“I come here less and less because of this annoyance...”
You do not have to come...coming is your choice. Posting in the ‘Religion Forum’ is a choice that has been made available to us on Free Republic. And by selecting how you come into Free Republic, you can selectively exclude posts in the Forums you do not want to see. For myself, I usually choose ‘Latest Posts’ under ‘Topics’ because I want a quick look at what is of current interest.
Actually, the OP posted this in News/Activism. Since then a moderator has moved it to Religion.
FWIW.
