Ok, this is getting a little out of hand. Please just drop this. I am going to give you one warning. Then, if you continue to badmouth me, and my religion, I'll delete your posts regarding this topic, and all other posts regarding this topic. If you continue to badmouth, I will ban you. So, just please drop the subject, I really don't want to ban you, or anyone for that matter. I'm sorry it got to this. So, this is your warning.

Oh please. Science has proven the existence of dinosaurs and how old they are. There are records of everything I've said before the Bible was written. It's irrefutable. And you're threatening me for saying that you need help? Guess you just proved my point. You need to realize that not everyone agrees with your insane ideal (yes, it is insane, as there's nothing irrefutable to support it). Until then, I will not bother speaking to you.
Go ahead, ban me. If you do, this site will die. I don't care anymore. Goodbye.

And from what I have seen she has sat there and listened to you whine and cry about how hard life is for you and honestly most ppl wont even do that for there fellow man. I think you should show alittle respect and get a life there is no point in acting the way you do. If this was my channel I wouldnt be speaking as nice as I have, maby you should move on and get out. If I see you say another thing that is disrespectful believe me I will get banned from this site.

I don't whine and cry about how hard life is. I'm getting through it - that's what matters. You seem to have misinterpreted me. I've talked about some good things, but it's the bad things that stick in your mind, you know?
Yeah, guess I should just leave this place.

You don't have to leave this place. I'm willing to just delete the posts that offended me, and forget all this happened, if you promise to just agree to disagree about this matter. I have enjoyed our disscussions before all this happened. So, will you agree to disagree?

Ok now you are sounding more reasonable Andy its all we are asking for and I dont think you should delete the text Elle as long as he dosnt push the subject of religion its good that you have god in your life and something to believe in. But for the sake of discussion lets keep it to ourselves in this conversation. Plus Im glad to see that you arent trying to change her mind anymore Andy its not our right to tell someone what they should believe in, we should respect there decision.

I'm sorry that I wasn't around to help out with this incident earlier.
Andyman, please hear me out on this issue. I promise I'm not trying to take sides, and the only thing that I can ask of you is that you try to read the following with an open mind to what I'm trying to say.
Andyman, I truly don't want you to leave. However, I do not wish for anything even bordering sounding offensive to be posted on this site. In truth, I agree on the matter that I don't believe that the earth is only a couple of thousand years old (no offense intended, Dragonelle - that's my own personal belief, based on what I believe to be facts.) However, the way that you are disagreeing sounds slightly... (trying to think of the right word...) ... disrespectful to her beliefs. I would definitely consider 'pitying' someone, calling them 'ignorant', and calling someone's ideals 'insane' as being disrespectful.
I would like to ask you to please refrain from using this terminology or similar word choice when talking to anyone on the site about his/her beliefs or ideas. As quoted from the rules of this site, "3. Be polite to other members. If I find out about harrassment, you WILL be severely punished, and I may delete your profile all together if it persists. EDIT: This includes posts, personal messages, using the c-box, or any other way of communication you can think of."
This rule is still in effect. If any sort of disrespect continues, then all posts regarding this topic will be deleted. (I would like that the topic of religion be completely dropped for the moment in this thread) If it continues after that, you will be banned for a specific amount of time as per my discretion. If it still continues after that, then I will follow up with my promise in site rule #3 and will delete your account.
However, I really hope this doesn't happen. Even if I'm not on a lot of the time, I like having you around, Andyman.
(side note - if you would be interested, Dragonelle, I am going to start a topic concerning religion, perhaps mainly for this aspect. I'm really interested as to hearing your point of view on the 6000-10000 year old earth, even though I disagree with it. Andyman, you are welcome to joining in on the discussion as well, though I would yet again emphasize the fact that I will not tolerate any disrespect.)
So, getting back to the purpose of this topic: no, I have never gone skiing. I've actually been up on a ski lift on a mountain just outside of Portland, Oregon (I forget what it was called, though I know I ought to remember it.) But I never actually went skiing or anything. It looks really fun. What I'd really like to try is cross-country skiing, rather than downhill. I'd like to hear how it goes on Saturday! Do you ski a lot? (and I'm going to try and get on the site more and probably get in discussion in this topic. I've been having more time in the evenings since my Scholars Bowl practices ended a week ago.)

.... Perhaps just a bit....
I'm so tired... which shouldn't be the case: it's the first day of my Spring Break! (Yay... *sigh*)... I'll like the lack of homework and more time to write, but.... I dunno. I just feel so out of it emotionally. Anyone else's Spring Break coming up?

Well, I normally don't take Spring Break, and now because I'm so far behind in school, I really can't take it anyway. I would take it off, but I might as well be doing school, because I really have nothing better to do in the mornings. I'm sorry you weren't emotionally into Spring Break, I hope you ended up getting into the "Spirit" (No pun intended) of Spring Break.

Actually, despite my mood that first day (and I think perhaps the next two days after it), my Spring Break turned out very nice! I got a lot written, and I got the new pokemon game that came out! (as I think you know, I'm a big fan of pokemon) So it was more or less all good.
So anything exciting going on with you? I've got a solo and ensemble competition that I'm playing clarinet at in approximately... oh, three hours from now.

Awesome! I'm glad you had fun. I have a really good dragon story floating in my head, but I've been too busy to write it down. I'm going to be using a few names from the Bible in it, others from books, and others I've made up. I hope I get it written down before it leaves me!
Well, I did just start a chord book in my guitar lessons. Before, all I've been doing is picking (one or two strings at a time.) Now I'm playing chords (all or most strings at a time.) So, very soon I'll actually be learning real songs. When I do that, I'm going to learn a Christian song called "Farther Along", then my mom and I are going to sing a duet while I play, at church. I can't wait! But that won't be for a while. Well, I hope your competition goes well tonight!!

My competition went great~! For anyone who doesn't know music competions, you get a score of either I, II, or III, with I being the best. Everyone in my school's clarinet section (9 people other than me) played the Pink Panther Theme in an ensemble, and we got a I, which means we get to go to state! I also got a I on my solo, so I'll get to go to state with that as well. I was happier than I expected. I felt sorry for the flutes, though - they had an extremely tough judge. Not fair to them at all.
Guitar sounds like fun. I've never played any string instruments, though my two-years-younger brother is a fairly good mandolin player. He mainly plays bluegrass music, though sometimes he accompanies at church.
Actually, I guess I do play a string instrument. It's simply not an instrument you strum. I'm currently learning (or at least trying to learn) how to play the Hammered Dulcimer. It sounds really pretty (at least, when someone who's good is actually playing it). Playing it basically consists of using special mallets to hit any of a number of strings. It's actually fairly simple - the string are set up in scales, so all you have to do is go up string by string, almost like a piano.

Wow!! That's great! I'm so glad both you, and your team got I. I hope you guys do well at state! That does stink they got a tough judge. I hate that.
Guitar is really fun. Except when it's cold like it is now, because then it really hurts your fingers. I've been noticing my new calluses on the tips of my left fingers, my little prize for playing the guitar. I really like them, because they make it a lot less painful to play. I really love playing the guitar. That's cool your brother plays the mandolin. I bet he sounds great.
Wow, I've never heard of a Hammered Dulcimer before. It sounds really neat though. I bet it's really pretty sounding.
