really? cupid dave, please do not speak about reading comprehension while failing to comprehend the clear meaning of the ToS. Here's what I'm talking about specifically:
Within the Terms that each Member has agreed to in exchange for the Service rendered here we find Section 2.5 describing behavior expectations for each of us.
NOTE: From your top blue menu bar, click
[Quick Links] for the Drop Down Menu and then choose "
Terms of Service" to view.
Here it is, in part, for your reference:
Notice how this conforms with the
Mission Statement here at ChristianForums.net
ChristianForums.net
aspires to provide a place where Christians can come together
in fellowship for encouragement, inspiration, and strength to help build each other up and grow in our walk of faith through honest and open discussion, study, reflection, and prayer.
ChristianForums.net desires to serve non-Christians,
seeking answers to questions about Christianity, by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ so they too may acquire the hope, joy,
and peace that come from fellowship with the saving grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Now then, notice that I have taken pains to highlight the portion of the Terms that are agreed and settled and that apply directly to such things as have been said in this thread. I've got three rules of my own. They comprise "Sparrow's Law" and were designed by a Primary Care Giver and Parent who had children in mind, knowing that they would seek to test them in every way they could. Here they are too, given at no extra charge.
Sparrow's Family Law said:
Do not hurt yourself nor allow yourself to look like you are willing to hurt yourself.
Do not hurt others nor allow yourself to look like you are willing to hurt others.
Do not break things.
There's only three (3). They are paired down to the vital necessities of life shared with others. The state of Washington has collaborated with me in the forming of what is known as "Sparrow's Family Laws." They neither affirm nor deny the authority contained therein, but I'm just mentioning it to give credit where credit is due and also because I like the sound of it as it makes me, as a parent, seem more of a big deal that way.
Hope it helps, and that there will be no further need for Moderator action or concern here.
Cordially,
Sparrow
