Jim Rob knows full well that it is the Religion Forum ghetto where the fundies hang out, circling for fresh meat like so many wolves in sheeps clothing.
The place the "other side" needs to be heard is among the general readership.
The ONLY thing that is allowed to remain any more on the News Forum are the most secular critical reports, that present all things Catholic in a negative light.
That is the only thing these so-called conservatives here, who do not frequest the Religion Forumghetto, are permitted to see.
Thus we all are simply wasting our time preaching to the choir here in the Religion Forumghetto.
The way this patronizing censorship is going, there is no equal time to defend the Church. And thus a very real, even if unintentional, anti-Catholic bias is being cemented right into the very structure of this new FR Format.
And that is why Catholic FReepers are leaving.
May I ask where you are all going? And can I come too?
Well, it seems that many fine people are taking Jim's actions way too personally and are taking themselves way too seriously.
Anybody's who is interested in things religious and specifically Catholic can come over here. It's just a mouse click away.
I'm just not getting the pouting.
So what is the alternative? If there is none then I would be content discussing these issues on the Religion Forum/Ghetto. Though I mostly just read and don't contribute very much. It can't be a bad place with the likes of Askel5, patent, and yourself here. (lots of others too, but I can't bring their screen names to my mind without a little thought). If you all leave though, the ghetto will be a dismal place.
Ditto.
