Why do you assume he was being sarcastic?

I agree, Oddipus, posted over on Faith that Bob must now have supernatural powers if he can tell (I can't) that Cam is being sarcastic. Any chance Bob has of jumping on Cam, even if it's JUST A GUESS, he takes. Kinda vicious. Just IMHO, of course....

Bob, I can see why you probably figure Cam's being sarcastic. Maybe he is. But in the meantime, he's sure made Lou happy. Just for the benefit of doubt, couldn't you have not blocked him? If you feel he needed blocking, wouldn't it have been more judicial to wait for a follow-up post, just in case? That one post of his isn't sarcastic for a certainty. There was no need to be in a hurry yet, was there?

Bob, how do you KNOW he's being sarcastic?

> Kinda vicious.
Keeping in mind that the idea here is not to post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down, could you please rephrase that? Thanks,
Bob

Sorry, Bob, but it does seem like you really enjoy going for Cam. He's probably the MBP (Most Blocked Player) on this board by a mile. And I still don't understand how you KNOW he was being sarcastic...Care to answer?
I remain,
yours sincerely,Wendy

You have lots of access to the server logs and to the archives of these sites......I'm sure it wouldn't be too much work to pull up blocking times and find out the most blocked player/poster.
Why do you not want this information out?

Knowing Cam, my first thought was that he was being sarcastic.. so I refrained from commenting...
But Cam has had a hard time of things for a while, and you never know, this could all be how he is feeling right now. You know what they say, the biggest dessenter is the most in denial.
Maybe he has found a christian way to help him... and blocking him could be a terrible move.
I don't know.. none of us do except Cam.

I would think it great if Cam has found relief from a much too hard life.
But if he did, he wouldn't come out with that quote. His second post seem to back up that he was joking.
Seemed obvious to me that if he found religion, he would have just talked a lot more about what happened and not be using the Lord on high type stuff. Everything I've read from Cam shows a strong distaste for religion.
I think when he got back from his last vacation, it took him posting very few times on faith and he was blocked again.
I don't see his point but I haven't really talked to Cam in a long time.
If you're reading, I hope you're okay C Dubya.

Cam knows the rules. If he's most blocked, it's not Admins fault. If Cam really wanted to be carrying on ongoing dialogue with anyone, he would be extra careful not to get blocked.
I'd love to see Cam and about ten other posters back on this board. For a lack of a better word, each poster had their strengths. It was hardto be bored.
It ain't that hard these days.

Dear Bob,Well, I guess you showed me didn't you? :-]
I DID mean to re-phrase it in a more paletable way, and I couldn't understand why you didn't get that! I'm glad you found it in yourself to be able to review it and correct your mistake...
Enjoy your holidays, as well,
Wendy

Pushing my luck, I know. But just in case you forget, I was defending his post. So I'd be remiss if I didn't ask for commutation of his sentence, too.
Well! It never hurts to ask!
