Discuss the issues all you want, but do NOT make it personal.
Risky-Riskerdo, it seems like everywhere you go on the Religion Forum you bring out the worst in other posters, even the ones that have been around here for a long time and almost never get upset.
Contending for your faith on the Religion Forum is a good thing and is encouraged. Being contentious is not. Find ways to make your points without igniting flame wars.
All correspondents: I can and do intercede to keep posters from "making it personal." There is nothing I can do to keep posters from "taking it personally." Closed threads (devotionals, prayer threads and caucuses) are provided for posters who have thin skin or chips on their shoulders.
