It’s clearly a matter of whose straw is being picked.

That’s ok. That was the point of the exercise.

Well, I'm not going to play the "poor little put-upon Protestants" game, if that's what you're driving at, so I do not think there is anything "clear" about the decision. If you want to take on the RM, you go right ahead.

I will never forget a thread a few years ago where a horde of Protestants game in despite an uncontested Caucus designation and the thread was opened, a la Obama border policy, because of the invasion, rather than the topic of the thread. I withheld donations from FR for some months in response.

Here I think Chapter ten is controversial and a reasonable person could go either way, and as I said, when you made a wholesale condemnation of us, in ignorance that at least I and probably others had decided to stay away despite what seemed to be the invalidating potential of Chapter 10, you may have fired your cannon through your own hull -- below the waterline.

This "caucus" is evidently no more than an underhanded device by one freeper to bait and taunt Catholics. It's a contemptible and childish tactic, one which would never be used by an honorable evangelist.

Quotes from by the originator of this now-defunct "caucus" thread:

Roman Catholics please do not trash our thread. We're trying to have a friendly dialogue here.

They just can’t help themselves. Please remove post.

Are you Eastern Orthodox. If not, why is it so hard to follow the rules?

My goodness! This thread is be overrun by Romanists. Can I get a witness?! Unfortunately some of your coreligionists are unable to control themselves and their only concern is disrupting things around here. You seem to be one of the few reasonable amongst your party so I have no problem with your posting on this thread.

Dear RM,
Like a horde of Turks bent on sacking Byzantine the Romanist have run roughshod over our caucus. We non-Romanists realize that Romanists believe they are above the rule of law. Here’s an opportunity for our Romanist FRiends to learn a true American value. Please delete posts: 2,14,15,17,20,25,26,28,29,31,32, and 33.
Thank you.

That’s funny, I always thought “crossing the Tiber” meant entering Romanism and thus Babylon, and the whore and all that.
