And people wonder why I no longer post on CREVO threads or even bother to venture into the Religion forum.
It ain't worth getting the boot over.

It's rather like trying to convince the two sides of a chess game that a compromise is in order.
"Can't we all just be gray?"
The real barrier to communication on those threads is the smug, condescending, supercilious attitude of superiority of those in attendance.
An attitude of appreciation for wonder, awe, and mystery is given very little coin, yet that is the path that wisdom would follow.
That's why I usually just glance in the door, smile, and walk away whistling.

Religion has cleaned up surprisingly well.
The "no trolling on devotional threads" has done quite a bit to maintain civility.
Also the mod has teeth.
