Please edit these posts made by Ankher and delete the name of G-D from them. I asked him as I will show you but he refused.

I asked him and not only did he refuse, he failed to respect my beliefs and continued to post it. Please edit the posts and ask him to refrain from posting it again.
Thanks!

Provided he continues to stay within the site rules, he's welcome to debate on any subject.
And I'm not going to censor a word because of someone's religious beliefs.

If you don't like what he has to say, these forums have an ignore function.

I don't want to ignore him because we're debating. It's just that I find writing G-Ds name offensive. I have no problem with YHWH but just not to write the whole word. It won't make much difference to the debate with or without it and its offensive to me. No-one else desperately needs that word there so why not do it?

What can't I post?

Any content that is:

* obscene
* illegal
* threatening
* malicious
* defamatory
* spam


It doesn't fall into one of those, so it's really up to him whether or not he chooses to respect your beliefs and not use the word. From what I've seen, he's not using it in an attempt to provoke you so there's nothing I can do.

Saying he's a false deity isn't intended to provoke? Then what is?
The fact that he has no respect for religious beliefs doesn't mean you're not allowed to have some.

Using the name of God, because it means something/someone different to everyone, is not offensive; perhaps, this poster you've complained about finds it offensive that you believe in Him at all, but he isn't saying to knock it off... he's just debating his points.

Thats my belief, i'm not asking him to change his belief, i'm just asking him to respect mine. He never used the name of G-D before. I can find at least 5 previous posts where he used the abbreviated form. Now he suddenly changed it. Other than that, what reason would there be for him to refuse to change G-D's name other than to provoke me?

You are asking him to change his beliefs. He believes he can spell out the name of his Lord and Savior, then, simply by asking him not to, you are subverting his religious practice.

Just ignore him. It's just a freaking game, and I'm sure your Lord would say the same thing: Ignore him.

I'm going to assume you didn't mean to be sarcastic and say that those are not his beliefs! He doesn't think that you should or shouldn't, he has no opinion on it, then why should it bother him.
In all fairness i'm asking him to change 2 letters in two of his posts. The only reason he won't do it is to be provocative. So lets assume he's Christian or Muslim. Find me the part of the Qoran or bible that says, "you must spell out G-D's name every time you can."

It's just a freaking game.
Great, it's just a game. Spam shouldn't be illegal I mean, it's just a freaking game, let people spam if they want. Let people insult and swear at each other, it's just a game, what harm could it do?

Myrth already provided you with an answer to your inquiry; just carry on seeing as how you don't want to heed to it.

...And that translates as:
"I've run out of things to say so i'm just going to stop."
You continued up until now with no problem, what happened?

What happened is I realized arguing against you is futile, and I have better things to do with my time; the mods ruled, carry on.

All right, that's enough, you've have your ruling.
