It is NOT an attack on a Freeper (i.e., making it personal) but the poster's own beliefs about something. Though you may not agree with what WVKayaker says, don't you at least agree he/she has a RIGHT to say what he/she thinks? Are you really wanting a Moderator or would a Censor better satisfy? And a Roman Catholic censor armed and ready to zot anyone who voices their OWN opinion? Please tell me you understand the difference here.

I think the OP said it best:
I have posted on and off this site for over ten years. Every time I come back here I think to myself, “Wow, FR is one of the only sites telling it like it is when it comes to politics!” But then the OCD religious posters take control over and over again.
So one has to ask themselves [as a poster], am I being obsessive by repeating myself over and over again? Or am I actually helping someone out other than myself through my inclinations?

Or as my husband put it, "If only the Protestants would come up with something new, we, as Catholics, could dialogue with them; but it's always the same old thing."

When those "beliefs" are erroneous, they need to be addressed. Correcting the sinner is not “Being judgmental.” It is an essential work of charity. And when that individual, after being corrected, continues to post the same falsehoods, then these must be considered an attack.
