CJ Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Well, actually, it isn't but I couldn't think of a thread title that would fit into what I wanted to say. I noticed that a thread started by Morpheus here has been locked with the warning that he should stop evangelising. So, my question is, when does an opinion on a current issue become evangelising? I can well understand that people may find his opinion "off the wall" and completely disagree with it but to close down a thread that (to me at least) seemed a sensible topic to debate seems fairly harsh. How many others on the forum could be accused of evangelising too? I can think of one straight away but because he seems to only spout about Bill Gates and the wonderful MS Corp then that must be acceptable? Now, this isn't an attempt to "have a go" at any of the mods but more an open question of what topics are OK to discuss / debate and what is taboo.

Animal Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I think its more the case of he's been posting quite a lot of these in various threads recently and they're getting a bit long in the tooth. That, and we've all been brainwashed by the man, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 No prob CJ, I'm happy to field the question.... Healthy debate is welcomed here as you know from over the years, in fact I'll even point out our friend Edlinuxv8 (who isn't actually a bad chap ), happy to debate a point even if it is from a skewed angle some times... However when there is a blind debate with absolutely no understanding of an alternative viewpoint it just gets to the point where it is 'evangelizing' and is merely done to provoke the same response over and over there is little point in it taking place...Edlin is actually a knowledgeable lad in the industry just needs to broaden up a bit That said... The gaffer in charge locked a previous thread and said enough was enough, so have to go with the boss (Which I do agree with) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Which part winds you up H? The amount of threads or the topic(s) covered? A bit of both. To be honest, this is probably a personal dislike of a particular member based on the number of threads and the endless spouting on about the same shit. I find the Steven Hawking avatar offensive and if I wanted to read up about conspiracy theories and the media etc I would go and find it on the internet. Besides that, I think he's great..!! H.

CJ Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 I ask as the last main thread on the topic of conspiracy was started by me in the hope of finding alternative views and rebuttals to the conspiracy theories - if you see what I mean. I tend to be of the opinion that if I really disagree with an opinion of another member I can do one of two things. Either choose to ignore that post / opinion or ignore him / her completely. Several have fallen into the latter category lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
