[Revelation 911]

maybe I should have directed the question to them - mistakenly thought I was speaking with the same person

I've not seen any of the threads you mention in #325, but if I do I imagine I would follow Lead Moderator's lead.

...theres and Airplane Leslie Neilson joke there....surely, Shirley LOL

am I reading it correctly them when the lead mod states

If you are talking about threads "For Catholics Only" or "For Protestants Only" or the like, I pull those when I see them. Thanks, LM to include "g.r.p.l." calvin threads in which only favorable aspects of calvinism are put forth and non calvinists commenting otherwise are directed to a duplicate SBR thread.

simply stated - will participation in g.r.p.l. threads in the relig forum by non calvinists be construed as disruptive and will g.r.p.l. threads be allowed to stand?....beacuse if Im reading the LM's comments correctly, g.r.p.l. calvin only threads will be zapped -

Threads restricted to one group or faction only, according to the Lead Moderator, will be pulled. It should be obvious to all why this is so - it's impossible to enforce.

However (and this is my take alone on this ) if a thread is posted, for example, for Calvinists to discuss, largely among themselves, the nuances of total depravity, and someone from another faith tradition comes along to poke fun or worse - and is asked politely to desist by those there for serious discussion - then that person should do as requested. On the other hand, if someone comes along with the obvious intent to learn, he or she should be warmly welcomed.

You were reading me correctly. But just like the SM (whose lead I am following, insert different Airplane! joke here), I am flexible. If the overwhelming consensus of the religion forum is that the "insert-group-here only" threads are acceptable, then we can reconsider.

But if we do go that route, we're going to have to have a lot of discussions on how y'all are going to self police it so that the staff here doesn't get overwhelmed with it.
