Hi folks,
This is my first post. But i only dropped by for these few comments.

I quit participating after the board was taken over by Gene, the proselytizing atheist.

Why cant i get away from this guy ? I've posted at a variety of messageboards ( too much time on my hands ) But i've never seen anything quite like this.

He and the former owner of the board used to get into religious flame wars. After the former owner was booted out and the new owner put Gene in charge as board monitor and Gene continued his (now one-sided) religous (or in his case, anti-religous) rantings, I quit going there.

And they still continue on the Not Softball Board - which was explained to me by the owner David as not a part of the Fastpitch Forum. But really is as Gene is inviting people from the FPF to the Not Softball board.

He would rant, and then in a day or two, his rants would be deleted, but it seemed that anyone who engaged him in these religious postings (I never did) would mysteriously commit some violation of board policy a day or two later and be banned.

And yes, i was one of those people who decided enough was enough and called him out on his posts. Unfortunately i didn't get very far and was deleted within a couple of hours. A bunch of posts were deleted on the thread and that was that.
Which brings me back to my first question - Why cant i get away from this guy ?

My main argument was with Gene's religion or lack thereof. Politics..hey we all have our differences. Spitting in GW's face isn't something i would recommend of course, but the constant attack on Christianity bothers me. The Born Again Basta-rd stuff bothers me, Christianity is not without it's problems, but can we discuss it like adults ? Not unless you want to get deleted i guess. Bottom line i think the guy has some serious issues and it's astonishing that he's actually a forum leader.

Ok .. that's it !! This is a great website and it looks like a terrific, active forum.
Thanks
