God bless you and your intentions! Good luck making it stick. When I tried it I got a lot a posts acting like I was some sort of prude.

Duh! It's one of the 10 commandments.

Take it from me. You have about a 0% chance of catching angelo & Dave, Mack & Becky etc. by double posting :)

The problem isn't that we don't recognize it as a commandment. It's getting someone to realize that they are doing it without it being taken as a partisan stab at "the other side". And if you call "one of your own" on something, you may be accused of going easy on him/her etc.

Maybe you will meet with greater success. I think that the Orthodox on this thread have a little more credibility here since you "have no dog in this race" (like angelo). You will agree or disagree with either "side" as fits your theology. The dialogs I have seen with and regarding Orthodox belief has seemed very respectful (even when the Orthodox belief is identical to that which is held by the other "side" and would otherwise be derided).

By all means go to it! If the result is this thread becoming a better witness for other freepers who may stumble in... I'm all for it!
