Hodgin Satirical Posts

[Mr Flibble]

That's enough satirical posts for now (I think they feed the Hodgin
Troll); they will resume on the Hodgin Troll's next proselytization.

"Suppose it’s all true, and you walk up to the pearly gates, and are
confronted by God," Bryne asked on his show The Meaning of Life. "What
will Stephen Fry say to him, her, or it?"
"I’d say, bone cancer in children? What’s that about?" Fry replied.
"How dare you? How dare you create a world to which there is such misery
that is not our fault. It’s not right, it’s utterly, utterly evil."
"Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates
a world that is so full of injustice and pain. That’s what I would say."

Peter Cheung attacked several groups with his flood of posts
against me, totaling up numbers that were far, far in excess
of anything close to my post count, even well over 200 posts
in a couple weeks.

You can do the same with comp.lang.c++. All it proves is you
don't care about the group you claim to care about, that you are
a criminal identity thief, and that you're someone who needs a
mask to post behind (no matter the subject), "Mr. Flibble."

How thick are you? I am not going to do the same which is why I said
they are on hiatus until your next proselytization. If YOU care about
this group then YOU will cease your proselytisms. This group only wants
to read C++ related posts not your fucktarded brain dumps.

I care about people, Leigh. The Lord asks us to go forth an teach
all the world. I will obey Him. His message is given for all who
will be saved. It is not given for those who won't. If the message
is not for you, then please know I am truly harmed by that fact be-
cause I do care about your future, and I want you to be saved.

My desire for you is that you will be saved from judgment for your
sin, saved from eternal damnation. I want you to prosper and thrive
in eternity. Only Jesus can make that possible because only Jesus
can take your sin away.

You don't care about people at all; all you care about is satisfying
your bloated self-righteous ego.

That is one possible view/take on my actions. It is not the only one,
nor is it the correct one. The correct one is as I've indicated.

Open your eyes, Leigh. There's an entire eternity's call before your
very life right now this day. The Lord Himself is inviting you to
come and be a part of His Kingdom. He promises you a future beyond
imagination, not limited as this temporal world is.

It is NOT about me!
It is about YOU ... and your relationship to Him.

This thread and this topic is all about you though; all about you and
your unwanted actions toward this group.

[Mr Flibble]

I am willing to do a deal, a compromise if you will. If you agree to
restrict your proselytization to the signature block of otherwise
serious C++ related posts then I agree to stop the satirical posts.

I am man enough to offer you this deal; are you man enough to accept it?

[Rick C. Hodgin]

You can destroy comp.lang.c++ if you choose to do so, Leigh. I will
continue to post periodic messages about people's need to be forgiven
for their sin. If my posts are too much for you to handle, then go
ahead and flood the group with the posts of your choosing.

My concern is for your soul first, then other things (including C++)
after.

[Mr Flibble]

You are the one intent on destruction; my posts are simply the antidote.

I guess you are not man enough. I hope you enjoy your life as a slug.

[Rick C. Hodgin]

Did you ever watch Sports Night? I used to love that show back in
the late 90s, and early 00s. Still remember many quotes:

Dana Whitaker: [mockingly] I'm looking for ways to kill you,
you know.

Sam Donovan: Dana, I have been through alcohol, marriage,
and network television. If you want to kill me,
you're gonna need some kryptonite.

-----
Leigh, I've been pursued by many a foot soldier like you, including
the biggest you've seen (Peter Cheung). If you want to silence me it
will have to be by force because so long as I have free will, I will
openly testify unto all about the freedom and redemption made possible
in and by Jesus Christ.

"Shall not the Lamb receive the full reward for His suffering?"

I can tolerate the hatred and shunning of men, because I know who it
is I teach about. He is worthy of anything I will lose or go through
by my teaching others about Him.

So many people think Christianity is just a religion. And for many
that is truly all it will ever be. But for those who are saved and
born again of the spirit of God ... it is a relationship. You live
anew for God each day.

This teaching given by Steve Lawson addresses this point brilliantly.
I listened to it earlier today after posting it:

It Will Cost You Everything
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtk0I0Rp9vs

You should listen to it. He speaks very well about what it truly
means to be a Christian. It's not just something you do on Sunday
for a couple hours. He is literally your whole life.

your posts are entertaining but they are becoming repetitive. I count
many more threads opened by you (10:1) than by the originak religious
spammer. Please stop being worse than the original group destructor.

