I have read every post on this thread and pulled the ones which were "making it personal" meaning either reading minds, attributing motives or making the thread "about" another Freeper, personally. If I missed such a post, let me know by Freepmail.

In "open" Religion Forum debate, the poster who gets his feelings hurt - accuses others of hatred, bigotry, Nazism or Islamicism - or uses abuse reports and/or messages to the moderators to shut down the debate - that poster is the disruptor, not the ones who are accustomed to having their own beliefs, religious authorities, etc. abhorred or ridiculed. A poster must have thick skin to defend his beliefs or challenge another's beliefs in "open" religious debate.

The contention cuts in all directions, e.g. there are Catholic posters whose posts drip with contempt for Protestantism just like there are Protestant posters whose posts drip with contempt for Catholicism.

Posters who cannot tolerate withering criticism of their deities, religious authorities and beliefs should stay on the caucus threads for their own religions to discuss such things among their own co-religionists.

You are welcome to do so. Find a comparable article on the same subject and put "Catholic caucus" in the title. As long as neither the article nor the reply posts mention the beliefs of non-Catholics, the thread will remain closed to anyone who does not share your beliefs.

I just looked back over all the posts and see that you’ve removed so many nasty comments that it looks like we’re a group of stutterers, lol. So, I guess it’s not just me who has a problem with making it personal. Personally, since I’ve been on FR since 2001, I don’t remember when it didn’t get personal. But this is my last post here - I’ll let everyone get on with their business.
