"I think it’s extremely unreasonable for any Papist"

The term "Papist as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary is:

NOUN: Offensive Used as a disparaging term for a Roman Catholic"

I am objecting to the continued use and tolerance of this word and other offensive terms for Catholics such as "RC" on these Religion Forum threads particularly with the precedent of similar offensive descriptors of non-Catholics being removed along with the entire post containing them.

Shouldn't all participants have the same protections or the same thick skin?

The only post I recall removing which used a pejorative to describe Protestants was removed for language, i.e. it incorporated a word describing a male sexual organ which is potty language not allowed on the Religion Forum.

Awwwwwww

Perhaps Prottys could canvas some taxidermists to see if a collection could be taken up for the rabid cliques to gain some thicker skins.

Prottys have collectively and individually been called every foul thing in the book hereon from the beginning by Papists—and often a lot not in the book.

Goes with the territory.

Except for personally personhood harsh assaults, we usually hardly bat an eye or slow down over it.

It’s amazing how many Roman Catholics et al fail to realize that some of us Prottys haul out annoying terms primarily or only when the Papists get particularly obnoxious, prissy and assaultive.

LOL.

Free Republic participants are responsible for supplying their own skin. Participants incapable of growing a thick skin should consider ignoring “open” RF threads altogether, and restrict their reading and posting activities to threads labeled “caucus” “ecumenical” “prayer” or “devotional.”
