I hope pcaspian stays because, personally, I think he's a nice guy... and in the end, isn't that all that matters??
For the record, pcaspian said this on September 27, 2004:
I have decided to return some time next year, primarily in the hope (truth be told) that Russ starts banning some users on this site.

That page and the next few make clear why pcaspian said he was leaving the site in September.

No1, you need to lay off pcaspian as this is not a f-cking courtroom.
Ivanhoe is already taking a timeout, so that's a good thing.

Well, the difference to me atleast is that I respect any person's belief
and my comment was how did he square such a statement with his history here of calling for people to be banned, I think I'm on-point with the other posters. If you don't like my posts, just alert them; I think you are being petty and ridiculous.
Originally posted by no1marauderI don't alert posts. I address the poster directly.

No1, did I by any chance suggest that any RHP member should receive a ban ... based on their 'belief' i.e. "Russ, please ban BBarr bacause he's an athiest/believes in abortion" ?
If not, please cease this accusation as it simply isn't true.

By poluting the threads, you can either mean one of two things:
1) Presenting ideas which you find abhorant;
2) Or being vulgar, obscene or the like.
If 1), I assure you that many people find your views about the way in which you
feel the world ought to work are equally abhorant and, as such, you ought to be
banned as well.
If 2), then why haven't you observed that Ivanhoe is poluting the threads and
ruining the atmosphere at RHP by his repeated incidents where he insults people
out of hand?
Which is it, 1 or 2?

bbarr was right, I do find time short. Right now my kids are napping and I should be comparing and contrasting Genesis with other Ancient Near Eastern cosmogonies in an essay. I thought I'd take a break.
But bbarr's answer, though correct, isn't the whole story. There is another reason I rarely stop by the forums. It's the kind of thing that's ha ...[text shortened]... much? Sometimes, it just makes me sick.

Hardly, someone who shared my faith would not make vulgar references to Christ. However, as you were being sarcastic, lets try just a little rebuttal.
1. I also supported Ivan's ban from RHP. This alone blows your theory out of the water.
2. Of all the people that do not share my faith and views, a miniscule percentage I believe acted in a fashion deserved of reprimand.
Having said that, I've moved on. So if you want to continue discussing this, perhaps open a thread in the debates forum or we can continue this in private.

I should say that I taught a football player at State U (now in the NFL) who was not only effective on the field, but in my classroom articulated his understanding of biblical injunctions regarding sexuality in a way that the disagreement it provoked from two lesbians in class did not become personal dislike. They disagreed vehemently with his position, but not his manner of expressing it.
He is an impressive Christian. A true gentleman in civil society, and an effective warrior on the field of battle. His tackles often take all the fight out of the enemy quarterback, while his manner provokes no unnecessary fight among those who found his views disagreeable.
Originally posted by ivanhoeFirst, I never defended bbarr.
Why don't we leave Jesus Christ and what you believe He wants out of this for a change.
Why don't you analyse the whole situation on the forums instead of defending foulmouth Bbarr and his bullying friends and stop attacking and critisising me for not doing what you believe God wants. Please leave God out of this.
Second, I will never leave Christ out of it. I am a Christian.
Third, because you claim to be His follower (that's what the word Christian means) I am shocked that would leave Christ out of anything.
Fourth, you accused me of keeping my faith to myself and within my home, and now you demand that I leave my faith when I come to discuss forum etiquette. Am I too Christian or not Christian enough?
