I do not as I prefer to have any discussion on the basis of what is said and not some assumption or bias about a group applied to the person. So I don't ask and never answer personal questions.
Remember what i suggested earlier:
“If you don’t like the free for all of open threads, post a caucus.
Recommend to your Catholic friends that they not engage in personal insults and foul language or respond to those who do. I’ve found this most useful even though it is hard to hold the tongue from wagging.
Do not try to top others in their sarcasm. It never works even if it sometimes feels good.
Lastly, most here are quite able to defend themselves even as “newbies”. Well thought out comments will be welcomed even if disputed, no matter how long the poster has been here. Trust me on this on, really.
And, and have a sense of humor about all this. It’s a talk forum! I dare say I’ve argued with some here rather strenuously yet never neither of us felt the other was a bad person. So don’t take anything personally.
Cheers!”
Oh, look how much good your suggestions have done! Look at how WONDERFUL the Religion Forum is!
I don’t mind a free for all. What I mind is people who are baldfaced untruth tellers.

WELL PUT. AMEN! AMEN!
Besides, some foolishly bring a water pistol to a machine gun fight on such scores . . . and then wail because they came out on the short end of the stick! LOL
