I would also suggest you ask people to identify their position, Mormon or not Mormon, I am a Mormon.

DU, as you know I am former mormon...I DO think your suggestion is not really appropriate. Some people would consider it a breach of the anonymonity of this site. And hoppity might get some replies he/she may not like to that question.

I, personally, make it a point to not try and label the FReepers I debate with, even though most of the time I can tell if they are mormon.

LOL! So saying you are a Mormon, or not identifies you?

As to the answers being upsetting, well that would tell Hoppity how to deal with their other answers. Thanks for the advice, but my advice stands, feel free to give your own. I will point out to Hoppity that you have identified yourself as an ex-Mormon, and now you are asking not to have to identify yourself, how is Hoppity to know? You could speak of when you were baptized and then state a doctrine in which we do not believe as your belief. you may be able to tell, but for a beginner on these threads, a team roster can be very useful.

I commend you for your piety in not judging, however, you have a depth of knowledge taut Hoppity does not.

I have not advocated "Making it personal" I have advocated knowing the perspective of posters before evaluating their posts.
