I don’t think I actually stated in any message, or at any time, that I was 'personally' offended by your messages David or indeed whether I like or dislike them, I did however say that I do know people who are. It is on behalf of those people that I first mentioned it. Your choice of ignoring a 'polite' request to moderate your particular brand of religious messages in what has hiterto been a neutral non-religious and non-sectarian forum is really a slap in the face to all the other people who don’t abuse communications mediums and know how to 'behave' when addressing multi-ethnic, multi-denominational audiences. There is a huge difference between 'behaviour' and 'censorship' even if you chose not to recognise it or were absent when it was taught in school.

With my analogy to smoking, one can chose to dislike something on grounds other than just health. I and others may well hold certain views on various topics (including religion), but we don’t FORCE you to read our views or beliefs every time we post a message. You on the other hand do.

I am done on this thread even though I’d love to propagate this further and wider as ‘promotor fidei’ (look it up - it comes from your religion) but I’ve stated my case adequately and succinctly even if you chose to ignore it. Somebody has to fly the flag for 'the dark side' just to ensure this is a balanced list.

PS. If you dislike my style of writing, please start a new thread about it, detail what you don’t like, provide some examples to give credence to your grievance, even put it to a vote, and I’ll take everyone’s views on-board AND ACT ON THEM where appropriate. Now that's not censorship, that's being just being polite to the wider audience of readers.
