[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal] Good point to bring to the attention of new posters. It is important they realize that...though its also sad in a way that they have to be informed that our safehaven is not really safe. [/font]

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal] Seems pretty common sense.[/font]

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal]I think there should be an exemption for threads about atheism or posts from there that are overtly bigoted statements made against non-believers. If the thread is about Agnostics or Atheists doesn't it kind of fall under the umbrella of this group?

I feel that just like the LGBT and Feminist groups, bigotry is a concern to us and should be fair game. I could understand that prohibition if the thread/post in question has nothing to do with us

That said, I understand that some posters have been complaining and if it reduces the number of headache you have to endure I can live with the prohibition.

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal] Sounds fine, but we can vent occasionally right? [/font]

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal]I highly support this! Can I suggest, because it was an issue recently, a prohibition against posters from telling us that we have any certain beliefs or what we believe?[/font]

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal]Love this![/font]

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal]Definitely![/font]

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal]Okay![/font]

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal] Totally agree!

Possible adaptation to Rule 3 Goblinmonger Nov 2014 #30

Good idea, but mr blur Nov 2014 #31

That sounds like a good idea LostOne4Ever Nov 2014 #32

I giggled a little at "Focus on the Fundy" EvolveOrConvolve Nov 2014 #35
