>>And I don't care what a person's political views are - what they think does not justify our bullying or scapegoating them, whether they be MBSGeorge or Walkaboutsverse or whoever the current Mudcat scapegoat is. Mudcatters, especially the 'in crowd' of Mudcatters, have an embarrassing tendency to identify and destroy their chosen scapegoats.

Hear hear.

So moderate and remove posts that do such things. Stop allowing people to bully or make certain people scapegoats.

At the moment you are condoning it by not taking such action.

As far as religion goes, you are entitled to do what you want Joe. I will respect you as a person. However, if anybody tries to preach religion to me, then I just remind them I am not interested. I still respect those people, but I will not listen to any preaching of religion from anybody. By the same token I expect religious people to respect the fact that I choose not to believe and leave me in peace.

I think that Religion and Politics, more than any other subjects in Mudcat, create most of the issues and I would say strong moderating in those areas woudl probably take away most of the issues that Mudcat are suffereing at the moment.

Why don't you create a seperate section for Religion and Politics and just moderate that area strictly and carry on the way you moderate the rest as is.
