Dear Religion Moderator,

Instead of locking the thread, why not ban the poster who comes in and posts content-free attacks at other posters, who posts threats to become even more abusive (but within the rules), because he/she doesn't like the idea of shutting down the verbal abuse that goes on here most days?

Why do you permit bad posting behavior to drive out good posting behavior?

This thread has inspired some sorely needed discussion of an issue/issues that have been festering in the Religion Forum for some time. Allowing bad behaviour by some to put an end to that would, ironically, be one more example of that to which some of us have been objecting.
