I believe I can say that from the negative response I get when I complain to them. Therefore, I think it is time to expose and identify some of the practices of these Internet Christian barbarians.<\/p>\n<p>You may qualify as one of the Internet Christian barbarians if you claim to be a Christian ministry and then try to charge people for almost all basic Christian information on your website.\u00a0 In my opinion, this is like charging people at the door of a church. <strong>If almost everything on your Christian website can only be viewed for a price you are not allowing the poor in the door.<\/strong> That seems like a rather barbarian Internet practice to me. I am not saying you should not charge for books or\u00a0 newsletters or that you should not advertise or ask for donations. Those working full time in the Christian ministry do need to make a living. However, civilized Christian websites should also remember the poor.<\/p>\n<p>You qualify as one of the Internet Christian barbarians <strong>if material on your website is blocked by some moving box that blocks our view in order to try to force us to click on it before we can even read your information.<\/strong> I will go elsewhere for information before I will appease these barbarians using these very annoying\u00a0 and intrusive practices on the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>You qualify as one of the Christian barbarians if you do not abide by proper Internet protocol and do the barbaric practice of\u00a0 just <strong>re-posting articles of other Christian authors taken from the author&#8217;s own websites without permission<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t you barbarians understand that you are creating duplicate context in the Internet indexes? Have you webmasters never heard of the proper Internet protocol of clipping a portion of an article and providing a link to the rest? At least if you must copy the entire article that someone else wrote and posted learn how to use\u00a0 the <strong>&#8220;noindex&#8221; <\/strong>command\u00a0 so the author&#8217;s article will not get dropped out of the main Internet indexes and replaced with yours because you created duplicate content. Also give the author&#8217;s website a link from the article. Seems that some Christian\u00a0 webmasters can learn the latest about how to make their websites look great but they can&#8217;t learn basic proper Internet protocol.<\/p>\n<p>You qualify as an Internet Christian Barbarian if you<strong> hot link or allow hot linking on your blog. <\/strong>This is all to common on some Christian Blogs. Don&#8217;t you people doing this know that that is bandwidth theft? <strong>It is stealing<\/strong>. If you see a image on a website that you want to use and if it is in the public domain then just download the image and upload the image to the blog where you want to put it. Don&#8217;t just hot link to a image on another website so that website has to provide the download each time someone clicks on that blog.<\/p>\n<p>You may qualify for being one of the Internet barbarian Christian websites if you<strong> frame articles on other websites through links on your website.<\/strong> When you do that nobody can get off your website without closing their browser. So why do you do it? These Christian barbarians probably want to dishonestly run up their statistics so they can use inflated figures to bilk those who advertise on their website.<\/p>\n<p>You qualify as one of the Internet Christian barbarians if the wording in your link misleads people to think they are clicking on some new information when you really are<strong> just using deceptive headlines to direct them to a place where you are trying to sell them something.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You certainly do qualify as one of the Christian Internet barbarians<strong> if you search the Internet for website email addresses so that you can add them to your own email list<\/strong>. If I wanted to sign up for your latest news letter or article I will do it myself. I should not have to take time to send you an email to get off a mailing list that I never signed up for<\/p>\n<p>These are just some of the barbaric practices done by Christians on the Internet there are others. But, unless these Christians are total dummies about Internet protocol they probably already know they use barbaric ways. They obviously like being members of the Internet Christian Barbarian Club (ICBC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certain Internet Christian webmasters, websites and Blogs are doing barbaric practices on the Internet and they seem to have no intention of changing their barbarian ways.
