I don't have to read or participate on any thread (or the forum on a whole) if I don't want to. I can see banning obscenity, inciting violence, and topics that could subject AF to legal scrutiny, such as child-you-know-what. However, administration is getting into the business of divining the intentions of posters. As a result we are having these kinds of discussions about where to draw the line in censoring members.
It is not divining. Any member here (including you and me) does generalizations. From time to time, even without noticing. If the OP said that, it is up to you and other theists to prove her wrong, and pointing out that faulty generalization would do just the trick.
There is a difference between "theism is literally childish" and "theists are retarded". The OP did made a case and it offended you. I also get offended by many things, to witch I retort or go somewhere else. not bothering.
About the issue, the staff is thinking about it, despite your casual ribbing at our attempt to remain objective.
