Being the only active moderator here isn't easy. I'm tired.
I spend way too much time deleting spam/trolls. It's painful to see all the "reports" of tattling on each other. I spend time that I don't want to checking memes for inappropriateness and x news. I don't want to look at those threads, but as a moderator, I have to. Recently, I had to delete two links that started out with "Holy F***!!!"
I shouldn't have to look at that. Members shouldn't be posting that in the first place.
Just this morning someone who has been here a very short time fussed at me because I did something "wrong" with his post. I can handle the fussing. My shell ain't that weak. What I can't is why I had to fix it in the first place.
And with the members who are dancing with glee that Pope Francis is in hell - that scares me. Is he in hell? I don't know. I do know that he taught that there are many ways to God. He seemed to be a universalist. And that is a pagan and false teaching that is LEADING people to hell. I have two former students who have cited Pope Francis's teaching in this area and claim it as the truth. And that breaks my heart.
The last several weeks, I have been praying like mad for Pope Francis. For his salvation and for his healing. It would never dawn on me to come here and rejoice in his eternal punishment. Christians should not rejoice that others are/may be in hell.
I promise you that I am NOT mad. I am just so dog tired. These spamming trolls are enough to make one sick. My political beliefs are causing distress to others and I'm sorry.
I just deleted one troll that got through to the open board two days ago. It was in the open for 50 minutes before I caught it. It was a man who was asserting that he, himself was God and was God since he was born and that when he died, the whole universe would collaspe. It made no sense. It was a super long post that wasn't from a bot, but from someone trolling.
@Dr. Bob please take moderator off of my name. I consider all of you with fondness. ALL of you. Pray for me as I just as so tired. I need a life. And I'm going to get one.

(I have no way to do/undo a "moderator status" as the present owners of BB have given me little technical ability)
