Yeah, that was the one where some were permitted to come in and trash the thread, the first such posting at #3 while there was no known reference to anything challenging anything. Then others maintained that the title alone was so inflammatory that , in essence, no rules applied. Just believing what we believe and saying so is an offense to some.

Apparently so, given some of the posts I saw on that thread.

I went ahead and removed 8,9 and 19 which addressed other confessions so the caucus can be maintained. If you'd rather have it opened, let me know.

The material on a link counts. For instance, if the website from which an article is posted includes links to Jack Chick material, it will be pulled.

Likewise, on the News Forum, if the link includes pornographic material, it will be pulled.

As to consistency in the application of Religion Forum guidelines, please be advised that I was on vacation last week. The Admin Moderators on duty used their best judgment in handling the notoriously hot thread.

Moreover, we have a policy of "stare decisis" - so that moderators do not disturb actions previously taken by other moderators.

For the record, unless the title includes a direct affront the caucus will not be broken on my watch. It would take something like "Protestants are heretics [Catholic Caucus]" to fail the test.
