Is this an “mod caucus” thread? :->
It is easier to do it this way than to send a bunch a Freepmails to the posters trying to jab each other with insulting keywords.
Thanks! It sometimes gets a little hostile around here.
sometimes? little?
;-)
I’m being kind... :)
Unfortunately, Religion is a hot topic. We all know we’re right and everyone else isn’t.
We’re wasting energy trying to convert the unconverted [to ‘our’ chosen faith] here. Our energies would be much better used in trying to undermine Muhammadanism with cogent intelligent and irrefutable analysis.
Just thought of an idea I’ll have to study . . . sending letters to the editor about Muhammadanism without using the terms Izlam, Muhammad[ism], War on Terror, Terrorists, etc.
GOODNESS!
Clueless me. Never realized such was going on!
Thx.
One needs to check out the keywords on THIS thread. :)
Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Praise YHvH. How devious of some.

I never pay much attention to keywords, but some of the ones on this thread are hilarious!
I used to make comments in my tagline, till you told us to quit it. That was fun.
*sigh*
I understand the desire to avoid keywords that attack others.
But if a thread is posted that is clearly meant to cast aspersions on a religion (like a thread that says someone quit the Catholic church, and lists the reasons the Catholic church is wrong), isn’t the keyword “catholicbashing” an appropriate tag indicating the purpose of the post?
Could you at least suggest another keyword that would indicate threads that are attacks on religions, so that people who search for attacks on their own faith can easily find them and add their defense of their religion?
I really thought that the phrase “xbashing”, where x is the name of the religion, was a good way of doing that.
Perhaps some iron in the glove might be in order if this thread doesn’t work. First offense, a warning; second offense, 12 hours “off;” and scaling up from there.

Good point. I didn't think of that.
But do not use keywords to carry on a flame war.
Using keywords anonymously in such a manner has been a problem on this website for a long time, and not just on the religion forum.
That is why this forum has tougher guidelines and its own moderator.
OK, thanks. If I think of a good keyword suffix to use, I’ll post it.
Meanwhile, I guess these keyword rules are only for religion threads, so if a regular news article is posted that appears to be an attack on a religion, can we still use the “bashing” suffix for that?
Yes, this only applies to the Religion Forum.
