     the software (SimpleMachines, probably the largest and most popular free open-source message board software in 2017) calls a subforum ("child board")


    Need I point out that this software has been used on CathInfo since Lent of this year? From the very beginning, we have had SEVERAL "child boards" and no one took offense to the term. But as soon as Flat Earth is placed in a "child board", watch out!

    It shows how much you've been fighting (or enjoy fighting?) when you're that trigger happy, let me tell you! 
    Yes, you need to point it. Why? Because obviously I never noticed it before. So what?
    .
    .
    After receiving daily insults on this board for being a believer in the Biblical flat earth, it should be no surprise that I would assume we are being relegated to an area whose name resembles an insult.
    .
    .
    You'd probably get a little trigger happy too if you were being told how stupid you are here EVERY. DAY.

    Well said. Though most Catholics believed in a flat earth for 3/4ths of the Church's history (until the 1500's) we are told that we are "stupid" and "liars" for believing in what Catholics traditionally believed for a very long time. 


    If there were no precedent for believing in a flat earth in the Catholic Church, then maybe the accusers would have a point. But that's not the case. There is a precedent.

    But it's inexcusable the heinous way flat earthers are treated by their fellow Catholics.

    Exactly.

    And what's also inexcusable is when the nasty accusers pretend that they are being charitable and serious when they ask a question, when really they just want to twist the words of the flat earthers when they get a sincere response from a flat earther. This type of diabolical behavior is a sin against the 8th commandment. Shame on them.

    • So, so Jєω. 

    What, are we going to get a movie about how we gassed you all to death then incinerated you while juggling babies on bayonets next?

    Top marks on the victim-hood.

    Gee, I don't know about diamonds, but I know a trace amount of gold goes into my toilet bowl every day! There was an article some time ago stating that scientist were hoping to come up with a way to harvest it, but it's definitely uneconomical to do. Some vegetables also contain small traces of gold. I also knew a family with relatives in Alaska who's chickens' eggs sparkled from the gold in the dirt/grit they would eat, so it's certainly true.

    I sometimes like to point out that my s*** is worth more then some peoples words. It makes a good laugh for folks.

    How much gold/money have we each individually flushed over our life spans???

    As a programmer, I use the term parent/ child literally every day to refer to an object which is part of, or belongs to, another object. It's a neutral [...] computer term.

    Just looking in what I have in my bookcases [†], I can find the centuries-established English word "child" [‡], meaning, i.a., a "descendant", used as a "computer term" in the phrase "child process", in the 1984 computing cult-classic by Brian W. Kernighan & Rob Pike: The UNIX Programming Environment (p. 35, with detail on p. 222).  That dates back 33 years, which I suspect was before some of CathInfo's Flat-Earthers, especially those posting in text-message style, were even born!

    Quote from: Matthew on October 06, 2017, 08:46:56 AM
    It's a [...] unoffensive computer term.

    Or it should be so.  Either inoffensive, which would be the customary adjactive, but recognizing that the uncustomary "unoffensive" (as quoted) indicates a neutral instead of a contrary sense.  In what was plainly a computing context, it never occurred to me to react to either alternative in any other way.

    Ironically, it was the indignation expressed by C.I.'s Flat-Earth snowflakes which drew my attention to them long enough for me to recall the phrase "children's table", with its self-evident meaning, from seating assignments for the festive dinner that's central to such U.S. holidays as Thanksgiving.  Hmmm.

    -------
    Note †: "In my bookcases" as distinct from even-older published works boxed-up in off-site storage.  Whence I could retrieve the even more broadly recognized 1968 computing classic by Donald Knuth: The Art of Computer Programming (TAOCP) Vol. 1: Fundamental Algorithms, 1st edition, xxi+634pp.  That dates back 49 years.  Altho' Knuth might've used the analogous set of Germanic terms "father", "son", and "brother", or the set of Latinate "ancestor" and "descendant" plus the Anglosaxon "sibling".

    Note ‡: Anglosaxon "cild", where A.S. "c" is pronounced approximately as the "ch" in modern-Eng. "church".

    God created the flat earth. It won't take you too long too see how the Baal Globe earthers react to their crumbling world-view.
