If the Body of Christ is insulted, I will take it personally, as will most Catholics because of our understanding of the Communion of Saints.

As will many other Christians, for similar reasons. But one can take it personally without reacting in a unGodly way. "Be angry, and yet do not sin" (Ephesians 4:26). Likewise, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” (Romans 12:20). There are different ways to react; some are acceptable to the Mods, some are not.

"A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent."
- John Calvin

Yes, unfortunately (for the moderators and for us) the moderators are god here, and decide what is an "unGodly way" and what is not.

Every Religion Forum poster has the tool he needs to avoid offense because any thread can be declared a "caucus" either at the time of posting or afterwards by asking for the addition to the header/title.

A poster who takes things personally can and should stay on the closed (devotional, prayer and caucus) threads where he will not be offended. By wandering onto the Open threads with a chip on his shoulder, he is baiting a flame war.

Also, the poster of a Relifion Forum article - even a news item - can assure reverence by including the caucus label in the header.

I have no sympathy for Religion Forum posters who throw temper tantrums or wallow in self-pity when they have been informed of this protection and do not use it.

As will many other Christians

I have my doubts that it is "many", as I have seen here on FR. Maybe a few, but not many. Rarely have I seen anyone other than Catholics (and that term includes the Orthodox) come to the defense when something vile has been posted here about the BVM or any other saint.
