Far be it from me to speculate that something fishy is afoot... but has anyone else noticed the somewhat strong correlation between posters in the General Forum claiming that God has granted them revelations or spoken to them and given them priveleged information and said posters later being banned from posting?

Now, I wouldn't want to suggest that the Moderators are involved in a global conspiracy to keep us ignorant of these messages from God, but...

You know damn well that they each did individual flamer activity (that or were puppet trolls)

(sorry that sounded confrontational) I ment to point out that they had individual issues (I was around for most of them and have talked to some after ... such as vote)

And the same could not be said for Muhammed, Jesus or Joan of Arc?

Leading griefing invasions, disrupting/hijacking store fronts, and attempting to overthrow the moderating powers respectively.

Could be said so they caused a disruption in the established order (though just because some people that people like do it does not nessisarly make them the good guy (the ones doing the disrupting) and it does not make the established athority wrong ... you compare them to jesus ... I could compare them to Timothy McVey )

But either way generaly jesus and the others are usualy atributed at sharing a message not griefing thoes who think different from them

Meh ... I'm still here. Then again, my strangeness didn't come from Allah. It came from a vision of a prophet. Bit different, that.

Yeah but you're not crazy, or rude and offensive.

I guess that explains a lot. :p

Well, like most self claimed prophets. You heard their cry of repentence etc etc.. Lets put it to the flame and see whether its true or not.

Or they've been talking to their cat too long.

My cat told me the secret to life, but I was drunk, and I didn't have a pen and paper. When I came to, I've forgotten what it was.

She'll talk again! I have ways of making her talk!

I want chicken, I want liver, meow mix meow mix please deliever.

A friend of mine, while high, thought he'd discovered the meaning of life. So he'd remember it later he wrote it down on a serviette in highlighter.

Apparently the next morning it was just a collection of meaningless symbols... :p
