Hi Gary,
I don't care about the religion. But it seems to me, that cascading
objections can be on any off topic subject.
I sent the question to the list, because I think it's important to have
a
standardized procedure for suspensions/removals, etc.
If religion & politics are off topic period, that should be stated up
front. Whatever it is--name calling, swearing, certain topics, certain
lengths or number of posts--I think it's important that everyone knows that
they'll be suspended, & for how long. It seems to me that you did have a
process for rife that would be appropriate here, but I've never seen it.
PS If you check, you'll notice I don't believe I've ever said anything
about religion. It just seemed to me that the first time that woman posted
anything, she was removed.