Juha, as with the others here, I have no ill will toward you. I do not
understand why you are so rude and vulgar to me. I teach you the way
of forgiveness of sin and eternal life. If you can hear His call within
your heart, rejoice and jump up and down because He is reaching out to
save your soul.

The message is one of peace and hope and love.

Because you keep spamming this newsgroup with completely off-topic
proselytizing that nobody wants, even though everybody is telling you
to stop it and fuck off, and you dumb and act all arrogant and
hypocritical about it. When people say that they are not interested
in what you have to say, and that this isn't the place to keep repeating
the same shit over and over, you should stop if you are a decent human
being. But you are not. You are nothing but a complete asshole. And
as long as you keep spamming this newsgroup, I will keep calling you that.

Rick asks why people are so "rude and vulgar" to him: probably
because he's rude and vulgar to them by continuing to post
off-topic religious nonsense. He claims he has no ill will, yet
he routinely posts things that are judgemental and obnoxious and
continues to do so after being explicitly asked to stop: it is
hard to imagine how someone with no ill will would continue such
behavior. Imagine if this were how he behaved at a dinner
party? It's safe to say that he wouldn't be invited back.

But I would suggest that continuing to call him an asshole,
while in many respects a mere statement of truth, also serves to
egg him on to continue posting. He'll see it as affirmation of
his status as a persecuted minority and vindication of what he
thinks is his righteous mission to convert the unwashed masses.

I suggest that the best way to deal with Rick is to ignore him
in all ways, including those occasions where he posts something
on-topic.

In fact, proselytizing and conversion attempts are no better than
mental rape.

Have you ever read the content of the things I post?

There might be a reason why I post it other than just to spam the group.
It might be worthy of your time to glance over it.

God asks us to go forth and teach. It is by His authority that I post
these things.

The things I post are true, Scott:

1) All people have sin
2) Sin condemns us to Hell
3) Jesus came to take away our sin
4) All we have to do is ask Him and He saves us

That's not "mental rape." It is eternal life. It is the greatest
gift of God given unto man.

I would not say that (especially as I have no real concept of what
"mental rape" might be - but it sounds bad). If you follow a religion,
and believe it is "the truth" and of benefit to everyone (and if you
don't believe that, why are you following it?) then it is understandable
that you will want to tell people about it. Keeping the "truth" to
yourself would be selfish. If you want to put up a sign outside your
church saying "come and learn about god", that's fine. If people talk
to you and ask you about your beliefs, and you try to persuade them of
the "truth" as you see it, that's fine. If you want to put up a stand
in a public place promoting your religion, that's okay in a limited way
(the same as a stand promoting Greenpeace, or Save the Children, or
whatever).

Forcing people to listen to your proselytizing, or intruding upon other
people is /not/ okay. But it is not "mental rape" - it's being a public
nuisance or public disorder. It's like a Save the Children campaigner
rattling their collection box under your nose as you walk down the
street, saying "But don't you care about the children?". It is the kind
of thing that gets you fined, not jailed.

Forcing people to convert to your religion is a different matter -
/that/ is a crime against humanity, and perhaps "mental rape". It has
been done in all sorts of ways throughout history, and it is still done
in many places today, for many religions (including Christianity, and
including the western world). Equally, forcing someone to give up their
religion is against their human rights.

What Rick does here is /not/ a crime, or "mental rape". But he is being
a public nuisance, it is abuse of the freedom of speech, and this Usenet
group would be a far better place without his religious posts. The
same, IMHO, applies to Mr. Flibble's so-called "satire". It was
marginally witty the first time, but was tedious and irritating by the
second faked post, and is as counter-productive and childish as Brian's
anti-swearing campaign. (Of course we all want to keep Mr. Flibble's
on-topic C++ posts.)

Rick's off-topic posts are annoying, but there is no need to exaggerate
them (especially as they are pathetic "conversion attempts"). And if
Mr. Flibble follows through in his promise to cut the "satire", then
hopefully the number of nonsense threads will die down for a bit.

[Mr Flibble]

I agree totally about ignoring his on-topic points too (and have
suggested this myself); if he was completely ignored eventually he would
give up. Sadly people still reply to his on-topic posts which he
probably sees as affirmation that he never spams the group.
