For the purpose of moderating a religious debate on this forum - it does not matter whether the poster is "for" or "against" a particular belief - as long as the thread is "open." It is not derogatory to be "anti" something.
I do not consider the term "anti" to be "making it personal" unless the poster is attributing motives which have not been declared by the Freeper targeted by the claim.
For instance, "your anti-atheist position..." may not be making it personal, if you have made it clear that you are against atheism.
On the other hand, if someone is attributing motives to you - and not merely summing up your position - let them know and ping me because that would be "making it personal."

Pinging myself to your clarification on the rules. Thanks, RM.
