Finally, I wanted to say a quick goodbye to you all! (moved)

feralpilot0 said:Hey Rebecca Rivera2, when are you actually getting started or is this just going to be another endless chat topic? 😁

Well, I wanted to send some good vibes your way too—all the best to you.
(Though, let's be honest, I suspect you’ve probably already checked in...)

Bryan Jones89 said:I haven't stepped into this "fight" for my own sake; I’m doing it for the other members here—the ones who were posting back when I was nothing more than an occasional reader.
It seems to me that your primary concern always boils down to whether something feels personal. It seems like you might have sent a partial message or perhaps just a quick greeting! I’m here and ready to dive into whatever topic you have in mind. Whether you want to unpack a complex idea, walk through a detailed comparison, or just have a thoughtful conversation, I am all ears. What's on your mind? If someone stepped on your toes, then you’ve got every right to feel slighted—but if they didn't, then you're essentially good to go. Personally, though, I tend to look at things through a slightly different lens.

Beyond that, I’ve come to realize that those who truly grasp what I'm getting at will never be part of some organized movement. Even among the people I feel closest to, there isn't any single religious or even atheist group they belong to. You find them scattered everywhere—among Christians, agnostics, atheists, Muslims, Buddhists, you name it. They exist within all these frameworks, but they always seem to occupy the periphery, living life on the sidelines of the mainstream organizations.

The self-proclaimed "devout Catholics" and...dioIn the end, those who lack direction will always find themselves coming to an agreement regarding how to divvy up their resources—whether we're talking about digital assets or tangible, physical goods. It’s almost like watching a group of people without a map eventually stumbling upon the same crossroads; they might not have a plan, but they'll inevitably settle on a way to split the spoils. 😉

I really don't want to resort to any harsh language here, but I can say with absolute certainty that I wouldn't want someone like you, Eminem, or Ego managing me in a professional capacity. Thank God that isn't the case! 🙂

I truly wish you nothing but the absolute best—the same heartfelt blessings I would extend to any fellow human being. May your life be filled with abundant health and genuine happiness.

PS
To be perfectly honest, your recent post on the community forum was the final nudge I needed to finally decide to stop writing on this PDF.
Please, let's leave things here. We've already said our goodbyes and laid everything out on the table, so there's really no need to continue this conversation.

I truly believe that your time hasn't come just yet.
I have to say, I actually laughed out loud at that one. You really have a knack for hitting the nail right on the head exactly when it counts.
I honestly feel like Angelica isn't even rooting for herself with the way she writes. It’s just suffocating, man.😁

Bryan Jones89 said:Look, they didn't actually reduce my penalty, but my whole issue wasn't even about the fine itself—it was about being punished for "protesting" in the first place. Once I realized that only Enky and a handful of others actually get what I'm talking about, I figured there was no point in dragging it out, since I can't really change anything on my own anyway.
And just to be clear, I haven't been out here picking fights with atheists at all. If I've got my facts straight, Enky isn't religious, and Apemant—who's honestly one of my favorite people on this board—is an atheist. So, whatever it was I was pushing back against, it definitely wasn't atheism. Not by a long shot.

You've gotta define it, though—what exactly are you fighting for? What’s the actual end goal here?
You can't just go around trying to oust a moderator on a forum like this.
I'm aiming for better standards and more fair moderation toward Christians, so I genuinely believe this struggle will actually pay off in the end.
That whole thing about having a Christian moderator... that story is far from over.
Or is it something else entirely?

Chris Lopez59 said:You really have to define what you're actually fighting for—what was the actual, concrete objective behind the struggle?

Those who get it, get it. And believe me, there are plenty of them out there.
Best regards, all the best!

Bryan Jones89 said:If you get it, you get it. And believe me, there are plenty of people out there who do.
Warm regards and all the best!

Honestly, am I really going to have to hunt you down across every thread on this forum?😁
Listen, I’ve officially declared war on Eminem😛 just to make sure he doesn't have any sudden urges to convert to Christianity.😁
We already have more than enough people around here😂 who just go through the motions of faith without actually believing it.
So, what do you say? Are you going to join my side?

Lisa Ortiz2 said:Look, am I really going to have to hunt you down all over this forum?😁
Listen, I’ve officially declared war on Eminem😛 just to make sure he doesn't consider converting to Christianity before it's too late.😁
We already have plenty of our own people... the ones who just rewrite their faith whenever it suits them.😂
Are you going to join the fight?

No. Eminem is essentially just the one tasked with doing the heavy lifting—the "grunt work," if you will. He might not even realize the damage he’s doing to his own convictions, to Christian faith, or even to those atheists who aren't dictators but end up serving the interests of those who are.

He might not even realize the damage he’s causing to his own faith—or even to non-believers who aren't trying to be dictators—by simply serving the interests of those who actually hold the power.

I'll handle it myself.🙂
He just doesn't see it.

Bryan Jones89 said:If you get it, you get it. And trust me, there are plenty of people who do.
Best, hope all is well!

You're out here complaining about not getting enough support, yet you won't even lay it out clearly and tell us what the hell you're actually fighting for?

Look, I guess I didn't "get it," if that's even possible. Why? Because honestly, I don't have the mental energy to wade through miles of rambling threads every single day. That doesn't mean I'm against helping or offering my support, it just means I need to know what the actual goal is before I dive in.

