Are individuals with evangelical agendas suitable for the job of greeter?

Nobody in this thread has any evidence to support the pathetic claims being made against me, my position, and my integrity, and as such has no place on this forum.
It's just a shame that some people can't accept that a subject is closed, and come up with another half-assed thread just to try and get the last word in because they can't stand the thought of actually losing a discussion, let alone losing it to someone that they treat with so much contempt as they treat me.

Lewis Can you point to a "claim"? I'm not seeing where anyone has said they KNOW you're doing anything.

From: Cocoanut Cookie She's telling you that it's best for Christians to keep a low profile as to their Christianity on these forums, Lewis. No chance. I have every right to believe what I choose to, regardless of whether it affects anyone else or not. And as there is no evidence whatsoever that it is affecting anyone in game or on the forum, in any capacity whatsoever, then there is no point to this entire argument. It has no value, or place on a forum. Why those responsible choose to attack me here, rather than approach me in game and find out for themselves what I am really like only goes to show their true intentions. Lewis

From: Lewis Nerd You make no sense whatsoever, so if you were trying to make a point you have failed dismally.
I'd say try again, but I honestly don't think the results would be worth the bother.
Lewis Ooops.

This thread is nothing more than a personal attack against Lewis. A person who is a volunteer greeter for LL and has done nothing wrong.
You all should be ashamed of yourselves for treating another resident who spends some of his time and energy in SL to help new residents.
His being a Christian has nothing to do with anything but it sure shows others true colors.

In earlier threads, you claimed that the suicide girls, and those who visit their site were the lowest common denominator, and not the sort of people "we" want in SL. You backed up these opinions by citing your faith. Now if your faith is as strong as you state, and your feelings on these matters are as strong as you purport, I'd suggest you would let these considerations colour your perceptions and treatment of individuals you might meet as a greeter. Admittedly, all conjecture on my part Lewis, but as you have shown several times, conjecture and wild speculation is totally acceptable to you.

Lewis Wow. That's an excellent position... for the Suicide Girls!

Lewis I just read the first post again. Can you quote the "accusations", please? Thank you.

Perhaps you'd like to quote the "personal attack" part. I'm seeing a thread title with no names and an initial post that raises a valid point without making any accusations or statements of fact.

The accusations are thus: 1) That I am using my position as a Greeter to evangelise to new players. 2) I am abusing the trust given to me as a Greeter to promote my own agenda. 3) I do not have the interests of the new player, or the game as a whole, at heart. 4) I lack the ability to differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate opportunities to share my faith. 5) Considering any or all of the above, I have no place in being a Greeter. That clear enough for you? Lewis

I have met Lewis on several occasions on Help Island and elsewhere. I have never seen him try to evangelise anyone. It was noticeable that he was the only greeter to turn up at a recent meeting for volunteers. This was an unofficial meeting and yes there would have been those who couldn't make it for one reason or another. The point is that he made the effort. Now will all those who are jumping on Lewis for no good reason please volunteer for the Greeter programme and see how you get on?

Lewis Perhaps you don't know the meaning of the word " quote". Please try again. And this time, don't respond with what you believe is being said... stick to the actual words. Thanks.

There is an accusation in the thread title, quoting my name and something I said in a now locked thread, and asking the question specifically as to whether I am suitable to have as a greeter. It is plain and obvious to see. Lewis

It's my opinion that the OP is nothing but a personal attack and an invitation for everyone to participate.

Lewis As I've already said, I don't see an accusation. Until you QUOTE it, I'll not see it. Is it really so hard or have you suddenly realized no accusation was made?
