If the term "RC" were banished, NYer's post here would also have to be removed.
As another example, Chick is not allowed on the forum at all. If one side cannot use it, neither can the other.
I now understand why you don't banish the term, I just don't understand why self-proclaimed Christians would consider using it once they are made aware of its history. Perhaps it is just far easier to call oneself a Christian than to actually be one.
As you have wisely, reasonably and skillfully demonstrated, such rules are manageable and fittingly applied evenhandedly.
You have somehow—obviously by Holy Spirit, imho, managed to be a good disciplinarian without losing the human heart and moderately flexible practicality lots of authorities never seem to get the hang of.
I suspect that SOME of the MarkBsnr Capitalizing violations may have happened by too quick a typing and no proof reading. Nevertheless, it’s fitting to apply the rule across the board to that kind of thing.
And the business about thin skinned folks being the disrupters on the open threads is, again, exceedingly sensible and practical.
OF COURSE there will always be folks who NEED to !!!!CONTROL!!!! others
per THEIR sensibilities, priorities and values regardless of who’s turf it is and regardless of who’s in charge. That you manage those aspects of herding all us cats—that you manage those aspects well is probably a miracle day in and day out. Not for your paucity of skills but for our abundance of orneriness.
Given the perjorative use of the contraction RC, I would suggest that it not be allowed. If it means that NYer’s post be removed, so be it, from my perspective. NYer may have a different POV, so I would invite her to post on this.
