Well, isn’t that interesting. Protestants couldn’t leave people to talk among themselves and you acknowledge that fact.
Thanks for owning up to not being able to leave others alone, that’s the first step in doing better in the future.
Do you honestly think that when people are having a discussion that it is the contrary opinions rather than the huge blocks of graphics and blinking text that are the problem? My experience is quite the contrary, I don’t see anything other than the entire screens full of totally unrelated crap you have to scroll through as a problem.
I think the little games played whenever a Catholic makes a comment are way more than contrary information. If you can point out any discussion where a RC makes a point that isn’t in a Caucus and those graphics and diversion don’t appear I’d like to see it because I’ve sure missed it.
have a nice day
I don't think you understand the history you are addressing. Up 'til the point when religion forum caucus threads were created, ALL threads on Free Republic were OPEN, to include those in the Religion Forum.
I do not dispute DrEckleburg's memory that Roman Catholics were the first to ask for a place where they could discuss their beliefs in peace. My memory says she's right.
It doesn't really matter, because the RM came up with the open/caucus/devotional concept. My those designations, folks were able to have free-for-all discussions with all warts showing (open); in-group, non-polarized discussions (caucus); and prayer/reflection time with no negativity whatsoever (devotional).
Personally, I think it was a great plan, and I think it has worked very well.

What a great example of reading incomprehension.
The fact remains, illustrated by your posts, that you mistakenly thought closed caucuses were requested by Protestants when in fact they were demanded by Roman Catholics; many of those same Roman Catholics who now deny that same privilege to others.
they're saying that without a limit on who can join their causes

Mindless contradiction, thy name is Rome.
