How would this theoretical Catholic Moderator handle Catholic troublemakers? How would that be different than how the current Religion Moderator handles them?
I think more respect could have been expressed [especially since the OP had been with Free Republic for over ten years]....Sarcasm runs rampant over Free Republic and it can be very funny, but religion moderators, in my opinion, should not be on board to post this sort of dialogue [under their own name] during their "work" hours.
Let's (re)state this one in rule form:
"Religion Moderators should not engage in sarcastic posts, even when posting under private (i.e. not moderator) accounts."
What threads have you seen this behavior occur on? I originally thought you were referring to this thread, but there have been no moderator posts on this thread, except for those quoted by the OP, and those quoting the OP's quotes.
On the subject of sarcasm and respect, tell me this - how much respect do you believe that the current Religion Moderator is due? Do you believe that your fellow Catholics are showing an adequate level of respect to the current one today?
