I've been here all throughout and all we've done is discuss the issue. There's no baiting of any non-trinitarian going on here, because they aren't here.

Discussion is free to be wide ranging.

You are perfectly entitled to start another discussion thread under a different title that has no group-specific label.

In fact, if your point is that ALL types of threads should be allowed, then to oppose THIS type of thread is a violation of your own argument.

My overall position is that nothing short of vulgarity or inciting violence/treason should be pulled. Leave the moderators alone and let's police ourselves, by gentle persuasion up to and including shunning.

Now, unless you are purposely parodying the exact type of threads that people should not post, my only response is to not respond any further.

I feel this is an abuse of the idea of denominational specific threads. But, you will do what you must.

Respectfully, false I think.

fortheDeclaration's 'trinitarian' views are already being debated here without his being copied, save for Calvinist Dark Lord's consideration. This is moving in the wrong direction, in my opinion.

I would further suggest that you have posited a solution in search of a symptom. The core problem as JR has oft stated is the personal attacks, vulgarity etc. Opposing views can be stated and defended without resorting to ad hominems and imputation of motives. JR nor the Mod's cannot/should not read an entire thread(s) to figure out who started the name calling, and one should keep one's hands clean by avoiding said behaviour altogether. That makes the offending post/poster stand out all the more, against which the mod's can take action without a need to move threads to the SBR or worse, deleting the entire thread in exasperation (have you seen JR's comments on the "Back from the Time-Out Chair" thread?).

Posts and Poster's which violate JR's rules ought to be warned/banned, as previously discussed, and the Smokey Backroom is available for threads which anticipate a no holds barred discussion, or can be moved there if the Mod's/JR deem it appropriate.

However, that you feel a need to preempt their judgement with a "groupX only" thread for which neither concensus nor enforcement exists creates further problems, not the least of which is who decides what the rules of engagement are on said threads and who is in the groupX .vs. who is unwelcome.

As cantankerous as it is, I like this forum and I would not want to see it encumbered with extra layers of control. Let's let the existing mechanism's work out and mature.
