Interfaith Group

The people who have been banned have been banned because their behavior and their posts were disruptive. In some instances, there have been what were obviously coordinated intrusions for the purpose of harrassment.

This group was started in order to have a place where believers and non-believers could have respectful conversations without having to deal with the kind of crap that is the steady diet of the Religion group. There's no problem with accepting that atheists see things from a substantially different viewpoint. The problem, when it occurs, is that some--not all; some--atheists are either unwilling or unable to have a respectful conversation with a believer on a religious topic.

The hosts have been extremely patient in dealing with these people, far more so than A/A hosts when believers blunder into their group. They've gone beyond the extra mile. What I think we need is a clear line that says, "Cross over this defined level of obnoxiousness, and you will be banned as a troll, whether on your first post or your hundredth."
