Much of the worst behavior on the Religion Forum is obviously the fruit of intemperate and/or indiscreet zeal. Once we all realize this, it should change our posting habits here. On the contrary. I find the worst behavior on the Religion Forum to be my own in not readily exhibiting patience and understanding with those who are prone to excited exchanges. Younger Christians in the faith always will exhibit greater zeal. Older Christians should exercise greater wisdom and restraint.

Older Christians should exercise greater wisdom and restraint. Why?

These are in NO way mutually exclusive. We should ALWAYS be zealous for Christ, regardless of how long we have been in Him.
