Please scroll through the thread and observe that I stopped using the term when advised to. Most of the dialog keeping the word alive has been done by others.

Is it prohibited when used as a general characterization, referring to rabid anti-Catholics in the same genre as papists, RC (pronounced arse), pedophile priests, pederast priests, hanky waivers, Romanists, finger frothers, Vatican reps, Marian heretics, Faithful Hobbits, trinket religionists, idolaters, etc?

It doesn't matter. When a term has been disallowed on a thread, comply.

Generally, on "open" Religion Forum threads it is not "making it personal" to use biting terms such as "Romanists" "Snake-Handlers" "Morons" to describe a group.

For instance, it is not making it personal to say "That group is a cult." It is making it personal to say "You are a cultist."

You forgot bone-rattlers. That one's almost as funny as referring to southern evangelicals as snake-shakin' bobble toters.

And, have people been calling me an ugly name when referring to me as RC? I just thought it was shorthand.

Duh.
