Me thinks that the some folks would like to see more
Kumbaya in the religion forum, notwithstanding the effort by the Religion Moderator that has gone into the careful segregation of sub-forums.
HERE
The "OPEN" threads are clearly labeled...
"Open threads are a town square. Antagonism though not encouraged, should be expected
Posters may argue for or against beliefs of any kind. They may tear down others beliefs. They may ridicule.
Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some."
The constant expectation of seeing "closed" thread rules governing "open" threads leads to threads labeled On intemperate and indiscreet zeal. (The Primary Fault of many Religion Forum posters) when in fact the primary fault may instead be that of an incomplete understanding of or unwillingness to abide by forum rules.
Expect an Executive Order from Obama demanding more "Kumbaya" in all things, but I will wait for the Executive Order from Jim Robinson before I begin to censor myself on FR to suit those who proselytize for it.
