It's back! My humongous [technical term] study of What's behind "Left Behind" and random other stuff.

By the way — I'm genuinely curious — why do you keep spelling "slave" as "sl@ve"? It's not a swear word in any form of English that I know of, and it definitely isn't a banned word in this forum.

Heh. Habit from another religious website called Patheos (with a comment-software called Disqus). If NarniaWeb is the suitable-for-all-ages book club in the church library ...

then Patheos is the church basement, where the budget is wept over and the Friends of Bill W meet. In other words, it can get loud. It isn't even necessarily intentional swearing. Sometimes it's just a frank discussion of sensitive subjects.

They have nowhere near enough moderators, so they added a software nicknamed "the nanny filter." The running joke is that the filter has a dirtier imagination than do most of the posters. (The product probably traveled back through time from the film DEMOLITION MAN, which has a nanny-dictatorship.)

True example: you cannot type the word "constitution." You must type it "const1tution." (Never mind the species of Puzzle the Donkey.)

If the filter thinks you have typed a bad word, your post is made invisible and cannot be seen, ever. But it cannot keep up with all the work-arounds, such as sl@ves or, better yet, "prisoners with jobs." (cf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xa-zIIuPes )

I hope everyone here appreciates the hard work and discretion of our NarniaWeb moderators. Hug