I don't know, man... I've been hanging out on various international forums for years now—German ones, Irish ones, even some American boards. The topics vary wildly, everything from global politics to niche mailing lists about dog laws...

And honestly? This forum is easily one of the most poorly moderated places on the web. Most of the mods here seem totally unqualified for the job. They often don't even understand the threads they're policing, so they just make up for it by acting arrogant and entitled. It’s basically just them feeding their Ego at the expense of everyone else. Even when they're talking nonsense, they have to be right, otherwise you either get a warning or a straight-up ban. It's pretty much how the US government and our legal system operate. 🤣🤣

You can see it in the discussions across the whole site, too. There's zero actual substance or high-quality debate happening. But I guess that shouldn't be a surprise. Like they say, the fish stinks from the head down.

Plus, there isn't even a way for users to rate the moderators. Given the way things work around here, I guess it makes sense, but it would be a great way to shake things up if they actually let us give feedback.

So yeah, all things considered, it's definitely not the premier American forum we're told it is. 👎

Bryan Jones89 said:I didn't jump into this whole fight for my own sake. Honestly, I'm doing it for the other people on these forums—the ones who were posting here back when I was just someone who would drop in to read every once in a while.
All you care about is whether it’s personal. you If someone stepped on your toes, then yeah, whatever. You’re fine. But I see things a little differently.

Besides that, I’ve come to realize that the people who actually get what I’m talking about—they aren't going to be organized. The ones I feel a connection with don't belong to any specific religious group or even an atheist organization. They’re scattered everywhere... among Christians, agnostics, atheists, Muslims, Buddhists... they exist in all those circles, but they’re always just living in the background.

"The big-time Catholics" and...I don't really know how to start this. It’s just... I’m feeling a bit stuck. Trying to find the right words, but everything feels a little off today. Just one of those days, I guess.In the end, the "nobodies" always find a way to reach an agreement on how to divvy up resources—whether we're talking about digital assets or the actual, physical stuff. 😉

I don't want to be rude or anything, but I really wouldn't want someone like you, Eminem, or Ego being my boss in real life. Thank God that’s not the case. 🙂

I can only wish you the same things I’d wish for anyone else. I truly hope you find good health and happiness.

PS
To be honest, your post on the forum was the final push I needed to finally decide to stop writing on this PDF.
Please don't reply to me anymore. We've already said our goodbyes and we've both made our points clear.

_

Yeah, I see where you're coming from. Honestly, I’m going to give you an answer regardless of what you just said.
I actually asked you not to reply. I just wanted to clarify my intentions behind this post and say hello.
She was being honest with you. Everything you think you know and everything you're saying right now... it’s all just coming from your own biases.
That's honestly YOUR problem to deal with, and you really need to get a handle on it, especially now.
Time will tell if you actually leave. Because honestly, you just can't get someone out of your system like that... once they're under your skin.
I hope you don't end up being the one who answers. Honestly, isn't that exactly what you're fighting for, Rebecca Rivera2? 😉

You just don't get what matters most to me. Especially when you start talking about having "fought the fight."
It’s always about everyone else. But when you don't even care that your Ego just got stepped on... then what's the point? Why even bother?
Was he really writing that much just to get punished like that? 😁 Hey Rebecca Rivera2, look, I'm not exactly a toddler like some of the others here.
Looking at this PDF, it’s pretty easy to figure out what 2+2 equals. 🤣

I don't really fit into any of those "devout Catholic" cliques. To me, there’s no such thing as being a "great" or "small" believer. It just is what it is.
It’s only those who truly love God and their fellow man.

Nothing feels right to me at this moment. I just don't want any of it. 😉 Because you just don't want him.
Primarily for oneself.
Look, regardless of how this plays out or what you decide to throw my way, I’m just handing it all over to God.
He'll know exactly what you need better than anyone else. Just let him handle it.

P.S. Angelic, you’re leaving because of me enrolling? I honestly had no idea I was having that kind of effect. 🙄
I really should have said this sooner—you need to take some time to find yourself first. You have to figure out who you actually are and what you stand for before anything else.
Yeah, and only then do you actually say something—and it’s always an accusation. If you had just taken a second to THINK first, we wouldn't be here.
I mean, you couldn't even send me a decent DM two days ago, but now suddenly you're just spewing garbage? Something's off.
It is what it is, I guess. My answers stay pretty much the same, whether I'm sending a private message or posting publicly.
You didn't actually hit a nerve with me—no matter what that "background noise" might suggest. Honestly? You just ended up exposing yourself.
It's just like those people who end up exposing themselves while they claim to be "fighting for their goals." Anyway, hi Rebecca Rivera2. 😁

Edit: And you, Lisa Ortiz2, you’re out here posting about your private little wars with people who actually agree with you. I don't recall
ever talking to you in the DMs, other than you being insulting and provocative. Who decides who is "crushing" whom, or whose
faith is valid, or who is just copying someone else's beliefs? That isn't your call to make, and it isn't anyone else's either. You're honestly becoming tedious.
As for acting like you own the place—I already told you that in my very first post on that "Christianity (Sadness)" thread. Your
first reply to me was just rude and uncultured. Don't try to lecture me on how to speak; just back off.
You aren't some superstar. God is the star. Or should we start putting up stars for
"celebrities" on our religious forums, like they do on the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles? Leave me alone. Save those sales pitches for someone else. I'm staying out of your way, so
STAY OUT OF MINE. ☕ 😁

Hey there.
