtful."
was unwarranted.
You said "nowhere in my reply did i state the "topic was not worthy of discussion"
You did not have to state that you did not think the subject was not worthy,
your actions shouted that you did not think the subject was worthy.
My question was only why a moderator would close a thread that was doing no harm,
and was in fact about proclaiming to the public one of the things learned on Bible truths.
I am not trying to cause division so please do not ask me why I don't just leave the forum.
I appreciate what you and the other moderators do Chris.
I am merely trying to understand actions that do not seem to be accordingto the stated rules.
May God bless all of you,
Tim
