I would like to Invite everyone to a wonderful LDS site called LDS Discourse. This is a site that is dedicated to the discussion and intelligent discourse of the Gospel. All are welcome and we would love to see you there. Check it out.
Thank you
Acez

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

According to posting rule #2, Traveler would have to change his ways or risk being banned. While I'm not a fan of his particular style of writing, it seems a little harsh to me.

I am a little confused at to why you posted this here in a topic that has nothing to do with that

#1- Go to the indicated website.
#2- Navigate to the top section in forums, the one labeled "there must needs be rules".
#3- Click on the second subject labeled "announcement: please read".
#4- Read rule #2 in the list, where it says "Please do not spell God as such: G-d. To refer to the Savior, Jesus Christ, by his given name, Jehovah, in less than a reverent manner will not be tolerated. To do so will result in one formal warning. A repeat offense will result in a lifetime ban. "
#5- Now, come back to this site and look up Traveler in our members list. read his postings. When he refers to deity, he does not spell them out in full, specifically, he uses the exact spelling G-d to refer to God. He has his reasons for doing this, and he can explain it to you if he wishes to do so.
#6- My post was an observation that if Traveler were to post on that website, he would have to change his posting style or risk being banned by their administrators. I feel that kind of punishment would be a harsh sentence for someone who would otherwise be a model poster on that board.
Are you less confused by my posting yet? How can I make it more clear to you?

John Doe, the point being that the owner of the site makes the rules. Traveler has explained his reason for doing so due to the nature of his international posts and friends who are of other faiths and do not wish to see God or others names written in such a forum.
Traveler can post where he sees fit in a manner he chooses and like most observe the rules. Everything that I have seen Traveler post would believe me to feel that Traveler feels the same way.

i can't speak for susie, but i'm laughing a bit right now.
john doe, when first read your post i misunderstood and thought the it in this sentence "While I'm not a fan of his particular style of writing, it seems a little harsh to me." refered to traveler's writing being harsh not the rule in response to it. so i viewed your statment as being rather critical to traveler (rather than the rules of the site) which seemed a little out of place and uncalled for. with the further explaination i do understand what you are saying now. lol

am i missing some sarcasm here???  i'm not predisposed to think anything about you. i read through it very quickly and misunderstood. didn't think anything about you as a person (other than maybe in a bad mood or a personal tiff between you and traveler). i figured if traveler had a problem with it he would say something. i was just admitting my foolish mistake. thought it might help you understand why the clarification was needed, for me at least. i still can't speak for susie. not trying to start something, just thought my misunderstanding was humorous and shared. if anything it speaks poorly of me, that i could miss something that seems so obvious now. lol at the minimum confirms to those who suspected i was a blonde.
