This post is provocative and offensive - you are stirring up religious hatred by using the forums to prosthelytize your religion.

It's offensive to people of other religions - remove it. Religious discussions inevitably end up in flame wars. You're clearly trying to start one.

When stuff gets really messed up in Dead Space 1&2, that ain't nothing compared to those moments. "Yes Isaac"

There is a reason I never played Dead Space. I like sleeping through the night without nightmares. [;)]

Hehe, that is...disturbing. Funny, but ...disturbing. [X(] [;)]

Disturbing? How so?

I just don't like the horror genre in general. It still made me chuckle though. [:)]

just my personal opinion :]

Your picture is in bad taste - it's clearly taken from a non-PG rated game. Remove it.

Kayoz - do you feel offended by the picture I posted? If so I will remove it, just let me know. But for god's sake, cool down man. I can't help but notice that you are acting like a bad tempered five year old who had his toy taken away. Don't mistake forum troll control with cyber bullying and be thankful the admins are so considerate and haven't ban you yet for that outbursts of yours(but you are pushing it, for sure). I think you are overreacting dude....

How do personal attacks, insults and lies amount to "troll control"?

To the best of my knowledge there were none whatsoever, you are simply overreacting. What you do now is an intentional trolling (and we both know you know it) and that shows only a very bad side of your character. If I were you I would seriously consider re-thinking the whole thing and making amends. Unfortunately, I can't say I can fully understand the source of your anger because I simply fail to see any evidence which would support your accusations. Either way it's your mess and it should be in your best interest to clean it up, not mine.

Anyways, do you feel personally offended by the picture I posted, and do you really want me to take it down?

Kayoz my friend,

Indeed, a very nice post/picture. Thanks for posting that.

I think you got it all wrong. This is a game forum. Nothing more...nothing less. Just don't take it too seriously when you don't like some post. Ignore it. All people have different opinions. You cannot ask everyone to see things the same way.

What I am trying to say is just relax and take it easy. There is a very nice gaming community here. This is what brings us closer. We may be from different cultures but we do share many things in common. And playing this nice game is one of those. And I am sorry about my last post if some of you did find rather 'strange'.

Kayoz, I do have to reiterate though that your last post is appreciated.

Dead Space 2 has an ESRB rating of "M" - which means nobody under 17 should be playing it. Posting images from the game seems to be inconsistent with Erik's declared desire that the forums be "family friendly", and in very poor taste to be adding to an already contentious debate.

I consider this a 'yes' so I'm taking the img off the thread.

Ta. The quran is an oft overlooked source of wisdom. Being a primarily English speaking forum, it's often ignored in favour of more "politically correct" sources such as the Bible - or in this case Buddhism.

I'm not too bothered with being "green button'ed" by some more vitriolic and hypocritical members of the forum. In fact, I prefer it that way. Drastically reduces the static on the forum, as I don't have to deal with their ignorance, bullying and lies quite as often... now if only they'd just KEEP me "green-buttoned".

A belated thank-you.

A clarification from you on how personal insults and attacks constitutes "troll control" as opposed to simply bullying, would be appreciated. Or are you cool with statements like, "callous spirit within", and "revel at that child's suffering" - aren't personal attacks. Those statements passed, by far stating one's objection to a picture. Might I remind you that for all the insults and attacks, Webbco was the only one that bothered to ask for it to be taken down, rather than just continually spouting venomous insults.

I'm most interested in hearing the reasons for your vocal objection to me, and your deafening silence with regards to their actions.

Hi Kayoz,

Your recent reaction to my request to tone it down has resulted in an official warning. We issue one warning, after that a poster is banned for a period until they acknowledge they can abide by the forum rules. Current politics and religion are also discouraged on this forum, as they tend to create friction whereas the point of these forums is to share our common interest in gaming. There are other places to discuss the more touchy subjects that sometimes divide us.

Regards,

- Erik

Erik -

It was JHGT who brought religion to the forums. I asked for him to remove it, clearly stating my position and he refused. Shouldn't this warning be directed at him?

Come on guys this troll couldn't be more obvious if he put the usual troll face as his avatar. I mean the guy starts trying to create a religion flame war. Either hit the green button or don't respond to any of his cries for attention.

JHGT brought religion onto the forum - not me. I asked him clearly and politely to remove it. So who started the religious flame war?
