“I don’t see how this can be construed as an attack on anyone in this Forum (unless Martin Luther is a FReeper).”
I did not say it was an attack on a FReeper. It is an attack on one side of an ecumenical discussion in the very article by the other side. In other words, on a thread that prohibits antagonism, the article stacks the deck, skirting the historic rules and practices of ecumenical threads.
Historically, FreeRepublic Religion Forum rules and moderator decisions have thrown out antagonistic articles when posted as ecumenical. I’m asking for a response from the RM - and I accept his or her decision.
Even your statement that I am responding to is antagonistic toward one side and is by definition, not ecumenical and should be removed by the RM.
Having said that, it was evidently the intent of the original poster to keep the discussion respectful and academic. Everyone should try to meet those goals.
