| | That is a good point. See, i’m used to living in the US where we have (partial)
freedom of speech. I shouldn’t have assumed. I also did not know where the terns
were before, And I honestly did look for it to read through before I posted such
a thread. After I while I just stopped looking. Wish that was bigger. Thanks
man!

It's not so much a matter of freedom of speech as it is cultural expectations.
In the U.S., people talk about religion freely. In Western Europe, religion is
considered more of a private matter, not fit for an internet discussion forum.

| Thanks Bricks Of Faith.
It will be sad to see you go as I have enjoyed seeing you post funny things and
insights on lego.
You will be missed,

I went all in and tried to post a long post about Christianity. I could not find
the terms of service, so I didn’t know it was against the rules.
The thing that is honestly making me leave is not because of all of the many
people who added me to their stop lists and least favorite store lists, but because
I am now receiving threatening private emails. I’d report the emails and user,
but as I am sure the mods are upset with me as it is, nothing will be done. Simply
because of my stance on religion, I am being very degraded. Which is expected
because in Christianity we are told to expect hate. I tried.
Sorry mods for this long post. I’m sure your gonna delete it anyway.
Thank you all in the forum who has treated me so kindly throughout the past few
months!

I hope you will take this advice, in the Spirit in which it is offered. The forum
rules restrict certain highly controversial topics in order to keep everyone
friendly, and focused on the main purpose of this site, which is after all, something
as "worldly" as selling plastic toys.
However, you might well consider that one's faithful witness needs to exist
in a much broader world than a mere lego forum, or the statements you can make
here. It is really about living and growing every day, and in every area of life,
so as to demonstrate outwardly the reality of what you believe. A wise man once
said, "The Word is not bound". The rules exist, but are only restrictive within
a very small forum. In the big scheme of things, nothing can really hold you
back from doing what you feel is right.
I hope you stick around.
is right.cannot really hold you back.

You are correct! I feel, however, that If I’m not allowed to voice my opinion
on something as little as my faith, then there shouldn’t be any reason to stick
around on this forum.
I’ve gone back and read many threads including one about removing guns from culture.
There are also members who are specifically devoted to spreading topics like
pride month on their store (and sometimes on the forum), a very serious topic
that can create some very heated debates. this shows me that stuff like that
can stay on,
While mine can’t. this all shows to me that they simply
pick and choose what to delete and what not to (I’m sorry moderator dude. You
seem great. Don’t take offense to what I say.) I will definitely continue selling
on here, but my forum activity will drop a lot. A lot of you guys have been very
good to me! Especially @popsicle! thank you all for everything! I will show up
randomly, so be prepared! Just not so often. Ciao!
