The poster registered as Jesus Christ our lord. This is obviously chosen specifically to upset and enflame people, especially when the poster is actually quoting Jesus and basically baiting people into getting mad.

You're trolling. Knock it off. It may be humorous to you, but it's only going to get yourself in trouble.

Since none of the content in my posts was even remotely offensive in the standard way(such as name-calling, profanity or crudeness), I can only assume your concern lies entirely in the username I have chosen.

Your warning then leaves me in a completely unresolved state. Since, by your sensibilities, there is literally no post I could make under this username - your warning seems to be a request for me to deat myself.

If my very username is so offensive that it deserves deleting, then delete it. If not, then your warning needs to be a great deal more specific. Am I to be allowed to exist, yet never to post? Until the matter is resolved, I will respect your warning and confine any posts to this thread only.

You're mimicking Jesus Christ in that specific post; which you are getting to the point of trolling by saying things that Jesus himself said. Post just like any other poster, and you'll be fine, but when you're saying things from the Bible in response to others, you'll definitely be skirting the line of trolling.

Edit: And just a note, you weren't given a warning at all. You were told to knock it off.

Thank you. I understand.

I may continue to post as any other poster, but I may not say anything Biblical or to otherwise confuse people that may think I am actually Jesus.

I apologize for any problems this may caused.

On second thought, we'll take you up on your offer to remove your puppet, Gartref, since it's been made abundantly clear that you will continue to be offensive with it.

I believe that was unduly harsh - as was the telegram you sent me.

Everyday in the General forum I see hate-filled rhetoric spouted in the name of Jesus left alone as protected opinion. I make a couple of extremely mild posts completely free of flaming, hate or religious bigotry - And I am now the villian.

My objective was to mildly point out that Jesus is probably not thrilled about the nasty things people keep saying in his name.

If you find this post as offensive as the others, feel free to deat this account as well.

Yes, and I am sure your implication that some posters would actually believe you are Jesus rather than simply be offended by your borderline trolling was not meant to be offensive.

I am sorry you find "Your remarks in Moderation make it seem very clear that you DO mean to be as offensive as possible," to be unnecessarily harsh.

Thank you. Apology accepted.
