    I'm not for a ban, too much to talk about re the church


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    No way. Never miss an opportunity to bash the bishop.

    Ah here, I'm sick of it. If it's not a recession thread it's one about a fiddling priest. Sick of it at this stage. (And yes Im fully aware I've kinda just started one, yes you're clever for figuring it out, move on.)

    We all know that some priests are well deserving of a trip to hell, but we dont need a million threads a day about it.

    What would Jesus do?

    I'M CLEVER!!!

    YAY!!

    Not really bothered, but hate to see anything banned from AH, well stuff thats actually acceptable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,239 ✭✭✭✭KeithAFC


    I think it is rather important the AH users discuss Catholic priests abusing young kids and then the pope covering it up. Perhaps that is just me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,822 ✭✭✭iPlop


    Ban the atheist threads too and you've got a deal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,029 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    No you.

    Ban OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,299 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    A megathread would do the trick. Could a mod edit the poll (if ye actually listen to those things when making such decisions)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,439 ✭✭✭Kevin Duffy


    Freedom of speech and freedom of reading - don't like, don't click, feel free to start better if you don't like what's there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,257 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    Church, government, banks, social welfare, health care, immigration/emigration

    What is left for AH?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,015 ✭✭✭CreepingDeath


    No.

    If people want to talk about it, vent their anger and opinions let them.
    The fact that the OP doesn't want to hear it, means they have unresolved issues with the subject.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,698 ✭✭✭tricky D


    It's very simple OP.

    You don't likey, don't clicky.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,915 ✭✭✭MungBean


    Someone should start a thread about banning threads started by people who want threads banned. That'll fix the problem.

    Sure if we all ignore it it will just go away...

    Where did I hear that before...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,626 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    I like the sound of Atari Pope.

    All hail Pope Pong I


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,053 ✭✭✭Aldebaran


    If only we weren't forced to click on every single thread that appears in AH... oh wait.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 273 ✭✭Tehachapi


    The church has silenced people for decades, not any more though. I think it would be an insult to the victims who suffered beatings, sexual assault, rape, psychological torture, etc at the hands of the church by banning discussion of the church on a huge media outlet such as boards.ie

    Surely the simplest solution would be to get the mods to ban everyone ?

    Then start banning each other.

    Last mod standing wins !

    Banned








    :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,326 ✭✭✭Scuid Mhór


    can we maybe just... perhaps have a stronger movement towards making happy, light-hearted threads?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Ban church related threads ? why stop there ...just ban all threads on any subject = No


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,299 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    I'll be honest - never thought of a megathread, with that in mind perhaps this particular thread was a little misjudged. Have requested it be locked.

    Ahh, hindsight. Good stuff so tis.
