I now know what happened at Charisma and I will not be coming back. Read my email to and from them here;

Charisma, can I (afchief) have permission to post again?

Hello afchief

We had removed your account in an attempt to try and bring some civility back into our comments section. You were only one of multiple people removed in this effort. It worked. Although there is still bickering and disagreeable people the level of vitriol is down and the number of conversions that remain civil through to the end is up significantly.

You had a tendency to pick fights, inject yourself into other people's conversions (degrading them into arguments) and belittling or mock people who you didn't agree with. You were almost always in "attack mode" and that's not what we're looking for. If you only posted once in while we might have been able to ignore it but you were so prolific in your posting that you often seemed to take over the comments section of some articles, driving away people who just wanted to have a real or civil conversion without being attacked.

The thought of restoring your access makes me (and the other moderators) nervous. We don't want to give up the gains we've made our community. We are developing other steps to further stress the need for civility.

This is one of those situations where if we were to restore your access it would require that you make a commitment to change how you act and treat others on our sites. This would require not only that you don't do what you did before but also that you don't let others drag you down (ie, if someone you disagree with tries to pick a fight, you don't bite, you take the higher ground, even if that means ending/ignoring the conversion). Only you know if you can make that sort of change and only you can decide if it's worth it.

Civility? You mean being politically correct? Was Jesus civil when He said "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father." John 8:44? Was Jesus civil when He said “ “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.

Does speaking the truth scare you Mr Glaser? Apparently so! You don't want lies confronted. You do not want sin confronted. You want to be politically correct. How sad! Paul said in Ephesians 5:11 Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; I guess to be "civil" we are to embrace, encourage, and love those who practice such fruitless acts and not expose them. Is this what Charisma is all about?

I was told a long time ago by several Spirit filled Christians to get off of your website because of false doctrine. I truly now see why.

In closing do not restore my account.

In Jesus, afchief

Hello afchief,

Your reply is a perfect example of why you're not mature enough to return to our community. I'll gladly keep you banned. I hope that one day you'll find peace.

Mature enough? Wow! Your site truly has become politically correct and afraid of the truth. The proof is in the pudding by who you allow to post on your site. Having people like Mensa Member who has changed his name several times on your site and claims to be a Christian but lies continuously shows me that you have a double standard.

Last month myself, Ax2root, Adam in Christ and another poster met on another site and discussed the reasons we were banned. We came to the conclusion that we are the few that do not separate our faith from anything and are not afraid to speak out about it. It is quite apparent Mr Glaser you are. You and your staff are more concerned about being politically correct then standing for truth and righteousness as evident of your previous email. Sad!

No I have no desire to come back to a website where you are not allowed to speak truth. Where you are not allowed confront lies and sin. It is quite apparent we live in a time where deception has never been more prevalent.

In Jesus, afchief
