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.
