Apartment Life = Satantist?

You know what, I'm not even going to be nice about it, it's time we called a spade a spade here.
Equating fairytale green witches with Satanism is STUPID.
Really, that's all I have to say. If she finds reality I hope she holds on tight with both hands.

I think she might have waited to see what people posted. I have a lot of faith in people to do the right thing and I think most of us just want to have fun with the witches. I don't see most people going to dark with them. Theres a couple of sites out there that are a little dark for me, I just stay away from them. If her site is mostly about having fun and playing a game it will stay that way.

I ranted about this over at GoS..can I rant here too? (: *does the cute face and hopes that works*
First of all, its the ignorance. As pointed out by many people, most of what she has actually said which is Satanic is not. DLMuslow clearly does not know what paganism and witchcraft are. If someone is going to attempt to restrict their members then at least know what you are talking about. Being narrow minded when you make a decision that rules over a large amount of people is stupid. And as Sneebs (over at GoS) said Christianity does have links with Paganism...so she does not even know where her own religion comes from. Being informed of what you are against, means you are informed over what you are for.
Secondly, this is such a blatant over reaction over a game, it would be funny if it was not so offensive. The witches in AL are appropriate for kids, as the game is child/teen rated. So it makes no sense to restrict it from a Teen forum when the game is Teen itself. She even says in other threads that she finds the witches in it silly..which is exactly what EAxis' intent is.
Thirdly, she already has rules regarding expression of Satanism, and these are immediately shoved in your face when you register. People do know about that rule, and that its a Christian site. It was not neccessary to repeat that rule, espicially over something silly...looks drama wanting.
Lastly, she has no right to pass an ignorant, narrow minded viewpoint towards people who are supposed to be welcome to her site. Misunderstanding is something, but closed mind and spite towards a religious faith that you do not even attempt to understand and therefore lump as being Satanic is just foul. It seems like she is presenting that you must be Christian to be at her site. She can inforce rules on her site, guidelines..but what she finds personally offensive when its actually someone else's faith, that she will not try to examine and understand, is wrong. She owns a sim website...the sims is a game..beliefs are real, they are different to each individual. If she thinks she can eliminate a certain religion because she does not like it then that is dreadful.
Banning people who tried to inform and discuss with her otherwise was bad. The thread was deleted, but can be seen here.
Hopefully that rant did not come across as being bitchy..am very irritated by this. Very. Just find it offensive, and really un-needed. Bleh

ROFL !!!!!! I wasn't going to respond because I didn't want this become a free for all. We all have had or know someone that has ran into bigotry in some way or another. Just because many of us has no idea about the Wicca witches or whatever we shouldn't make blanket assumptions. I don't know enough about it to equate it to anything, but I do know that this all about a game
It's not real so let's all get along and let others drown themselves in stupidity. God how I love this community (insim).

As another one of the banned, I have this to say.
I didn't receive the mass-mail, but saw it when it was posted somewhere (I was a member, but hadn't updated my e-mail address.) and at first I was shocked, then I was put-off. And when she added to it, for discussion, I was angry. This has less to do with Apartment Life witchcraft, and more to do with hypocrisy and narrowmindedness. In fact, one could likely remove the Sims 2 from the situation.
It was a comment in reply to someone's question about the other supernatural things in TS2. When asked if, since Witches are not to be portrayed as anything but "Hollywood", why was it okay to have vampires, werewolves and zombies? DL answered with something along the lines of, "Because they're made-up, and people unfortunately practice 'witchery', which is real-life Satanic involvement.
Well, a few pagans and pagan sympathetics were shocked to read this, some angrier than others. We spoke our piece on the subject, each in a mature and informative manner, suggesting that she educate herself. She replied saying that she was indeed educated enough to call it demonic, hateful, and evil practice. Granted what I said after that was not entirely polite*, but no one broke the informative, mature demeanor in which we were trying to educate her.
When she made a hideous remark toward me, I responded. This response was deleted, and then soon after the entire thread was deleted - all participants but her and DrPF were banned.
Later she posted that several members were banned to protect her and her members. (Though from what, I've no idea.) She lied, accusing us of threatening her... and then proceeded to repeat that all were welcome, but Satan was not - hammering home the final nail in the coffin that held any respect for her.
(*I had said that, "If I am demonic as you say I am, and your Abrahamic hell exists, we will see each other soon." This was rude, and uncalled for on my part - however I never got a chance to apologize.)
