Welcomegreenspun.com : LUSENET : Beyond the Sidewalks : One Thread |
Welcome to Beyond the Sidewalks.I've noticed lately that the Countryside forum is becoming more and more a haven for far-right fundamentalist Christians. It seems that moderate Christians, Pagans, liberals, environmentalists and others with differing viewpoints from the fundamentalists haven't been posting quite as much lately.
In creating this forum I wanted a place that would be more welcoming to those who might have a differnt view of life and are tired of constantly battling with the fundamentalists.
The only rules I have at this time are: no porn, no spam, and no proselytizing or witnessing. If you violate any of the above rules you will be asked to stop. If you continue to harass the forum your posts will be deleted and your ISP will also be contacted.
Other than that this forum is pretty much like the Countryside forum. Feel free to talk about whatever suits your fancy. :-)

Sheepish, I like your email addy!I think this will be a good forum, but I don't intend to give up on CS entirely. After all, that's how we all "found" each other. ;-)

Sheepish? Joy? It's comforting to see these familiar names as I quietly tiptoe in to look around.

Yeah, I finally broke down and got a hotmail account. Not sure how long I will be keeping the old ISP as it is really awful and I have just been too busy to deal with getting a new one. Anyone have any good recommendations for an ISP?

Thought it was time to get this one up near the top of the list again. We have people coming in who have "happened upon" the forum, and I thought it would be nice for them to be forwarned about the "rules"! And I decided all that without consulting Jim -- running away now . . . . . (sorry Jim!)

Good for you, Joy, and thanks. I'm glad you took the initiative on this so DON'T apologize (or run away).

I wasn't very sorry, really, Jim, just trying to be polite! ;-)

Hey Jim.How come you went and left me post porn without warning me? Suckered me right in again,didn't you? You are evil! Well,I'll remember it....I have a veeeerrrryyy loooonnnggg memory. Not particularly clear but long! And I WILL retaliate,when you least expect it, naturally.
And here I had some really good ones all ready to go,too, on southern belles, and,naturally, fishing! Oh well.
And,yes,I am laughing.
