Let me ask you, why is it always the RC posters who become "offended" or "outraged" and file abuse complaints. I never see Protestants trying to get posters banned.

I think there's some sad truth to that. Good question.

Though the Calvinist/Armenian threads can get pretty fierce against the Armenians, too. Some contend the Armenians are fierce but I don't seem to see that so much for some reason. Some might contend I'm blind to it but I don't think that's an adequate explanation. LOL.

I know, both sides can get after it pretty good sometimes. I never see abuse complaints though. In my personal opinion it seems to be one sided and only serves to censor debate and discussion.

In response to this I've found that the best way for me to respond as soon as someone starts with the "I'm outraged" or "I'm offended" is to stop posting to that person, or thread. I'm sure that is part of what they want to accomplish (stifling debate), but I don't want to miss out on opportunities like this thread where a very interesting argument is being presented and the chance to learn something new is present.
