Default Re: Newegg Bans The Bible

compiledkernel,

It is not possible for you to totally understand the scope of this, because you aren't able to read the discussion that I had with that admin, because it was via PM. At no time, did he ever say that the verse was offensive to anyone, he simply said that it would not be allowed. At first, he made all kinds of apologies, but they held no water, because that was only lip service.

To compare this to inflamatory speech, or libel in no fashion equates, nor did he maintain that it did either. Even in their regular discussion forum, there is an abundance of discussions that are just as controversial, and potentially offensive discussions as there are in the debates forum. Up until that time, there had never been any form of moderation anywhere on the forum. Perhaps you might understand why I might have been particularly perturbed by this being the first. It was not caused by a list of complaints from the membership, it was caused by only two people, who did not find the verse offensive either. They simply wanted to provoke a situation, and they did.

In regards to your last comment, about whether I would do business with a nonChristian...I do that daily and without any qualms. But then most nonChristians do not make my faith an issue in the first place.
