Some but not all of the posts you itemized were making the thread "about" you which is also a form of "making it personal." Others were speaking arms length or putting words in the mouth of a diety, etc. - such things are not "making it personal."

For something to be "making it personal" on the Religion Forum, it must be speaking of another Freeper, personally. Condemnations of dieties, beliefs, religious authorities, groups of believers are all allowed on "open" RF threads.

Forms of "making it personal" include: attributing motives to another Freeper personally, reading another poster's mind, making the thread "about" him or yourself.

That said, all warnings apply to everyone in the sidebar on the RF.

Your post 303: If you can’t leave others be, then you can expect the same.

The underlying principle of "two wrongs do not make a right" applies on the RF.

For instance, if an RF poster attributes motive to you it does not authorize you to attribute motive to him in reply.

Well, one wrong doesn’t make a right either. I really don’t understand why you allow these anti-Mormon threads to go on on this website, you are allowing one religion to bash another religion, but I guess it’s ok because the Bible commands them to do it...

But you know what? It’s offensive. And it makes the people on the attack look incredibly small. In fact from my perspective what goes on here harms Christianinty as a whole, but that is just my opinion on the matter.

Anyhow, Religion Moderator, I do appreciate your reasonable responses. I know you have a particulary tough job moderating this section, So I’ll not make it any tougher for you. I’ve said what I have to say, so I’ll walk away now.

Good day to you and thanks kindly.
