I think there already are some yahoogroups and cc lists that restrict the membership and discussion to be in strict conformity with their own ideology, religion or political agenda. Those who are privileged by birth, upbringing or indoctrination, to have the door to these enclaves opened for them, and/or want to live within their walls, are free to do so. I, for one, am not interested in being in the confines of any religion, ideology or political agenda. I am here because I believe this is a free, open and secular public forum, as are TGF and GX.
Yes, this is a Catholic dominated forum. But that is fine as far as I am concerned because it is not so by enforcement. My only regret now, however, is that I am beginning to suspect, which I had never done before, that there are some here who prefer it to be that way.
