The Rules:
Do not discrimate against any member due to their religious beliefs.
Do not discrimate anyone's religion
Do not post poems that bash other religions or religious leaders
If a poem is too controversial for this board, then place it in the Uncensored board. If you do not have the password, then request it from a member of administration.
Do not argue or debate over spiritual points of view
Do not impose religious beliefs upon other members
If you wish to make an attempt of conversion, please do so off the boards.

So what are "your" beliefs?
What are "your" opinions?
Is this what you mean? Bcause that's how it looks...
Just wondering, so I can post and not have to worry about pissing "you" off.

i dont think he is trying to say not to offend him and his beliefs. the rules were pretty clear, i think. and it all really comes down to one thing, which should be in any forum really, dont post something that will offend someone.

Kemleth, its common sense really on this forum, in particular profanity bad Language, Rubberising others Beliefs, on any of the forums the above and just plainly going too far, even in adult making the content vile and unreadable causing the internet server to intervene.
I will lock such posts put on a notice and inform TJ and john, or delete if too bad.
Richie.

Yes, richie I understand that profanity is something that doesn't belong in this type of forum.
I wasn't meaning for it to come out like I was challenging anyone. I was wondering who he was refering to when he stated "you". Being new to the forum I wasn't quite sure of things that might have happened before I arrived.
As far as content being vile... I haven't written anything of the such. Of course I view the posts about sadism and maschistism (sp) as vile content.
I am asking for guidelines that might be made more clear. For instance, I'm not quite as smart as most people, and I apologize for any problems that might have lead to you reading my posts in a negative manner, so the term, "rubberizing other peoples beliefs"
Is a foriegn term that I am unfamiliar with. Please use more simple terms, I can't interpret the things you post in the way you mean for them to be interpreted, For we both have significantly different beliefs and backgrounds.
As far as going too far... What does that entail? You speak in broad strokes and I can't possibly fathom at what you are trying to get at.
As far as that poem I posted that you locked, I only want to respond to what you posted.
If in anyway that was read as me being rude I do apologize. I do speak frankly, and that I won't be sorry for, and that can sometimes be interpreted as rude. I do understand that there are other people on this board that post. That's fine, if you post to all those and don't have time to fill my request no problem, as I mentioned in my post, thats perfectly fine. Don't post.
Also I don't believe I asked for any critiques on that poem. I believe that I asked for comments to what the poem made you think, feel, and what you disagreed with.
I respect you for challenging me. I do have further questions to ask and I look forward to further replies from you.

One more thing.
What you do with my poems is your perrogitive.
But are you going to be screening all of my posts now?
If yes I would like to speak to you on this subject.
Please message me here at the forum. Thank you for the time you spent reading all fo this.

Kemleth, I really don't wish to get into this here you can send me or john or TJ or any mod a message any time.
I will say I personally don't dislike you, I can see in your work talent and very good word sense ie. a true sense of place-imagery in some of your poems I don't know how old you are but if young I think you will go far in poetry. Having said that some of the poems you write I feel go too far the one I locked was because people taking there time to read and reply in there own way were given back sarcastic remarks by you. the thing I meant regarding the critique forum is puting poems there you will get a more in-depth critique. The above rules made by john and TJ meen if you post here [or anywere] and I see by the thread you left in the open discussion that you are a "Satanist" your post -poem should not abuse other religion's or peoples beliefs.
I will not abuse your belief so don't abuse mine its just commen sense Kemleth, also while I'm talking here and as I have noticed you say you are a Satanist I am going to cheque a poem you put in the song forum. Last I am not picking on you I want you to stay here but you must abide by the rules, when I say the internet server john and TJ are responcible for this site and the contents,
Richie.

But, if you do not then why bring it up? This entire thing has gotten way out of hand and I am sick and tired of it. I'm not going to allow stupid points push away a member of the site of our staff. We're friends here and that's the way it's supposed to be. As for fighting it will stop. No more public arguments about any subject will be permitted and those who wish to bring private quarrels public will in time answer to me. I hope everyone get's a good look at this. I mean what I say and that's the end of it.

It looks like the issue is cleared up though with Kemleth, we have the new Uncensored board now. And Kemleth and his wife are posting, so it appears to be resolved. But the rules are right, no one should be discriminated against because of their beliefs, I'll stand for that any day.
