I find them a fair balance between the need for free speech maintaining intellectual honesty on the one hand and civility in an orderly but anonymous forum on the other hand.

Thank you for your support.
I have just read the religion moderator's comments together with the guidelines for the religious forum.Absolutely. Or if not (the absolute being reserved for the One and Only) then those guidelines...are still excellent.I find them a fair balance between the need for free speech maintaining intellectual honesty on the one hand and civility in an orderly but anonymous forum on the other hand.
You yourself have a history on this forum (FR in general) of being both well spoken, and rather unceasingly polite to all.
On any open thread, as far as I'm concerned, you are, absolutely (small case letter "a", since this be mere human opinion) more than welcome to contribute comment in any manner which you deem best. Conforming to the spirit of the just-now-spoken-of guidelines, would come as naturally to yourself as a duck takes to water, I would venture to guess. In that, you would possible end up embarrassing a few by default, being as your offerings could likely as not appear more as Able's, rather than just yet another re-arising of Cain's.
However, as fair warning (just in case you may not have noticed how religion forum threads can at instances proceed) to use another comparison --- one can encounter those whom would seem to chose to not be themselves exactly swimming in the same waters (apply the spirit to themselves first and foremost) but instead paddle around in their own rickety canoes, using their own hand-crafted paddles not only for propulsion and travel, but for noisy splashing (sometimes trying to drown?) little duckies not of their own feather, if not venturing more direct smacks at otherwise relatively harmless little ducks, with those same "paddles".
a hockey game breaks out.with admittedly, it being a bit difficult to skate (avoid the thinner portions, if possible) if one truly enough at that moment has their feet more properly shod [ahem] in preparation.
now just where did i put those jerusalem cruisers i once wore...?
