Ah, you mean trying to keep the peace and not allowing people ONLY here to spam up the site with their non-Christian agenda or constantly and unnecessarily stirring up controversies to seed arguments? Guilty as charged!LittleHamster: too controlling over forum members?
Well, mods are people too, right?Little Hamster: ... aggressively arguing their version of truth ?
Well pointed out Phillip.

Well, mods are people too, right?Little Hamster: ... aggressively arguing their version of truth ?No, we're not by any means perfect - we've all made mistakes. But we all have strong opinions and unique insights, just like everyone else does. But if you're paying attention, we mods don't always agree on every point of theology, politics, creation-related issues, etc. The ONLY thing we agree on is that God's inspired His Word to His prophets and apostles, and that it is true (that is, SOMEHOW - as we don't always understand exactly how it went down). And we certainly are quite tolerant of opposing viewpoints - even agnostic and atheist ones - AS LONG AS people are civil, polite, and not here merely to constantly spew their anti-Christian / anti-Bible agenda. Troublemakers won't last long around here. But those civil, no matter if they disagree with our contentions and beliefs, are certainly welcome here. Without us, the site would just be one more internet forum of nastiness, rancor and ill will.
