Poll of TAW for rule

70% looks pretty decisive to me. Using avatars to support political agendas, especially those that are socialist pro abortion troll tactic tripe and other nonsense should be banned. From where I stand, thanks to my trusty ignore button, fortunately I don’t see such things, but if we were to have such behavior, I would hope it banned....

Then say that instead of a vague term! But also note that's it's disingenuous to claim that EEO issues are not a battleground - they still are.

Something is "vague" only to those with the veil covering their eyes.

Because I think it's important that we realize that Christian can in good faith disagree about political conclusions. While there are some means we can't support and some ends we can't support, as well as some ends we must support, beyond that, it's an exercise of a properly formed Christian conscience. Two people can come to very different conclusions about the practical steps to be taken without one being some kind of false Christian.

Of course, the proposed rule makes that less clear.

There are some conclusions that it is not possible to come to and remain a genuine Christian who lays down his own authority to the Church to teach and correct him. The authority of the consensus of the fathers and the teachings on sexual morality are good examples of that.

You can even correct me from that authority!

Ok. Looks like it passed.

Next step is I double check. Normal procedure is if anyone asked to be removed we remove them which one person did. Then we remove anybody who has just joined the forum.

Even with that it's somewhere around 69.5%

Which is over 2/3

So now I take this to staff so they know exactly what's going on with the final form. I will create a special topics sticky and a link from your statement of faith.

Closing this for now I will make an announcement when the rule goes into effect.

This will go live tomorrow when I make the special topics sticky.

If you think you might be in violation of the rule please make changes before then.
