You’ve been saving that thread for over a year?
No, it was especially memorable, so I searched it out.
You don’t think there’s anything it Paine’s writings on religion that would get him banned if expressed on a crevo thread?
I doubt it. I admit I haven't read The Age of Reason as a whole work, but I really believe the quotes I've seen from it are no worse than stuff I've watched the mods tolerate for months or years here. I also doubt he accused George Washington or John Adams of being traitors to the Republic, but xcamel, Coyoteman and CE2949BB were accusing creationists of that on a regular basis and weren't banned for it.
I'm not complaining about the mods. I'm saying the persecution isn't there, and whining about the hypothetical persecution of a dead man is still whining.
