Uncomfortable Information

[RhetorTheo]

Far too much time is spent on historical and other issues that non-Catholics, and even some Catholics, post here. I propose that the moderators stop all information that we cannot legitimately dispute through the use of technicalities. If something is posted that we cannot honestly dispute, the moderators should remove the information.

I suggest the following techniques:

1) If a link is posted, remove the information for citing to an anti-Catholic site. Even if the site is the Vatican, it doesn't matter; just assert it's anti-Catholic and remove it.

2) If a link is not posted, remove the information for plagarism.

I'm sure some will call this intellectually dishonest, but through the selective application of rules, I think we can stop a lot of the uncomfortable posts in OBOB.

Is anybody else seeing the irony here?

From what I can tell... the information is all still there, still able to be read by people too.

Or are we talking about something else... other than a Rule 7 violation?

So we just bury our heads in the sand when things make us uncomfortable? I'm not sure I see your point.

I think we have enough communal unity and charity here to deal with tough issues, even if we have difficulty responding. Regarding differences of opinion among us, as long as we allow people to express themselves in the way they are capable, we will continue to have fruitful discussions (as well as some fun.)

Censorship is never productive.
