But I also oppose your religious views being imposed on those who do not agree. That is not “conservative” either because it requires the same government powers you must oppose to achieve your own liberties.

Two points.

1. I don't want ANYONE preaching to my children.

2. As a long time member of FR (over 10 years) and one who remembers that people used to use the correct posting style, it offends me how liberal some people have become with posting style.

Call me an old FRuddy duddy, but the proper form when quoting someone is to put the quote in italics and then put your comments in standard font with a paragraph break. We used to have an html sandbox around here to teach everyone. It used to be frowned upon to use quote marks.

What is FR coming to with all this liberal use of anything-goes posting style!

(Side note: Anyone remember when we had to go in and switch off the html from a previous poster because they did not switch off the html?)

Thanks for the rules on posting etiquette. I usually use < > for quotes, as that is what i often saw being used in forum when i began posting on forums, and its easier. But will change if that is what is right.
