Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Doc.. i am so pleased that you wrote this post. agree with you whole heartedly. it is sometimes difficult to know where to lay the line of being spammed and someone really trying to stop some of the hate bashing. you are right, a bit of patience and tolerance of others whether we understand or not is a welcome relief from the media and the usuall negative slurrs. love.. granny lee Doc Shillington <docshillington wrote: UN-TOAST!!! Dear Suzi et al, I have NEVER banned a person for posting an article or a piece on their religion. NEVER!!! I have always quietly looked the other way when this has happened, and have never done anything other than a gentle "correction" (on list) of the person, and then quietly placed them on Full Moderation so it doesn't happen again!!! Yes, it is in the files as being OT (off topic). Yes, it WAS a banning offense if the guilty one was a repeated offender, but I've just never done this. I've always practiced "tolerance" in this area. Always!!! Many people have signed their name with a Christian "blurb" on the end of it. Wiccans have done the same with their "Blessed Be's", and those who are into Mysticism have also added their "special words". Many, many others have done similar things. I've always, and deliberately looked the other way with these "additions". It is about time that the entire world practiced tolerance. It is up to us and other groups like ours to lead the way here. Right now, there are enough nuclear weapons on earth to fry every man, woman, and child about 50 times over. Even the cockroaches wouldn't survive if they were all set off. I've never explained it quite this way before, but it's about time we started focusing on "LOVE" and tolerance for our fellow man. There is way too much "Hate" in the world. Way too much! As a species, we need to grow up!!! Right now at this time, there is a tremendous amount of "Religion Bashing" happening with Islam. The PR firms and the media are in a frenzy of stereotyping all Moslems as being demons and agents of the Devil, etc. Sheesh!!! What a pile of crap!!! All this does is foster hate, and is nothing more than an attempt to keep the pot stirred for the supposed gain of vested interest groups. Why fall for this ruse??? As of right now, the policy (Sex, Religion, & Politics) is changed. Where it stated the person was "Banned" for violations of this policy, the new revision states that they will be put on "Moderation" and any of their posts which violate the above will simply be deleted and not allowed to be sent to the list. One and all should get the idea with this approach. When list members see a violation, please be tolerant and assured that a moderator will handle it as above. Please do not contribute to the "hate" by adding in snide comments!!! These are not appreciated, and ARE an instant banning offense under "Religion Bashing" in the General List Policies. This list is multi national and multi denominational with members from all over the world. As far as I am aware, every ethnic culture is represented on Herbal Remedies. All members of every faith, race, creed, and ethnic origin, are welcome and appreciated here. I love and respect the lot of you!!! With deepest regards, Love...
