Perfect clarification Boru, that satisfies any more interest from me in ever needing to come back to the thread. Thankx
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

That kind of behavior shouldn't be approved of.

Thoughts are immune to your approval. If you think an idea is wrong argue against it; your moral appraisal is not an argument.

What happens if he says no? Whatever his reasons for suspending judgment might be, they should be respected by the forum. It's disfavorable to stigmatize or punish people for their thoughts.
So he can have an opinion but I can’t have an opinion about his opinion? I’m asking him the question as one forum member to another, not as a mod. Boru cleared it up perfectly a few posts back.

Generally it's the people with shitty opinions who cry the loudest about condemning shitty opinions.

None, really. I’m just drunk with power, I suppose.

This is a forum—inherent in it's telos is open discussion. Transforming discussions of injustice into an abhorrence competition is not conducive to that end. I'll remind you that the moderators have liberally called members of this forum rape apologists. If you're not going to be responsible with your power give it to someone else.

I hope you’ll understand if I decline to take moral instruction from a Christian.

The passage reads like a facsimile of mine doesn't it? It's almost as if I paraphrased it in my response. Surely, that's a coincidence.
