[Religion Moderator]

One of the guidelines on the Religion Forum is to not carry disputes over from thread to thread. Answering your challenge on thread would require linking to other threads and therefore breaking that guideline.

However, the challenge was answered privately - demonstrated - in Freepmail, as it should be, with links and copied to me.

For the record, on many threads over the years both sides argue against the beliefs of the other. And the accusations are often contentious and hurtful.

And that is to be expected on "open" Religion Forum threads.

Posters who are not comfortable with that type of debate should ignore "open" RF threads altogether and instead read and post to RF threads labeled "prayer" "devotional" "caucus" or "ecumenical."

Enough has been made of this issue on this thread. Time to drop it.

You have a tough job.

Exactly.

Indeed. I had merely pinged her as a courtesy seeing as i had quoted her as the issue came up again (and again and again) with another poster. But it remains "bigot" is so subjectively understood that it often can be used and denied as one wills.

“Time to drop it.”

So, you declare that the challenge was answered, and then close debate.

(N.B., the subject of this note is moderating.)
