The phrase you used "have the balls to come out and say it" is potty language on the Religion Forum.

On your other point, certain terms which may be offensive are used in official documents, articles or correspondence which are subject to debate on "open" threads in the Religion Forum. Those terms often become part of the poster's language and beliefs. These include the terms Romanist, Roman Catholic and Papist.

Likewise, beliefs which are offensive to some are subject to debate on "open" threads in the Religion Forum. Those holding the belief are immediately at odds with those who find the belief offensive per se.

Furthermore, when one belief spawns from another it is common for both to condemn the other in the harshest terms possible: heretic, anathema, cult, Satanic, apostate, etc.

If a Freeper is offended by the knowledge that some other Freepers' religious beliefs condemn his own to perdition he should neither read nor post on "open" threads in the Religion Forum.

Thick skin is required for debate on "open" threads in the Religion Forum.

Thin skinned posters should instead read and post to Religion Forum threads labeled "prayer" "devotional" "caucus" or "ecumenical."

Well, if “have the balls to come out and say it” is potty language, I stand corrected. The phrase is in the common usage now and not strictly an anatomical reference. It is used to denote courage, forthrightness, and usually used in the male sense of having honor usage. I will attempt to be more careful in my colloquialisms in the future.

As for the other point- Thick skin is for “Romanist” or “Papist” and thin skin is for “He who must be named.”

Got it.
