Hardly worth posting the obvious, but there ya go.

I've brought a couple of people with me here from there, and they've been bann. the most recent 'saved by grace.' Why? Because he would not respect the 'safe place' you all have created, for yourselves. They hide behind a dozen stated rules, and you all hide behind one. 'You shall not preach.' Tell me again who's closed minded, If there are limits on what can and can not be discussed?
There is nothing wrong with have a 'safe place' where like minded people can come together to discuss their ideals and regulate what is discussed. If any of us want to cross our comfort zones and have a discussion with those who do not value the same things you do, one must have an open enough mind to regulate what you say and do to fit the other format, at the same time not compromising your own core beliefs.
The real trick is, to find a place that will allow you to do both.
