No it isn't. It is one of the standard methods on FR for recognizing a troll.

So much for the argument that clerical celibacy “causes” homosexuality and pedophilia among clergymen. I guess that belonging to a church that permits clergy to marry isn’t enough to keep some of them from falling into sin.

Well n00b, it's really important, but you can only find out why when you know the sicrit handshake.

Not really - it's S.O.P. around here because of the many insufferable idiot libs (particularly those that like to post stuff they think is embarassing to conservatives) who infiltrate the site for nefarious purposes.

If you are one of those, please take a hike.

It could even be someone we’ve met before under a different name.
