Lini:
If you'd read the posts leading to Lou's block last time, you'll find that I was one of his main supporters. And I have remained on Lou's side when it comes to his right to post. The Faith board was set up primarily because of this problem.
At this point, I am not arguing about the way Lou posts. I am arguing about what seems to be a double standard on what is supportive or not, and what is proselytizing/sloganeering or not.
As I said, I am usually on Lou's side when it comes to his right to post. But it has sometimes, of late, been over that line--especially when the person who asked for help on the thread asked for a specific kind of help and was given exactly what she didn't want.
If I posted that I was robbed and needed something to help me out of the fear pit and asked that posters please refrain from spiritual advice, as I found it hadn't worked for me in the past, would it be considered supportive for someone to come in and do just that? Sure, the poster has a right to express his opinion. But some opinions should be considered, based on that prior request, unsupportive.
