Then I’d have to say that you are misusing the purpose of the caucus label.

But how on earth can you justify that in your mind as a reason for posting when all you do is post threads critical of the Catholic church and the pope, yourself?

How are you protecting Catholicism from attack when by every indicator we have seen on these threads, you are doing the most attacking yourself?

Here are the RF guidelines on caucus threads from the RM’s homepage:
https://www.freerepublic.com/~religionmoderator/

“Religion Forum threads labeled “Caucus”

Caucus threads are closed to any poster who is not currently and actively a member of the caucus group.

For instance, if it says “Catholic Caucus” and you are not currently, actively Catholic, then do not post to the thread.

However, if the poster of the caucus invites you, I will not boot you from the thread.

The “caucus” article and posts must not compare beliefs or speak in behalf of a belief outside the caucus.

There is 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.”

Courtesy ping to the RM. Not trying to drag you into the discussion, but as per protocol, when someone is mentioned, they should be courtesy pinged. I don’t see that being a mod allows an exemption from that. Or would you prefer to not be pinged every time we talk about the RF guidelines?

I'm trying to protect Catholicism from a pope who is attacking it.

Thanks for asking.

I don’t need to be pinged every time the guidelines are discussed on a thread.

If there is an obvious strong disagreement on the guidelines, a ping would be fine.

Be aware that if I am pinged to a thread once, I will most likely check the whole thread.

Even on their HOMEPAGE?
