prose Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 [quote name='Revprodeji' post='1624263' date='Aug 11 2008, 01:43 PM']I think if we are going to have the tag that we should have a link, or a short paragraph on their profile so we know why. Otherwise we just ignore the people as if they were evil.[/quote] Why? If someone is returning, they may not want to be linked to their old posts. Why provide a connection to something people may not want reflected on themselves anymore? I dunno. I think the "I don't rep the pope" tag is a strange choice. I don't understand the blocking of pm's. I think pm blocking should be the type of thing that is a temporary punishment as a warning before banning, but not a permanent position for people that are not Catholic. I think that the title could be given in a much gentler way than a big warning exclamation point, but again, what I think is of no consequence. At the end of the day, Dust owns the site, and Dust will run it as he pleases. I am grateful for phatmass, I think Dust does a good job, and I am even more grateful that I don't have to make decisions about what to do about members who are not Catholic, lapsed Catholic, lukewarm Catholic, On fire Catholic or any other range of possibilities.

Autumn Dusk Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' post='1624050' date='Aug 11 2008, 12:42 PM']If you depart from the Church you can get the tag even if you don't specifically diss the pope. I didn't read all of what you said when you were mad, but (from what I have gathered from things you've said since then) you did say things contrary to Church teaching. Thats enough to get the tag.[/quote] I DID NOT! Don't put words in my mouth. While I may have been uncharitable and annoying I DID NOT speak out against the catholic church in any shape or form.

In fact, without God, we'd be little more than a club with some silly gestures and rituals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd say this quote is pretty against Church teaching: [quote name='Autumn Dusk' post='1574059' date='Jun 17 2008, 04:12 PM']meh...heaven is made up...so anyone you want could be there.[/quote] The ensuing posts by you are pretty against teaching too.

johnnydigit Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 i thought we chose those group names ourselves or something, and so i thought the person flat out didn't agree with the Church. now that i learn it's the mods putting on these labels, it sounds even more phishy. is there specific criteria for this? if not, it sounds discriminatory and i think should be taken off.. "labels! can't we all just love Jesus? that's what i don't like about organized religion!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 As stated before, it's so people coming to learn about the faith aren't confused by people who they think represent the teachings of the Church (it's primarily to delinate those who aren't faithful to the magistrate but claim to be Catholic...like the sedevacantists, SSPXers, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
