Obviously, the agenda is to control the conversation and suppress the free exchange of ideas and opinions,
Not at all. It is simply required that you stay on topic. You have not at all attempted to express or exchanged any ideas or opinions of the topic matter, have you?
What you are whining about here is that I gavemy opinion, try to pay attention.
but how exactly are the kinds of questions that can be asked
But you haven't asked any questions have you?
Go back and read it again, slowly for comprehension this time. You will see that White Flame referenced two posters in his response to your whine, n8nrgim asked a question, and then I responded to the question, hence “the kinds of questions that can be asked and the kinds of answers that can be given”.
By the way, the full sentence that you extracted your quote from was “Obviously, the agenda is to control the conversation and suppress the free exchange of ideas and opinions, but how exactly are the kinds of questions that can be asked and the kinds of answers that can be given determined?” Note the punctuation mark at the end of that sentence, they call that a question mark, when you see one of those at the end of a sentence, that sentence is a question. So yes, I have asked a question, please try to pay attention.
I have even addressed something that you have raised with another member on this thread that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic but was kind enough to address you anyway. But then what did you do?, you ignored it and have now started a dispute with a moderator! <<<<<<
LOL, my my, how dramatic, "dispute" huh, try reading again, I asked for the moderator for clarification, but hey, calling it a dispute is much more dramatic, I’m sure you think that furthers your agenda somehow, and maybe it does, I still haven’t gotten the requested clarification as to how your game is played, I guess we’ll just have to see if "dispute" scores with the moderators.
My request for clarification is valid, I see you and Brother D constantly derailing threads, Critical Tim asked you again and again to stop turning his Buddhism thread into a bashing Christians thread and you simply ignored him, the moderators seem to be OK with you and Brother D derailing threads all day long. So I am trying to understand why the same posters who derail threads are allowed to determine what questions and answers are allowed in their own threads. The question is why is this applied so selectively, why is it you can control the conversation and pick what ideas and opinions are allowed, and Critical Tim cannot? Is it that certain agendas are protected, and others are not?
If I am expected to comply with the moderators wishes, I need to know how the moderators apply these “rules”, apparently, you can control conversations and Critical Tim can’t, it would help if the mods would tell us who the privileged posters are, or at least which agendas are protected, and which ones aren’t.
This is something you should have done in a PM as not to further derail this topic.
Neither you or themod used a PM, am I to understand that you make the rules about what can bediscussed AND how it can be discussed? How exactly do we get granted that authority?
Would you like to have another go Sidewalker ?
Here you are, note the underlined.:
Sidewalker wrote @n8nrgim: That's not it, it's way too personal and obsessive for that, this is about a person. There is a Christian he is deeply angry with but it's someone he is afraid to address directly.
If I am not constrained by C of C rules and I knew who you were referring to, I would most certainly address "directly" the "person" it is you have in mind but you appear far too afraid to mention, as I have all posters on this, my thread.
So when you're ready.
What exactly are you waiting for? n8nrgim asked a question, I answeredit, you whined about it, Whiteflame did what you wanted, the end…what am Isupposed to be getting ready for?
Since you get to control the conversation, you certainly needto be more specific about what the responses need to be.
