Posters are often contentious but they must not “make it personal” either by mind reading, attributing motive or focusing on another Freeper, personally (ad hominems.)

...then please indulge me, Mr Moderator, and explain to me how a forum that disallows ‘contending’ against ‘the contentious’is expected to have any true philosophical or metaphysical value at all...?

.this approach appears to be coddling those who take wildly uninformed potshots at particular religious thought, at the expense of those who make the attempt to directly address the snipers and their blatherings...after all, is not ridicule a valuable tool against the ridiculous...?

You will find many well educated, articulate, reasoning posters on the RF. You will also find a few who throw spitwads because they have no ammunition. Engage the former, ignore the latter.
