2. No
3. "Personal attacks" are not allowed anywhere on Free Republic. Calling another poster names and accusing him of serious misconduct are forms of "personal attacks."
"Making it personal" is not allowed on the Religion Forum. Accusing another Freeper of telling a lie, attributing motives to him, reading his mind, badgering him with the same questions over/again, following him around and making the thread "about" him are all forms of "making it personal."
You have been doing such things on this thread.
When I notice a poster "making it personal" - I warn him. I do not look to see if it was provoked because two wrongs do not make a right.
Under the RF guidelines, other posters involved in this sidebar should consider themselves warned since you have been warned.
Finally, "open" Religion Forum threads are like a town square. Posters may argue for and against dieties, beliefs, religious authorities and so on. They may ridicule such things. They are often contentious.
If you are offended by that style of debate then IGNORE "open" Religion Forum threds altogether - do not read them nor post to them. Instead post to RF threads labeled "devotion" "prayer" "ecumenical" or "caucus."
Thick skin is required on "open" RF threads.
Thank you for being a Religion Moderator.
Why was swampfox allowed to say, “It’s >You, the Catholic Church and the pope that >”dispise” Christ & His word?”
Yet, I was warned for saying, “you don’t understand it.”
There seems to be >a great difference in the two comments.
Your answer does not explain it.
As to choosing sides:
Please see swampfox comments #147 & 148.
Religion Moderator, >I believe you choose sides when Roman Catholics are defending their Church.
Please review: comment #130 again.
In fact, I would ask you to go back and re-read all of swampfox’s comments. I see them as >personal attacks.
Do you the Religion Moderator see swampfox’s comments as expressing the love for Jesus Christ?
Religion Moderator, if you have read all of swampfox’s comments = you’d realize ALL my comments are about his ‘armchair church.’ Swampfox is presenting himself as the >only member of his church. Swampfox is presenting himself as ‘the pope of his armchair church.’
I keep asking ‘the pope of swampfox’s armchair church’ to explain his religious beliefs & his faith formation. I’m very curious how swampfox became ‘pope of his armchair church.’ I consider it to be a legitimate question.
I also, think people that claim ‘Christianity’ as their religion should NOT NOT be deceitful as to their >religious beliefs & their faith formation.
Religion Moderator: Why can swampfox >attack the Pope of the Catholic Church but we are >admonished for asking questions of the ‘pope of swampfox armchair church?’
Also, just looking at comments #147 & #148, it appears as the though the ‘pope of swampfox’s armchair church,’ thinks you have sided with him.
I too thank you.
Have a great day.
