I may be wrong, I was once before(joking) but seriously I think the rule is on "I'm leaving" threads...like an entire thread titled "Why I am
quitting CD" or something like that. I have never heard of a rule against "That's all folks!"http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa19/forjerz/porky-1.gif (broken link)in a particular thread.

Hey, I can help you out if you have any spare reps that you don't know what to do with, thereby freeing you up to rep Alpha!

I tried. It's still telling me I have to spread it around. Boy, I must be doing a really bad job of that, huh?

Forum Rules. Scroll down to "No "I'm leaving" messages."

I mean, aren't we rolling dice on whether there is a train or there isn't?
Well if you're gonna go Pascal's wager, then the train analogy doesn't work because there are multiple religions. If you should believe because it's the safest bet, then the safest bet ultimately is to go with the religion whose fate for nonbelievers is the worst.

I'm going to have to say on behalf of all nonbelievers, please adopt Rob's position on this. Just leave us be and save the warnings.

You're right. But I must say I've never seen it enforced in that way. I have seen "I'm leaving" threads shut down and deleted, but I've seen many posts that say "I'm outta here" meaning the thread itself.

I've never witnessed to the same person twice without:

1-They've brought up the subject, or
2-They've been around when I was talking about it with someone else.

Change that last 'us' to the word 'me' and you've got a deal. I think witnessing to someone who says "Don't witness to me" is wrong, rude, a waste of time and also quite unbiblical.

FWIW, I never said I was leaving the thread. I simply stated that I was not going to keep going back and forth with BigThirsty in some attempt to get the last word in....meaning, I wasn't going to keep arguing with him. Perhaps some people need to stop presuming so much.

I've been hit by a train!

B. Frank, it is possible for a Christian to be sincere in their posts.
