This entire thread
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faith/20020715/msgs/931.htmlis not helpful, not supportive, not educational, not CONVERSATIONAL, not relevant, not anything but the meritless babble (and I say that because we're babblers, and I am not trying to cast aspersions...) of a person who has been blocked and warned before about his uncivil behavior on this board.
I believe it's proselytizing (Webster's New World Dictionary: 1 - to try to convert a person, esp. to one's religion; 2 - to persuade to do or to join something, esp. by offering an inducement). The inducement he's offering is the "road to the crown of life." In other words, he's preaching to us to become a part of whatever religion Lou is part of, which he still doesn't identify. And I don't think it's right or fair to allow such things to go on here. Lou is not having a conversation with anyone, and he's not being supportive of anyone (except Cam, who did try to talk to him, but was blocked). I can't understand the point of any of his commentary. Bob, again, why do you allow it?
Asking sincerely,
Wendy

Please be sensitive to the feelings of others and don't post anything that could lead them to feel put down. The last time I blocked you, it was for 2 weeks, so this time it's for 4.

I don't see a problem with Lou's posts now.. he sticks to the religion board, doesn't constantly post about the gates in other threads, and is keeping pretty much to himself.
If you don't like his posts, simply ignore them as I do.. its much easier than getting upset about him.

Nikki,
As I recall, this is pretty much your consistent advice.
Please don't make assumptions about others, such as, that they can and should behave as you do.Also, I can see where this might lead others to feel put down.
Thanks for considering this!

We've been over and over this problem with Lou, and came up with some ways to help people avoid his posts, such as making the religion board. As I see it Lou has stuck to the rules WE qasked to be imposed, he has not posted his "stuff" on any board toher than the religion one and is keeping himself pretty much to himself.
What else do you want this guy to do??
If you kno whis posts are going to uoset you (not YOU, a genreal you), surely the obvious advice is to avoid them. Wendy B thought there was a problem with Lou's posts on the religion board, and I felt it within my rights to point out that the easiest way to avoid being uspet by these was to avoid them. I was not uncivil at any point.
And, one final point. I don't always take my own advice and avoid posts I really should do, so I am not asking tohers to behave as I do.

I think "support" for some people is just being able to post here. Just having a place to post freely as long as they aren't attacking anyone or interfering with others posting what they want to. We might not understand why someone would post particular things, but maybe they just need to. When Lou does violate the civility standards, he's blocked like anyone else. I don't see a problem with him posting here.
