I am not aware of Catholics flocking to Baptist, Lutheran, Calvinist or any other non-Catholic threads and telling the participants that they are wrong simply because of their denomination. If this does happen, then I think it is disgraceful.

It happens all the time that Calvinists swarm to the Arminian threads and vice versa, Preterists to Dispensationalist threads and vice versa, x-Mormons to Mormon threads and vice versa, etc.

This is NOT a closed thread. Closed threads are devotionals, prayer threads and threads designated as a caucus for a particular confession.

On closed threads, challenges to the host confession are strictly not allowed. The assembly will not be disturbed.

This is an open thread. Challenges are allowed here, just like in a public square. Posters who take such challenges personally, should stay away from open threads and instead go to the closed threads - otherwise, every open thread he frequents is at risk of becoming a flame war.

Even atheists mount their challenges on open threads and surely seeing God referred to as a "pink unicorn" would cause an even greater offense (or should, but in fact rarely does, which indicates a deeper problem here.)

On open threads, the poster must "suffer the adverse testimony" and mount a rational argument to debunk misunderstandings, errors, false doctrine, etc.

I was unaware of Catholics swarming non-Catholic threads to the extent that Catholic threads are swarmed.
