I found it highly hypocritical that Catholic bashers, on the very thread where they were instructed to stop bashing Catholics, were thumbing their noses at Jim Robinson, insulting him and his moderators, and continuing to bash the very groups Jim specifically told them to stop bashing. They kept on bashing despite Jim's repeated warnings to stop. So they were banned.
That entire thread was pulled.
It has nothing to do with this thread, which preceded Jim's thread.
If I were to start this thread again today, I would have to be more careful in what I said, but these new guidelines came after this thread was finished.
Sorry, there's no connection between the two, Revel. You came too late to this party.
My guess is that things that were said on this thread have something to do(not everything) with some people leaving for religious bashing in the first place. And also who is to say that if this thread had never been posted then the hard feelings that led up to the thread by JR might never have come to the point of JR posting that thread? This is all I have to say on the matter.
