    Ben, don't leave. I disagree with you 99% of the time (including now), but you post with sincerity, conviction and (rarest of all in the OT) civility. Apolyton would we the lesser for losing you.

    However, if the choice is to be between keeping the banner for gay marriage (and thus losing you) and keeping you at the expense of allowing your intolerance to force the owners to remove the ad, then I for one, with the sincerest respect for you, would prefer to keep the ad.

    Please reconsider the position you've taken. I would hate to see you leave.

    jon.

      Its SKanky.

      And while I am at it, Asher's name has an e in it.

        You forgot the apostrophe in it's.

        Besides, Shanky sounds nicer than Skanky.

          Sorry, Spiffor; I was being sarcastic. I thought it would be more civil than responding in kind.

            Not if your name happens to be Skanky, dear.

                A minor inconvenience Shanky.

                  His last post was made 25 minutes after he opened this thread, but since it's only been a day then I wouldn't get too concerned yet. If he isn't back after the weekend, then that'd be different.

                    yep, big reason for concern. A guy expresses his opinion on a matter that is important to him (maybe a troll, maybe not). Big reason for concern if he doesn't post again. Earth shattering possibilities if all of you got fooled by his troll..

                      I would value Ben's presence on OT more than any other I think. At least he has the independence of thought to have his own opinions rather than just spouting back the opinions of other like most people here seem to do.

                          I was under the impression that Ben quoted scripture constantly and based his viewpoints around various interpretations from the bible, showing a total lack of independence of thought as evidenced by his ridiculous, contradicting positions.
                          "The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

                              which ones? post examples(screenshots)

                              Will attempt to make an effort to capture the banner on this computer, (since this one has an image editing program available.)

                                If you don't want to support those organizations, don't click the banner.
                                If that's the deal, then fine, I have no problem.

                                What I do have a problem is if my support is also going to an organisation to which I do not agree.

                                I was under the impression that Ben quoted scripture constantly and based his viewpoints around various interpretations from the bible, showing a total lack of independence of thought as evidenced by his ridiculous, contradicting positions.
                                I would think Rogan has considerably more familiarity with scripture to make a qualified assessment.
