Thanks. Lately, I've thought the forum has been degenerating into too many ad hominems.

As long as you don't stifle theological discussion (and we should be able to say "you're wrong because such and such"), and as long as we are free to probe the backgrounds of the founders of our denominations, I have no problem with your moderation. (i.e., we should be able to post historical info about the popes, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley, Joseph Smith, etc., even if the historical record is offensive. I have no problem if someone wants to post an expose of the life of J.N. Darby, the guy who founded my own denomination. Inflammatory rhetoric should be verboten, however -- e.g. the recent obbsession with the "Holy Foreskin" last month.)

Well if they posted the correspondence between Luther and Erasmus they would shut down the forum..Heck if Jesus came and posted His rebuke to the Pharisees it would be moved to the smokey back room
