You know, a person can get awfully sick and tired of seeing jackasses come into threads where people talk about life after death, ghosts, UFOs and so forth for the sole purpose of insulting those who either simply believe or believe due to personal experiences.

If you don't agree with these people, then don't waste valuable time and bandwidth by going into these threads.

It's not rocket science.

And, yes, I consider posts like yours to be insulting and abusive, regardless of whether it is direct or indirect. That's why I pinged the mod.

For the record, I believe in ghosts because I lived in a haunted house. For six years.

And I challenge you guys to come to the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, LA for a weekend. Let's see how well you'd fare.

Pinging the mod seems extreme, feel free to do what you feel you must. When I post pro-NASA stories I get many people that attack NASA as a waste of money and say, well terrible things honestly, I have heard it all. However, I am grateful for the opportunity to make my case to someone again. It is a gift to have a new avenue to explore in making my case to someone new like these forums. I would never bring in a moderator unless vulger language or threats were made. I truly wish you the best.

You really need to get a grip. I didn't insult anyone. My post was not insulting either. Calm down and try to be civil.

Actually, I read xJones' and Names Ash Housewares, and they seemed to be in good taste and not unlike what one would expect to find on any other thread. There are always pro and con posts. Bugging an Admin Mod over this is really just wasting everyone's time.

In fact, the only one who has broken any rule seems to be Houmatt who called us all "Jackasses".

Now that's not very nice at all.
I have disagreed with many a FReeper, but have refrained from name-calling. The argumentum ad-hominem is not a way to convince people of your righteousness.

Calm down, nobody is insulting you just because you believe in ghosts, or vampires, or that martians are invading Earth. It is just that most of us do not believe that. Oh, by the way have you seen Elvis lately?
