It is not about "luck". I am genuinely trying to understand whether this ban also stops all Catholics from criticizing Protestantism/evangelicalism by their "conversion" stories, or whether this is simply a one-sided ban.

Have you seen the Viking kitties? Are you pining for the fjords?
I don’t think you are using common sense FRiend. Jim Rob is not saying people can’t discuss or even debate religious issues. What he is saying is that a deliberate barrage of anti-Catholic posts, which HAS been ongoing for some time, needs to stop. And yes, there have been some Catholic posts over the years (I’ve been lurking here for a long time) that pushed the envelope. But, and I say this as a former Roman Catholic, the attack posts aimed at the Catholics have been by far the greater problem. Lately it’s been off the hook.
So yes, I would say that Catholics, and anyone else for that matter, needs to exercise a modicum of restraint when posting threads critical of other peoples’ religious beliefs. I remember a similar barrage of anti-Mormon threads. And there is a big difference between posting about someone converting into your church, and posting an article damning the members of someone else’s as Hell bound pagans.
The original statement seems clear enough, and the responses reinforce that.
It’s his site; he can make the rules.
Why is a conversion story an attack?
