What are you looking for - a license to flame?

Every post is judged, insofar as is humanly possible, on its own merits. I'm not about to make a ruling on some future possibility.

IIRC, between the time the post in question here was made, and the time I was made aware of it, the thread had been moved from the Religion Forum to The Smokey Backroom. Further, a lot happened on this thread which made this particular post fairly mild in comparison.

Instead of looking for ways to skate close to the line, why not try to live within the rules?

With all due respect, I have had posts pulled -with no explanation- that have not even remotely been flames or attacks.

In contrast, I have seen blatant attacks go unchallenged.

I'm just wondering about what seems to be some inconsistancy.

Earlier this morning, you removed a post from Wrigley and instructed him to "Stop trying to start a flame war.".

I've seen the post and I talked to Wrigley -there was no way that post was remotely "baiting" -nor did Wrigley intend to "start a flame war".

It was a serious question put to Alamo-Girl in an attempt to get her to clarify her position.

Due to the fact that you removed his post and responded to him as you did, other readers who did not have the opportunity to read that post are left with the impression that Wrigley was playing games.

Yet, BigMack's taunting post remained because he included a smiley face and said he was joking an hour later.

I don't get it.
