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.
Only after about 1100 posts was the title changed to "A word of caution regarding the bashing of Mormons, Catholics, Jews, Calvinists, Baptists....." because of complaints from those camps that while Mormoms, Catholics and Jews specifically could not be bashed, now it seemed it was OK to start bashing Calvinists and Baptists. This was after my thread was "over."
Originally, it was quite clear that the folks that were specifically being bashed were Mormons, Catholics, and Jews.
Now that being said, I would ask you to simply read this thread carefully, paying close attention to my many posts. I was specifically commended on this thread for being patient, charitable, and not baiting or bashing.
I'm making some tough, unpopular statement about abortion and its roots, but I am not bashing protestants.
Even the opening article bends over backwards to be meek and mild so as to not insult protestants by its message.
Have an open mind. Read the thread.
Do not judge me by my behavior on the other thread.
I was simply taking out my frustrations on a few Freepers who have dogged me and other good Catholics here and bashed our faith at every turn, thread after thread, here on Free Republic, for many months now.
Every man has his breaking point. I reached mine on that thread, after being so calm and civil for almost a month on this thread.
