It's very simple...I maintain there is something fundamentally wrong with a "rule" that allows me to claim "all Catholics are tax cheats," but gets "you're lying about Catholics" deleted.

I can see the logic in the rule from what I quoted in in post #152, but here's an example of that "tension" mentioned at the end of the post. In other words, I can see why the moderator "will not decree what is or is not truth," but I can also see some interesting problems that may thereby be introduced.

I just reloaded the thread and found your post #161: "there is no clearer example of 'mind-reading' I can think of than telling someone else whether they are worshiping or not." Even before I reloaded the thread, I was thinking of this sort of thing as one of those "interesting problems."

Although what follows may have little to do with the topic, I thought that may all appreciate a nice Bible break:

[Romans 12:17] Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
[18] If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
[19] Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
[20] Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
[21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good
