    Troll. On the soccer forum at least, and his previous accounts on the horseracing forum - only 99% sure he is finnpark tho.

    The mods did warn about profanity early this morning.

    http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=57886250&postcount=70

    Also, from what I can see in the charter, blasphemy isn't against the rules. Would imagine it would stop a lot of threads if it did. No one would be able to question Gods existence for a start in the forum.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    I wouldn't say this in thread or in forum because of back seat modding but hey, this is feedback (must find cat pics...)

    This guy gareth is either a sophisticated troll or slightly unhinged. I very much doubt that someone who pushes the beliefs he claims to hold could act as a functioning member of society. And I think (from other posts in other forums) that his persona in the christianity forum is a put on job.

    And so he is pushing this whole blashemy / antichrist / uber-believer schtick. And people are rising to it and little mini-wars are breaking out all over the place. Methinks a big heavy dose of ban-stick and thread-lock bandied about for a few days would see the forum settle back to it's normal self.

    There seems to be a distinct lack of moderation on the forum. The forum contains profanity and blasphemy from the antichrist.

    The first post on the thread contains profanity
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055417952

    I hope that you can help. Such cursing should not be allowed on any forum but especially not the Christianity forum.

    If you're a troll, allI can do is salute you.

    This is the single best line I have ever seen posted here

    I read the OP's post and just thought "oh FFS".

    That's it. ffs.

    Please don't post pictures of Slayer on the forum or use naughty words, so we can get back to asking questions like "are athiests evil?".

    Religious people are the most intolerant & smug I've ever met. If heaven is full of them, then hand me my trident & horns.

    I see that you're not making generalisations so.

    Define "religious people"? There are plenty of posters in the atheism forum who demonstrate no tolerance for anyone's spiritual beliefs.

    While Im not sure of the seriousness of the OP in this thread, reading the relevant thread in the Christianity forum, it does appear like Nailz was poo stirring. While its not apparant in his original post, he asks for people's opinions which he proceeds to piss over with his point of view. For example the reason he doesnt find it offensive it because its cool and he loves Slayer. That doesnt make it less offensive to anyone else.

    Really posters should have just ignored his thread though. And South of Heaven is a way better album.

    +1 IMH like with gender roles, Ireland is still finding it's feet with religion. We've only quite recently come out of our rigid past. There's a touch of the adolescent rebellion in ireland about religion. Specifically catholicism/christianity. That end of it really get it in the neck for boringly obvious reasons.

    As Hagar points out that thread would have lasted milliseconds in islam(or indeed any of the other religious fora). IMHO rightfully so. Reasoned debate fine. Extracting the urine, not so good. OK depending on the rigidity of the faith in question that line is blurred. Islam would be less tolerant than buddhism or christianity say, but that thread was clearly stirring though.

    As for the OP being a troll? Probable, but I have met on more than one occasion real people who would hold similar views.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    In fairness, I don't think Nailz was trolling - it was a fair question. But he should have kept the swearing down because it is specifically written in the Chirstianity charter that swearing ins't allowed.
    Posts like this were unecessary.

    On the other hand, Gareth is fairly obviously a troll:

    Nailz is the antichrist? Well that's a bit disappointing. No offence to Nailz, but for an antichrist I'd expect something much more badass.

    Well the OP would or probably gotten a warning and then I would have to end up banning 2-3 people on the thread because they would just see how far they could push the thread to be intentionally offensive while claiming their innocence. Then they would go crying to feedback forum to "FIGHT THE POWA" and how Islam has a personal vendetta against them (even though I am not even Muslim).

    Seriously.

    The OP could of described it and then let the people do the searching themselves.

    It would be like saying in AH "Do you find tubgirl offensive?" (probably not a ban) to posting the tubgirl picture and saying the same question.

    I don't know the Christianity level of moderation. Maybe they will allow that level of posting.

    Generally we allow a fair amount of leeway in a serious discussion.

    This thread has since been locked and heavy sack beatings have been dolled out.

    Pfft. There are plenty of atheists on Boards ( and real life) who could give the religious people a run for their money in the 'intolerant and smug' stakes.
