Apartment Life = Satantist?
J00wish:
It's tough when you are talking about religion. I saw the whole thread too. There was heated discussion of course but when you see an email stating that you are a devil worshiper for your religion I can understand the anger. It's one thing to set a standard about what is and is not posted on the site. But to call it satanism and then not allow those to at least speak their peace is going to get a backlash.
From what I saw the tensions were high and she had a chance to diffuse the issue and make an interesting discussion out of it. Sadly it was dealt with by banning and deleting. When you are the owner of a site your rules are what make the site work. But you have to understand that when you run a community based site you have to be able to absorb the heat. Especially when it was something you said to start it. People make mistakes or send things without realizing exactly how bad it will be received by those who believe differently. She alienated a lot of people by her responses.

Someone should tell her that lying is sinful. ;) It seems all this is doing is causing people to lie just to make an admin happy. Most who agree will agree out of fear of being banned. Same goes for those who say nothing at all.
Kathy, you should make a thread saying that clouds are made of marshmallows and threaten to ban anyone who disagrees. That's my opinion.
But whatever...places like that lose members fast. It's good to set rules, but that's just ridiculous.
If anyone genuinely agrees with her, however, that's absolutely fine as long as you don't threaten people. lol. More power to ya.

I was about to suggest something along those lines too, DbF (great minds think alike lol.)
I'm just not sure why religion needs to come up at all. I mean, it's just a game. Is it really worth getting so bend out of shape? If you honestly believe it's Satanic, good for you. But why force your beliefs on others and go ban-crazy? Why silence people with differing opinions or beliefs? Why should I convert or declare anything about my beliefs in order to participate in a Sims 2 forum? *glares* This just conjurs up the images of Soviet gulags...

Isn't vampires and zombies evil too by those standards?
I guess so, but its so weird, I guess I'll never understand that since I'm Jewish, its a game! com'on! and now you gonna tell me that robots are satanic too...
Mihura:
Yes it's just a game and even in the game and for me witches don't appear so satanist. ;)
