"Not at all. Just having a hard time accepting some of their threads (like this one for example) that I find extremely offensive. I’m at the point that I’m not going to allow any protected LDS/Mormon Caucus threads on FR. You can’t post offensive stuff like this and expect Christians not to object to it. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to suspend or ban or deny any Christian from objecting to what he believes is the false prophecy of Joseph Smith. Whether Mormons will feel welcome here after this or not is completely up to them individually." Syncro - what you will not hear from du on this subject was that the poster JR was responding to was ABUSING the RF Caucus rules by posting articles hostile to Christianity in a forum that restricted comments. The mormon got into JR's face and he zotted him - like he has done to many other non-mormons.
Du's link is to another mormon who was zotted by JR because he was blog pimping and then personally attacking Freepers on the website he was trying to lure them to in order to ambush them. All the while this same mormon was dissing FR. Once again, du will not provide you the full context of the setting - because the facts speak loudly against him.
The Jews don't believe the Trinity, the First and Second century Christians Don't believe the Trinity, but in 325 AD, the Trinity becomes doctrine.
And of course du must lie about the numerous references and writings regarding the Trinity hundreds of years PRIOR to Nicea.

One person's abuse is another person's appropriate use.
JR is completely within his rights to Zot anyone not following the standards of conduct he has established here, it's his house. However, the comments made by JR on that thread and the subsequent removal of the Mormon Caucus were not in keeping with even handed and fair treatment. One poster gets an entire religion in trouble and get's opponents of that religion a free pass to break other rules?
It was not handled well. We all have bad days. I had hoped that upon reflection Jim would rectify the situation. He has not. His house is now one that I have had to block access to fro my kids where I used to encourage them to come and learn of politics here.
Actions have consequences. I make no excuses for PD, he was wrong. I also make no excuses for JR, he was wrong too.
BTW, Godzilla, ya gonna acknowledge that you were wrong here or not?

So, JR can make rules that allow the ambushing of Mormons, but getting people to come to anther site to be ambushed that's just evil mean and nasty! Hypocrite much?
JFTR, I don't approve of that tactic either, it's just where I could find the quote.
Lastly, the facts never speak loudly, they whisper with a still small voice. Satan is the guy with the megaphone, but you can still hear the truth if you listen.

There was indeed a schism in the church about it, but you can't find a thing written by the apostles or in the bible that does not have to be interpreted with circular logic to get to the Trinity. (Of course they meant the Trinity, because the Trinity is what they were talking about...)
