First I wan't to say that I agree entirely with what KK is saying about the posts, especially this particular quote:"There is a definite personal issue with it as well -- he's bringing up many of the bad things from my childhood, many of the reasons I put off getting help. His posts are Offensive to me, and that's a civility rule."
Now I'd like to reiterate a few things. First, this board is not a democracy. If Dr Bob wanted to delete every single message that contained the letter Q within it, it would be within his right to do so. It wouldn't really go very far to promoting conversation, but thats neither here nor there.
Second, Lets use an analogy of a newspaper. There is the main section for all the "news", theres a style section, want-ads, etc etc...
Now what a few people are proposing is that it's unfair to seperate the Style section from the News section because it somehow then makes the Style section inferior or infers somehow that it is inferior to the News section.
I think if you look at the newspaper analogy you can see that this isn't the intent or the case.
I think, and this may be opinion, that the real reason that nobody wants to move theological posts to their own board is because they feel that they will no longer get any attention.
They certainly have an audience in the Social board, weather that audience is willing or not... The point is, if people want to throw the Style section away and never read it at all, thats their business, and if people choose not to visit the theology board, that is certainly analogous to the newspaper reference.
Oh, and by the way, I grew up being picked on for being different as well, and I don't quite think thats enough motivation for me to rally around someones cause, nor do I think it's applicable for comparison's sake... Just my opinion.
thanks...
