I think that everyone here deserves an apology- especially from me, as I allowed myself to participate in a thread wherein I believed rules were being broken but still continued to post. I should be setting a better example than I have been of late.
For future reference, the forum
rules state that if you have a problem with another member or their posts, to please either use the 'report' feature or to notify Admins by using the PM system. ( Rule 6.) If you are having problems with certain members or a question about a Moderator action, use Private Message to a ReligiousForums.com member of the admin staff for help in resolving the matter.) What is not explicitly stated is that taking the issue out into the open is not one of the recommended 'options'- that doing so, knowingly or not, can lead to breaking Rule 4, which forbids personal attacks on other members.
Because this matter has not really been out in the open, and I would like my apology to stand, this thead will be closed but left available to read (With some editting so that the issue in question is resolved at the same time.) Again, I'm very sorry that I haven't been as aware of how I've been presenting myself lately, and will try to be more careful in the future.
