This exchange and diversity of views is what makes the forum interesting and educational. And people should not be made to feel like they are less of a person or that their testimony is worthless or "not Christian enough."
To me it’s a reflection of weakness and fear when people who cannot withstand debate in the public square resort to name calling, insults, and censorship.

good point
At first, I didn't see the harm in it, but I didn't realize there were other catergorical topics by the same OP. I can see why the OP would want a "safe" place to post and not an open arena for debate. Sometimes, it's just nice to share, without someone questioning/scrutinizing. But, then, that takes away the point of a forum. And, the different views are what makes it all so interesting. WE really can learn a lot from one another.
Thanks Mr Mod for doing the dirty work, but not doing the dirty playing.
I would have lost my patience a long time ago
