So Kruno (who was banned from the board recently, and is a very intolerant person to begin with) made one disparaging comment, and one person made a half-assed attempt at defending him. Did you notice that no one else in the thread attacked religion? Or that mods (such as Nikki) were there right away to make sure that things got resolved without getting any worse?

As far as Sean's rant, you can't expect mods to jump on everything the moment it's posted. We're here to help guide discussions so they don't become full-out arguments, not to censor people's beliefs. If that matter could have been delt with in the form of a civil debate, it would have been fine (not that I agree with what Sean said ... but it's not like we can censor anyone who says something that's not agreeable). If you (understandably) were offended by his post, you could have PMed a mod about it, or PMed Sean about it, or tried to discuss it with him and explain to him why you found it offensive.

As far as this thread goes, nobody said anything about bible thumpers taking over. If that's the way you interpreted it, perhaps it would be beneficial to re-read this thread. People were having a civil discussion about representation in government. If you didn't agree, you could have easily come in to continue the discussion in a civil manner. Instead, you assumed that people were bashing your religion and jumped into sarcasm.

Relgion bashing is not acceptable, whether in society or on this board. So, the occasional ignorant post, each of which has been delt with by other members of the board who discussed the issues in a civil manner, or by the moderaters if things got out of hand, have set the tone of the whole board for you? I'm sorry if you feel this way about the attitude of the board, but I honestly think you're exaggerating the attitudes of the few.
