That means that even bible verses are not exempt from that support take precedence.
Are the following excerpts the passages that you are referring to?
"Sometimes the goals of these boards conflict. One goal is of course that they be supportive. Another is that people feel free to post, since how else are they going to be supported? But being supportive takes precedence. My approach to civility is, it doesn't matter if someone really believes something -- or to some extent even if it's true -- if it's uncivil, they shouldn't post it. It's a tradeoff, that person can't vent or receive support themselves (at least not here), but the overall atmosphere is (IMO) more supportive for others."
"Someone may really believe someone else will be damned, but it keeps the overall atmosphere more supportive not to post that"
Okay. What are your objections to this verbiage?
