This Religion Forum thread is labeled “ecumenical” meaning no antagonism is allowed on this thread.

May I pose a question? I'll use a (hopefully) neutral example:

If an "ecumenical" thread includes a Buddhist, and in response to the Buddhist's claims about the truth and goodness of Buddhism someone posts that Gautama Buddha was a liar, a thief, an adulterer and (in general) a moral monster, then is the poster who is attacking the person of Gautama Buddha being "antagonistic"?

IOW, are ad hominem attacks directed against persons who are not participants on FR allowed?

If another Freeper is upset by remarks about a third party they are antagonistic.

Judgmental remarks about Hitler may not upset anyone. Such remarks about religious authorities might upset some Freepers.
