By personal you mean????

Review your posts to CC, I think they are over the Top.

Please apologize for talking about her in such negative terms, if you don't mind, I will point out some of the entries I think were too much.

There isn't a bloody thing you can do about it other than to sputter, blather, lie, complain, and eat sour grapes.

Worse yet, you continue:

Does your family know that you excrete such vile offal on this site? Misfit is as misfit does - your outnumbered in your own neighborhood and around the world, and nothing you can say or do can change that. Sleep well...

This last is intentionally hurtful and I would publicly encourage you to take a more Christlike tone.

I have promised on other threads to always upbraid those of my faith that I see as going over the line, IMHO you have crossed it in your last two posts to CC.

Just a hint, If you click on the Religion Moderator's name His / Her page here has excellent definitions of what is and is not acceptable.

Thank you for your support here, but please do so in a fashion that keeps to the rules and tone that is appropriate to the forum, again, thank you.

Thank you Delphi.

I do appreciate your efforts to make the tone of these interchanges less “personal.”

I understand how difficult it must be when someone attacks a belief you hold dear. I understand tracer’s anger. He seems to not understand the difference between an attack of someone personally, and an attack on someone’s belief system. Every day, each of us are required to re-examine a belief we hold; Abortion, Global Warming, Death Penalty, Capitalism; Right to Life; etc. We should be able to discuss these issues in a rational tone using reason, and logic, and emotion. FreeRepublic forbids the use of personal attacks in making our point. It makes for impassioned yet polite discourse. I thank you Jim and the Moderators here, for giving us a meeting place for these discussions.

I have broad shoulders. I’ve carried the burden of the belife of my community and family that I am involved in gross sin, that I am weak, that I am vile, that I am lost and no good can come from me, simply because I no longer believe in Mormonism and I talk openly about why I’ve come to that conclusion. I am used to it. I am so thankful that Christ has saved me from the endless works, ordinances and covenants that Mormonism requires to earn exaltation for yourself and your dead family members. It was exhausting, demanding and very self-focused. But I didn’t leave because it was hard....I left because it wasn’t truth.

It is actually good that those outside Mormonism are seeing first hand the emotions involved when one chooses to leave Mormonism. We don’t see these types of attacks when someone goes from Presbyterian into Methodism, or even Catholicism into Assembly of God. Christians are Christians...unless of course they are Mormon, then one is not allowed to deviate in any way or they face the risk of ostracism.

This is the second time tracer has threatened the owner of this site with, “if you don’t play my way, I’m taking my ball and going home!”

I wonder what he thinks of that?
