...and when I share here that's it's main purpose: to share. It's for other Christians. I, too, dislike having to read about pagan beliefs etc, but since they are not "for me" I don't go into the threads and preach. I find it rather upsetting though to find a thread marked Christian only to find out it's a bashing thread, or somehow was changed in the midst by someone and I then am slung to the ground for discussing Christianity. If those who are not Christian consider discussing Christianity as "flaming" well, then it works both ways. For me, I know I don't do it to cause upset to another, but to encourage the badgered Christian. I can't say why non-Christians post, but it feels like flaming to me, too.

I'm am uncertain about the rope analogy with regards to what I'm allowed to post. It makes no sense to have to "drop" a theme thread just because someone has pulled on the rope. That is close to denying me my right to free speech, in favor of dissenters. (Though I have given them the "win" at times when it just wasn't "fair.")

Let me reiterate: I post to share. Take it or leave. Hmmm maybe that could be a siggy too?

Edit PS I meant take it or leave it. I need a rest.
