Here's a suggestion: Why don't we all adopt a COMMONSENSE approach to this and just not get into discussions about religion for a week or so, eh? Surely we can survive a couple of weeks without this?

If you're at someone's house and the host says "I'd rather we not talk about religion (or politics or sex) over dinner" what do we all do? We respect the host's wishes and we don't talk about it over dinner. I would have thought this quite simple to understand. Doesn't mean you can't talk about it later on - it means you respect the wishes of the owner of the house. It's that simple.

You know what the sad thing is? I KNEW that Z's thread would eventually have to be locked by Z (which is quite embarrassing) - it was just a matter of when, which is quite disappointing, really. We have all the evidence and justification we need from the very thread where it shouldn't have happened (who started it is not important). I purposely stayed out of it because I wanted us all to learn a lesson from that.

I would hope we don't need to write a wordy legal contract on what construes a religious discussion, as we will be adopting a commonsense approach to this. Please cooperate - we are asking for a VERY SIMPLE thing, really. Religion will NOT be banned here permanently - but this is really up to all of us, not just Ziroc. [img]smile.gif[/img]
