Apartment Life = Satantist?
EKozski:
Same thing with my Christian friends. They don't shove their religion down my throat, and I don't shove my beliefs down theirs.
SIMale:
Isn't vampires and zombies evil too by those standards?
kathy:
You would certainly think so now wouldn't you?

I read all of her posts on the subject and there was a bit more detail that she gave out. For instance, as an example, she said that items that had symbols such as pentagrams would not be tolerated and objects like inverted crosses would not be tolerated. She seems to feel that it is not appropriate to embrace the darker side of witchcraft. She also stated in her post that the site would allow objects and items that reference more of a 'Bewitched' type of lighter view on witchcraft.
I also read some of the responses to her rule and from what I read, they were more attacks than responses. They, in my opinion, seem to be the 'you are stupid if you don't agree with me....' type of responses rather than people simply stating their opinions and moving on from there.
If I recall correctly, there was also a similar discussion here a long time back regarding stories and objects involving slavery and other forms of human abuse. Some wanted to see items that would assist in creating stories of such behaviors and those in control here took the stance that such items and stories would not be tolerated for any reason.
How is one really any different from the other? Site owners have the ultimate right to determine what their site will or won't tolerate and will or won't promote. Those who enjoy the site then have to make a choice regarding whether or not they want to continue using the site. Those who make items that violate policy must then choose to either keep their creations to themselves or choose post them elsewhere.
I often think we forget two important things when visiting sites.
First, the site owner owns the site and has the ultimate right to determine what will be posted there. If visitors and creators don't like it, they can join another site or create their own.
Second, it's only a game!
For me, the bottom line is: I don't agree 100% with things I see here at this site or at that site. I choose to go to the sites because I like the people and the creations. If there is something I want that these sites don't offer, I go elsewhere.

I think she is hiding her ignorance and fear behind her beliefs. Wicca and paganism are not Satanism and she is sadly mistaken in lumping them all in together. I was raised with religion but have learned about other forms of belief. If you don't educate yourself, then you should just keep your mouth shut about your ignorance and let people wonder rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt.
