Strike 5,367 Posted October 31, 2024 Probably because God hates charlatans and sent Mike a message saying as much. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technically yes, but relative to many other forums/message boards/newspaper comment sections, etc, this place is like the wild wild West when it comes to freedom of speech/censorship. I looked at the last page of the thread in question, & can't see why it was locked either ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing it was seen as useless? One guy talking to himself on this website for how long now? Is that really something that draws interest from advertisers? Or draws people to want to engage in the topic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know what the guidelines are here with posting religious content. Maybe it violated a rule? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I bet it's just bad for business in one way or another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,691 Posted October 31, 2024 @weepaws, I know I give you a hard time about... well, most things. But I completely disagree with locking your Bible thread. It has always reminded me of a story my uncle once told me about being a traveling salesman, probably in the 1950s or so. He cycled his car through the midwest every month visiting customers and prospects. One prospect used a competitive product and was happy with it, but he was willing to meet my uncle. My uncle scheduled the visit on every trip just to touch base, knowing full well that the guy was not likely to buy. Then one day, my uncle showed up, and the prospect said, "my supplier totally screwed me over, want a shot at my business?" And so began a new customer. I respect your willingness to continue posting in your Bible thread, despite seemingly no interest from anyone here. But maybe, one day, a poster might feel screwed over by what life has dealt him, and he'd give you a shot at his business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
