It doesn't seem like Icarus hoping for a god to end ajax's life is that big a deal when Icarus doesn't much seem to believe a god actually exists.

It's possible people are blowing this out of proportion. And it's not like ajax isn't wishing for others to die. All's fair in love and misinformation.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Ajax posted a statement like this?

Better yet, just die already.

Do you have a link? I'll report it also, along with Icarus' multiple such posts. Wishing death on another human being should not be part of all that is "fair."

My contention for some time is this is exactly the problem belief. Put another way, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

Hey, Dr. Shades!

There are STILL multiple reports outstanding on posts from January where Icarus is wishing death on people (see the OP) and now he has started up again, under his new name:

You're an idiot and a waste of oxygen. Humanity will be so much better off when you're dead.
I've reported that post as well, so can you PLEASE make a damned decision? if you find it acceptable for people to wish others dead, then close out the reports and have the everloving guts to say outright that wishing people were dead does not violate any of our rules.

It's bad enough you are letting the trolls take over, and I know full well from your jubilee decision that you prefer the dubious entertainment value that they provide, but please. Can we draw the line at wishing people dead, or not?

Um, these recent posts from "Hawkeye" are from the same trolls. It isn't me.

Icarus never "wished death on people." You're being disingenuous and hyperbolic for effect.

I don't know what to say any more. I put out a non-official call for mods here in Paradise and it doesn't seem like people give a damn. Lem you are someone who frequents Terrestrial. Do you see these kinds of shenanigans happening there?

Also, I tried to message you earlier today and your messages are shut off. I hope that you are just shutting out the noise and that I haven't offended you in some way.

Anyway, yeah. This place is standing at the precipice of hell. Any newcomer who has lurked prior would think there weren't any rules here at all.
