My issue is that it was said by a moderator who is supposed to conduct himself with more decency. It seemed like too much if any regular member said it, but very unprofessional considering the leadership position the poster is in.

Personally, I take little offense at words. I take much more offense at deeds. Also, I figure God has a terrific and a little bit sick sense of humor. She'd have to. I am amazed at some posters who decry "censorship" yet advocate censoring. Maybe what they neeed is a site where they are in charge and can control others to their heart's content. Can you imagine that? OMFG! |

Steve:
That is demonstrably false in this case. No one is asking any of the offended crowd not to post their offense. While, on the other hand those offended are asking for the offending post not to be posted. So, who is being intolerant? Not me. I don't give F if anyone posts OMFG or posts how they are offended by OMFG. Neither offends me. Last edited by MrUmpire; Sun May 24, 2009 at 08:11pm. |

Tolerance does not involve forcing your beliefs on others, which is precisely what the religious right attempts to do and does on a daily basis. You tell me where the religious right has beliefs forced upon it. |

There is a reason it's called "The Right." I don't see anyone shoving any beliefs down anyone's throat here. We just object to people using the Lord's name in vain. By the way, the Bible instructs us to share the Gospel (good news of Jesus Christ) with everyone (that includes you), and to take it to every nation on Earth. That has now been accomplished for the first time in history, which is a clear sign of the last days. Believe, don't believe, whatever. Just because you don't believe something doesn't make it untrue.

Oh, I have a pretty good idea you don't believe what I believe, so just leave it at that.
There were many prophecies that were not fulfilled in 70 A.D. They have only been recently fulfilled in our lifetime. Read the Book.

I have, maybe more than you. The prophecies are not able to be recognizably fulfillable.

I've been staying away from this thread for a couple of days, just to see where it went.
Let me say this: 1) My "Orderly Mind, Friendly Gentleman" meaning for OMFG was meant as a joke. I thought it was obvious enough not to need a smiley. 2) It's okay that some are offended by some of the meanings (and perhaps the most common meaning) of OMFG. I, too, am offended by that, depending on the social norms. (I wouldn't say it, or expect to hear it, at church, for example.) (And, to be clear, my use of the word "church" is not meant to be offensive to those who attentd attend any other type of building (e.g., temple) for religious ceremonies, or those who do not attend, or those who attend sometimes, or those who attend, but not in a building.) The social norms here are, I think, less-restrictive on cussing and the specific applicability of the third commandment. 3) Truthfully, I didn't ascribe any particular meaning to the acronym other than the general, non-literal meaning, "I don't see how this can be so confusing." Heck, had I posted that, some would complain that I was being demeaning to whoever asked the question. Maybe that "attitude" is why I'm not a teacher. So, choose it to mean whatever you want to be non-offfensive (or to be offensive, it that's your pleasure) 4) I don't like to have the last word and then close a thread, so I'll leave this open a while more. But, if the posts continue in the current vein, it will be closed. |
