Yep. All it takes is one person to whine. It doesn't matter that the article is satire. It doesn't matter if every other post on the thread found it in good fun, even Catholics. It doesn't matter because all it takes is for one person's feelings to get hurt and pound on the abuse button until someone finally pulls it so they'll shut up. We need a separate Whine button.

apparently, it just takes one person to whine to get someone suspended.

Massive organized religion has been the bane of Christianity since its creation. Much like the bureacratic monster the Fed. Gov. has become.

Post #6 is a JOKE!

I'm glad you re-posted it, Gawain. What's amazing is that those who claimed to be compassionate Christians have neither tolerance nor sense of humor.

I never touched the abuse button. But I see when your ox is gored, you whine. Typical. V's wife.

Years ago in journalism school, I learned that for satire to be good, it had to have some truth to it. You piece on the Catholic Church was good satire. Some obviously to offense to it and whined to the moderators. The threads that get posted from The Onion can be more offensive to some but remain in the forum. You would think that Catholics would be more upset that their offerings and donations are going to payoff victims of pervert Priests rather than helping spread God's Word in the community.
