Dena,
You asked,[...are you trying to... get me to write somethimg ...that will get me blocked?...]
No, for I do not agree with the admin. here about blocking posters. I have suggested alternatives to expulsion here.
In this situation, the following is how I would suggest it be handled:
I would have an {encounter board} that posters in dispute would be remanded to. They would stay there and not post untill a resolution transpiered , or a penalty, other than expulsion would be assesed to one or both. Here is an example, using us.
Lou: Dena, I feel sad that you think that it is Ok for Jon to post that purgatory is a doctrinal error.
Dena: Well Lou, that is what my church teaches.
Lou: If your church taught that homosexuals are an abomination to God and are going to hell unless they change, would you post that here?
Dena: No, Lou, I would not. You know Lou, I see what you mean. We should not post things that put down others, even if our church teaches it.
Lou: Let us reason together, we are on a mental health board and we have to limit our speech to be sensitive to the belifes of others.
Dena: OK, you have convinced me.
Now at this point the posters would be returned to the board.
Lou
