I have no tolerance for posters coming onto a caucus thread claiming that they were once baptized into that belief and therefore are still a member of it due to the belief saying they are - even though they are not active in that belief and notoriously dispute that belief on "open" Religion Forum threads. The same holds for those who claim they are members because of their ancestry even though they are not active in that belief and notoriously dispute it on "open" RF threads.

That behavior is finessing the guidelines, it is flame baiting. No dice.

Also, I have little to no tolerance for non-members of a caucus coming onto the caucus thread to challenge whether or not it should be a caucus. Gross disruption usually follows.

If you question whether the article is appropriate for a caucus designation, send me a Freepmail. I'll get to it as soon as I can.

Posters who are not members of a caucus but wander onto the thread without causing a disturbance are often "under the radar" of the mods. If we notice one and the regular members are welcoming him, we generally leave it alone.

Excellent points. Maybe something like that needs to go on your profile page too.

Please consider it.

“still a member of it due to the belief saying they are”

Shouldn’t we hold each denomination by their own standards. That seems to be what the rule of law states and a few Scripture verses.

Just dropping by to say I’m on your side, and you can have a Guinness and a kitten any time you like!

Thank you. Maybe this (or something similar) could be posted to the Caucus Rules, so that all who Caucus could link to it ...

That's good to know, I won't lie and say I haven't been tempted to post on a Caucus thread using the fact that I was baptised a member of that religion as an argument of "legitimacy" shall we say? ;^)

Thanks for all you do, and as another poster mentioned, this would be good information to have on your page.

Just sayin'.

So where do people who were baptised and confirmed as Catholics go to protest those who say they are Catholics always and forever? If what the Cathoic posters say is true, then we can do it on the Catholic Caucus threads. If it isn’t true, they should stop saying it.
