Trolls

Dear Trolls,

Some have suggested that I allow TBM trolls to be un-moderated so they can show their "Christ-like love" and help prove that the church does not exclusively produce nice, happy people. But I'd rather just send trolls to the dungeon where they belong. A troll generally has one purpose: to harass me and attack me personally until I shut down the blog. Not going to happen.

So, if you're obnoxious you will be banned (often without warning). In fact, your fellow commenters can ban you. It only takes 5 votes for my readers to ban a troll. Once you're banned I'll add you to the dungeon list below. Ban worthy behavior includes, but is not limited to:
  • Personal attacks/insults
  • Really, really fallacious logic (because it pisses me off, and if you can't take the time to make sure your arguments are sound then you don't deserve my time)
  • Spamming (because everybody hates spam)
  • Testimonies (I use my brain, not warm fuzzies and ask that you do the same)
More examples can be found here.
