We should all consider ourselves "accountable to the entire FR religion forum" ... and we should hold our brethren to account.

Most particularly, we must hold to account those with whom we normally agree.

It's easy enough to strike out when we are offended, and to counterattack when we see an attack against someone with whom we agree.

But that not good enough. If you love those who love you, what merit is there in that? Even pagans do as much.

What do we do when we see someone we normally agree with launching an unrightous, false witnessing attack? Do we silently chuckle, and enjoy the show? Do we pile on? Or do we chide, rebuke and reprove him: "Brother, that was not well said."

I agree with DarthVader.

Excellent points about holding ONE ANOTHER to account—especially those of comfortable like-mindedness.
