You're a fabulous supporter of FR, boatbums, but it's not a sorry excuse. It's become an issue and one that is causing a lot of personal grief.
It's truly a shame that FR must bear the financial brunt.
Perhaps the definition of "personal attacks" might be altered to include one's religion, given that followers take it as a personal attack?
I view ALL Christians in the same Heavenly light.
What a bunch of garbage.
I will post threads from time to time on a topic I think might be interesting. I used to try and review the articles closely to make sure they didn't mention any other denomination so I could post them as caucus threads. Almost every thread was protested by Roman Catholics to the RM. I even had a RC protest that the Apostles Creed was written by the Roman Catholic Church and the thread couldn't be a caucus because of it.
On one occasion I posted a thread as a Caucus thread which mentioned the Reformed. Instead of being contacted by the RM. A Reformed believer mailed me and pointed out what he thought was an error.
It's clear to me that RC's can play the "victim card" with the best of them, but it doesn't mean it's true. My experience has been that RC's start claiming they're being "bashed" when a Christian quotes Scripture.
I think there are already plenty of protections and safeguards built in with the way JR runs things here and for those who simply cannot tolerate reading criticism of their religion, there already IS an escape - DON'T CLICK ON THEM. Nobody has a gun to their heads forcing them to read, is there? There is plenty of warning given for what one can expect from OPEN RF threads, so no one has any excuse for getting their feelings hurt.
Why is it that on this thread the ONLY ones who are screaming for banning dissent are the Catholics? Do non-Caths just have thicker hides because we are used to having our faith attacked? I try not to let anyone get under my skin though I can't say I bat 1000 WRT that. I have had my share of personal spit-wads tossed my way and what they prompt me to do is pray for them. Choosing to participate on threads that may be contentious is something we must decide for ourselves. Unlike some here, I have learned and benefited from much that gets posted - both OPs and comments - and I don't take contention personally. I don't know them and they don't know me. I already KNOW it isn't personal - I don't expect someone showing up at my door with a gun just because I debated them on FR.
Instead of censorship, why don't we try for more sensitivity? I can disagree with someone and not be disagreeable.
