True. My mistake. It was posted in Extended News. BUT--it was posted as News that the threat level was elevated to Red. That's not honest.
The other issue is whether info. from AP & WorldNet renders a news piece a matter of extended news. It just might.
I don't think so. I think the whole thing is rendered as a scare tactic, and I think the moderators were wise to deal with it as they did. I can't believe this was posted as news at all, but the moderators have no initial control over that.
The other is that you don't understand the religious forum. It's primarily theological and this piece isn't. It's about an alert level and some want to pray about it.
I want to pray about a lot of things, one of which is ignorance and the over-reaction which stems from that. What happened here was wrong, and the mods caught it. They not only relegated it to the religion forum but ultimately relegated it to chat. Deal with it.
