I believe you are right ... however, it does look blatant and heavy handed, and we know who is pulling the strings.
Perhaps though, you have the right idea in regards to utilizing the forum to keep in touch with friends and writing off the rest. Regardless, I will keep in contact with all of you here.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything you have stated. Rape is no joking matter and extremely hard to live with. The slogan should be changed to "We can't wait to watch you all burn in hell". As long as that can be stated freely and without consequence, they are endorsing it.
As for me, I have been a contributor for the last 6-7 years, and even paid the price for a lifetime membership. It's so nice to know it was not appreciated. Well that ends. I will no longer contribute monetarily when the outcome is being stalked and harassed.
Anyone who is honest and decent KNOWS what he is posting is unacceptable. It is what it is. He is a loose canyon with the sole purpose of destroying TOL. It may not happen immediately, but unless his antics are dealt with, the forum and general morale will continue to decline.
Prayers for Jack! I just got home from Church. I am hoping to keep a modicum of peace in my heart...at least for a time! But the Gadarene spirits just continue to run rampant on TOL and I must take up arms against them! Luckily I have me Irish temper to keep me going! Love to you and your family!
