Respect

Always treat other members with respect.

You might be able to get away with saying this isn't ad hominem, but I don't see it is a post that is treating Faith with respect. I think it would be simple to make the same point without using language that has the potential to be upsetting. Also, you should avoid needling, hectoring and goading tactics.

There is a thread for such questions

Take it there

Enough!

I see my fears that this post was threatening to degrade into a steaming cesspool of disrespectful insanity (yes, on both sides). So no more on this! I will be putting a post in the appropriate thread to explain why I decided to interject.
