Quick question, Jim. Why is it permissible to make nasty, sweeping, unfounded, bigoted characterizations of entire religious sects, but addressing the specific actions and posts of a particular writer is considered “personal,” regardless of accuracy, and gets deleted. Does this policy not seem to be in need of review?

Thank you for your post; I would like to know the same thing.

I think all you’ll get is a form letter.

Your concerns are noted.

If you read the RF often, you will see that the same concerns are valid for just about every faith represented here.

As for a reply posted to a particular member that is personal, the guidelines prohibit that because those types of posts tend to start flame wars that distract from the issues germane to the threads.

The guidelines have been posted to you about open threads. If you do not wish to follow them do not post to them.

It is the policy of the Religion Moderator to moderate in a non partisan manner.

**”The demeanor of the poster says more about his own confession than the post says about yours. When he is being rude or mean it drives people away from his confession and towards yours. That is of course if you can resist the urge to meet fire with fire, in which case neither confession is appealing to the lurkers. The poster who ‘turns the other cheek’ wins every single time.” **

BTTT!
