Caucus threads are closed to any poster who is not a member of the caucus. If it says “Catholic Caucus” and you are not Catholic, do not post to the thread. However, if the poster of the caucus welcomes you, I will not boot you from the thread.

Does this mean that you can now have closed caucuses for people who are "Ex-Catholic" "Ex-Protestant" "Ex-Mormon" or"Ex-Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster", whatever, to discuss such things as "Why I don't believe in the Great Spaghetti Monster Anymore"?

Or does it just mean there is one more "protected" class?

Also, if the RM makes a call on content, what's to stop another mod from coming along later and reversing or changing that call?

No, a Caucus thread must not compare beliefs or speak for others beliefs, e.g. "ex" whatever.

An "ex" thread can however be posted as Ecumenic, but do not use mocking terms in the tag.

IMO the more we divide the forum into sub-categories it will eventually devolve into chaos.

Want to take bets that six months from now the "Town Square" dsignation will be dropped entirely as being "too disruptive?"

"Ex-Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster"

I'm a member...or at least was.
