If you had him on ignore, how was he bothering you?

He infested and derailed threads and if someone quoted him then those posts could be seen.

Ig that makes sense

My dad at least agrees, however he has two posts on here and can hardly be considered a big member

I'm honestly glad he's gone. I hope someone helps him see he was wrong and that he gets saved but I honestly hate a that someone who hates christianity loves christian music. These christian bands are doing this to spread the word of god and get people saved.

Yes, but how are they going to spread the word and and get people saved if the only people who hear them are already Christian...

The thing is he heard the truth many times, and continually chose to ridicule the truth and its followers, despite so many warnings over time to be respectful. I too wish it didn’t end that way, but sometimes all you can do is shake the Dust from your sandals and move on, while continuing to pray God does what we couldn’t

This. It’s also not helpful to Dust to keep giving him opportunities to blaspheme. The Bible is clear that the more light one has and then rejects, the worse off they will be in the judgment. “To whom much is given, much is required.”

There’s also nothing wrong with enforcing rules on a voluntary forum so that the majority can enjoy themselves.

I know he got pretty heated and disrespectful toward you, so I see why you would be glad he’s gone… 

But he’s never really gone after me too much. At least nothing blatantly insulting. I got along with him for the most part. I only know he was pretty clear that he didn’t share my views on Christianity and God. We agreed on music (most of the time).

If only he stayed out of the theology section and just talked about politics and music… 

His temptation to fight was too strong. I wish there was a way the moderators could have restricted his access to the theology area. But then he still might bring it up in the other threads. 

I guess it’s for the best he stepped away.

Reactions to his ban seem to be based largely on how well the person got along with him. I haven't been saying much because I know that at the end of the day, banning him was probably the right move, though I wouldn't have done it myself. I'm sure you noticed I tended to be his biggest defender. Which is kinda strange considering how judgemental and hateful I can be at times, but idk.

I haven’t seen you be hateful. 

Was that a typo?

I wouldn’t consider myself to be his defender, but I didn’t have a big problem with him like others… 

I did say a few things that could be considered rude about him here and there… like when I assumed he might be bipolar. But he didn’t get mad or even care.

It’s kinda ironic that his username was Dustofyears and some people thought he was Ian Arkley. Now both he and Ian are gone.

I'm less talking about here, or even in general interactions. I just have a tendency to judge people pretty harshly over certain points, especially abortion (which Dust doesn't like either, so maybe that's part of it lol). I try not to show it too much as I'm not proud of it. There are a couple times it's came out though, such as my comment about Kim-Jong Un near the bottom of the 38th page in this thread https://thecmr.forumotion.com/t12255p950-the-high-profile-person-recently-died-thread and some other time I said that killing Euronymous was the one good thing Varg Vikernes did. I also posted about that in the Prayer Request section.

Wait, are you ok with abortion or not?

It's one of the things I hate the most in the world. People who support it are the thing that bring out my hatefulness the most.

Ok ok. The way you phrased it, it sounded like Dust was against it and you're ok with it. I'm very happy you're not.

Yeah I was guessing it was a phrasing problem lol. I actually have several songs against it in my 36 album discography.

Abortion is one of the most mind-bogglingly heinous evils the world has ever seen.

And our country alone has 10s of millions of women and their beta quasi-men who care about nothing else.

I actually think abortion is simply the "rebellion du jour." The left will always find some pet evil to rally around and pretend is the end of the world as long as it goes against Conservatives and Christianity.

Most people in the west worship the god of Self. Abortion is simply one of many sacrifices offered at the altar of this idol, sacrificing your children because you believe they would somehow hinder the freedom of the almighty Self

And on the political side, just about as bad as the leftists are the “conservatives” who keep waffling and compromising on issues like abortion, because they’re afraid of losing votes. They just keep slowly but surely inching leftward with the culture, like they already did with LGBT issues, to where they’re no better than leftists from 20 years ago.

Any false idol is just Satan wearing a mask. Some people think "I'm not a christian but I don't worship Satan" and it's false. The Lord or The Devil, no in between.

You gotta write music some day seth

Well the Devil is perfectly fine with people worshipping the god of Self. After all, that’s what his first temptation of Eve was based on. “You can be like God.” As long as the road leads to hell, the devil is fine with people walking down it

Yeah. I'm just saying you either worship the one true God or the devil. People may think their just looking out for themselves but they ain't.
