I don't know any of the specifics on what was said between anyone involved previously and I don't care.
That said- if the atmosphere here bothers you, there's no reason you should have to adjust to an internet message board's culture just because they say so. There are other places where you will find yourself much more happy. This thread seems to show more than anything how this site fails. Personal attacks anyone?
-there's no reason to stay to have people try to brow-beat you into agreeing with them, that's no better than what they say you are doing!

Meh...I really have no opinion. Its your choice whether you stay or whether you go. I'm Messianic, and as such, my beliefs about certain things (including homosexuality) are very strong, but you just learn to look past it (although with Nabu, that's not always easy ) I guess it's waaay too hard for me to leave considering I've been here for soooo long. But come on, people, lets keep the attacks down. I don't care who said what...this is just getting ridiculous!

I'm no fan of homo-sexuality, really and I don't hide it.
But Nabusan is a friend of minel, he's the funniest guy I've ever known...almost every post he makes makes my lungs cramp up, he and I get along very well.
I don't agree that we should be posting anything against anyone personally, so I'm not surprised that you feel a little unwanted for whatever you had said.
Remember, you adapt to the environment, not the other way around.
I don't know you very well, and I would very much like to, but it's up to you in the end if you want to leave.

Well, I'm one of those people that is a little afraid to touch on the Kigo subject. However, I respect the people who likes the shipping, because real people do the same thing, too. I respect that. The keyword is respect. There is nothing wrong with you insulting the shipping (well, actuallly, there is) as long as you have the understanding of respecting the shipping (after you made the insult).

What a weird topic. I respect what you believe in, Shonna. But seriously, we here are quite open-minded in this bbs. Some threads are PG-13 for a reason. I am 29 years old myself, and I have my mind settled about religious issues. I always say this one thing: Everyone is free to think or do as they want, as long as they don't want to impose their believes or way of living to me (was it way of life or way of living? excuse my sometimes poor english knowledge).
Gay people, for instance. They can express their sexuality the way they prefer, as long as they don't want me to join, which I won't do. ^__^ It's not that I like slash pairings (some of them might be interesting from different points of view), but I can accept that some people like and love them.
BBSs are to discuss, not to argue. Most of the people here are great KP fans and nice people. That alone is the reason why I keep visitng and posting my opinions.
If you understand and accept this, dear Shonna, there is no reason for you to leave. If you don't want to stay because you think the posts and the people around here may corrupt chirstians, muslims, budists, etc... I guess I'll just say bye to you. It's been a pleasure to meet you, Shonna.

I have to admit, maybe I was a wee bit too harsh on Shonna. I'm sorry for that. If Nabusan is willing to forgive you, then I should be willing to forgive you as well. You're welcome to be here, just as long as you don't stuff your religion down my throat or anyone else's throat or insult things I care about.
But I shan't forget about the remark about Nabusan. I'll forgive you, but I shan't forget.

RS.net should be just as open to one person's viewpoints and lifestyles as anyone elses. Make no mistake that many things are being 'shoved down people's throats" here every day. As far as this place being open to anyone it's a bit hypocritical to say somoene is welcome as long as they choose to conform to the status quo, which changes a lot. The culture here is much different than it was 2 years ago.

I would say something... but I don't know how exactly to say it... I'll say it though...
Whether this is a place for Christians or not: I'm guessing orthodox Christians would consider a few things here "bad." Half of the things you'll find on the internet are bad though.
Your age: 14, eh? I turned 14 in January, and I've made friends with many people older than me... although I have annoyed Ashley a few times... sorry Ash.
Leave.... I guess. We can't control you.

You blitzed the "Ask Me" threads like the Luftwaffe on speed, yet you never asked me anything! I can never forgive you for this... Just kidding. Good luck on your journey towards salvation. Holy crap, how did I misspell "luck"!?

Statement: I have seen your posts and conflicted against them sometimes....but idid ot mean it to offend anyone.....don't blame me, blame my Master. I am not a meatbag....i am a HK-47 Assasin PRotocal Droid....a am not a fan of Homo-Sexuality...it is really not my buisness....but if a friend like Nabusan is, i do not mind....he is my MAster's friend, and mine.
Clarification: Personally i found you as nuteral....which is good in your case and my case. Don't worry, my nacoassination Skills are ment to only attack enemies. And you are not an enemy.....but if you did leave, i can not stop you.....NO one can stop you. As a wise old meatbag once said " All you have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to you.".
Apology: I am sorry....but i don't think that quote had anything to do with this subject.....LOL.
Gesture: If you DID leave......I will make sure that you are one of my allies out of fifty-six.

Don't leave Shonna! You aren't alone in your battle here on rs.net! You do have fellow Christians on here who can help and support you in your fight against evil. Even though I don't spend much time on rs.net, as long as you are standing on what the Bible says you will have my support and allegiance.

Question for sleepyferret and Baroque:
Just how much is a person allowed to defend her beliefs before you get offended and rude?

I nominate you as our team captain, Baroque! And the G erman guy is the leader...so discriminating. Question for sleepyferret and Baroque: Just how much is a person allowed to defend her beliefs before you get offended and rude? Hm...I'm not really offended, more...slightly amused and surprised. And contemplative. Nervous...bored, sad. But not offended. By that. Was I rude, I don't remember? If I hear someone saying, that homosexuals/homosexuality is the great evil...well, it seems that there are huge differences between European/G erman methods of bringing up a child and the American methods.

Get over it Baroque! Stalin took more lives. So I could say "And the Russian guy is the leader", and it would be even more (not) discriminating.
