However, what you did not relate is an important aspect. The referenced "hunting down" was a hypothetical, and the immediate response to that possibility was a resounding negative from all quarters. Many of those who post there did not "flee" as was suggested in an earlier post but instead were "cast out" from this forum.

The site that you would vilify is a staunch supporter of the right of people to speak freely in open discussion, and thereby to reveal the weaknesses of their arguments as well as what passes for their faith.

That's pretty interesting because just some time ago a FReeper who used to be a member of DC told how he left the site because or the behavior of the other DCers and his family's concerns for their safety. And he said it publicly on FR.

If one of your own feel that way, then I'd say that there is a legitimate concern.

Curious indeed. It would appear that even sites as apparently diametrically opposed as these two can have the same problems of disruptors, stalkers, and generally bed-mannered people.

A Walk With God

God and I were walking,
Along the endless sands,
Of the beaches of forever,
On my familiar span.

I had a million questions,
He had one answer, "Yes!"
Whatever's not a small reward,
Is just a simple test.

I try to walk here every day.
We watch the time and tide.
The rhythm of days is lulling,
Just I, and with Him beside.

I have no fear of fortune,
As We are walking here,
For peace and joy encompass me,
Because my God is near.
