    That thread resulted in the temp bans of two active, well-spoken members. I happen to like both of them, and the points-of-view that they bring to our forum. I hope they both return when their respective bans expire.

    Please understand that this is nothing personal. I genuinely like you guys. Several of you. Mostly.

    Religion. Insults. Asshattery of epic craftsmanship. These things will get us banned. Please, you must understand.

    Please.

    I just hope this religion/insult reporting doesn't turn into some sort of tit-for-tat vendetta sort of thing.

    I wasn't around in the early days. But from some of the vile things I see get posted in the political sub forum sometimes, I can't imagine the discussions around religion could have been that much worse.

    I think if people didn't care what other people believe and only focused the discussion more on what people do religion wouldn't need to be a forbidden topic.

    A lot of people take religion far more seriously than politics and get far more self righteous and angry over slights.

    True, though in my mind self-righteousness doesn't make much sense. I think Homer Simpson said it best: "talk about a preachy book. Everybody's a sinner......except for this guy."

    ....sense of humor, people.

    It really wasn't any worse. People just got more butthurt about it.

    The bans are getting pretty out of control lately.
