Originally posted by RJHindsYou see, this is my business. I may not seem very active in the forum because I don't post a lot. I just try not to say anything when I don't think I have anything to say.

If that's so then I'm telling you to mind your own business and shut up! 😏
As for the second one, yes, I won't speak to you again, I promise. And I try to keep my promises.

My aim has been to make a positive contribution to the Spirituality Forum as well as the Chess Forum.

How about 1 Corintians 6:12 or 1 Corinthians 10:23? You could practice what you preach.

Also, freedom of expression is not license for abuse. Abuse of freedoms leads to a curtailing of those freedoms. Yes, you have a right to say what you want, but it doesn't mean you should say it.
I agree with Paul Leggett. You could be more discerning in the exercise of your rights and learn a little respect for these forums and extend basic courtesy to others.
How you have not received a forum ban is beyond me.
