lesbian episcopals....Well, I’ll guarandoubletee you it won’t be a protected caucus thread.

Actually, Jim, I think this is consistent with the rules that were discussed when the "new" religion mod took up the mantle.

While caucuses, devotionals, etc., were allowed it was stated at the time that a caucus TITLE or the content of a caucus THREAD could not be worded in such a way as to provoke others. "Joseph Smith: an apostle of Jesus Christ" is a bit of a red flag, wouldn't you think?

"Joseph Smith: founder of the Mormon movement" would be a title that wouldn't provoke. It would just be a statement of fact.

The Relig Mod might remember all this. I'm pretty sure that I do.

Yes, that was discussed. The “caucus” label was never to be used as “cover” to fire shots at another group of believers.

Joseph Smith: founder of the Mormon movement”
____________________________________

Yes and even better “Joseph Smith: father of the Mormon movement (or Mormonism)”

It also has that political angle in there...

after all while George Washington was the “father of our country” Joey Smith wanted to be “father” of the world...

as well as president-for-life in the US and king-of-the-the-US and the world and general-of-the-glorious-armies-of-Nauvoo and savior-of-his-people...

hey if Queen Victoria could have lots of titles so could “king” Joseph..
