Jim permits this. He is the owner. That’s my understanding.
Yes, he does, but don't you think that his graceful permission is taken for granted and abused a lot of time? Put the shoe on the other foot for a minute and imagine the Free Republic Religion Forum consisting of MOSTLY all Protestant-flavored threads or anti-Roman Catholic articles. Would you feel comfortable sending your friends here or would you hesitate or warn them first that, if they went to the RF, they shouldn't think FR is a Protestant only website?
Combined, I wonder how much money the Catholic contingent donates here regularly? Does it make up for the domination of the Forum by them?
