The Lounge guidelines clearly state (point #4) that politics does not belong on the Lounge, and neither does religion.
But, I'm looking right now at a top-o-the-Lounge thread started by OriginalGriff [^] ... which I'm not about to open to read the (inevitably) "flaming" 22 responses to.
And, now, there's a message right above Griff's from Nagy V., which appears to be directly about some real problem he has with behavior by priests of the Roman Catholic faith (I'm not Christian, by the way). This post appears not to be a joke, by the way.
Is it too much to ask that such posts be moved to the SoapBox ?
thanks, Bill

Great idea, Bill.

It's sad to see that people think that asking for the rules of the lounge be obeyed warrants a downvote. You have my 5 to compensate.
I too dislike these types of posts in the lounge. Religion and politics are divisive topics, and lead to flamewars that have no place in the loungs. Sadly, I suspect the usual culprits will continue to pick and choose which rules they wish to obey, as the Kid Sister rule has long gone out the window.

I did, but it has different connotations in the UK. It's a lot less of an insult here than in the US. (Actually, I didn't call the an a**hole, I called them an a***hole, but let's not get into the whole US v UK spelling thing).

Restraining Order? 
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Besides JSOP that is.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

I think some PITA-trouble-makers are performing quite a constructive service to the CP community, and others are hemorrhoids 
Perhaps the difference lies in context, timing, and intent ?
best, Bill

And whether or not you are the target!
Don't forget the personal aspect.

As are we all - we are all human, and to expect people not to slip is, quite frankly, stupid. But there's a difference between a mild offensive word, and between posts that go overboard and refer to sexual acts, or that stir up religious or political rivalry. But, you can continue to stalk me. I don't mind, and I won't take a restraining order out on you (although, I would prefer to see you take a few others to task as well - perhaps you could try to stop the violation of the KSS rule as well).

There was no need for that. That was an uncalled for personal attack on someone who's done you no harm. If you have an argument with me, keep it to me - don't drag others into it.

You are correct.
I will sign off now. I will come back when it is time.

I can only ask if you're okay mate? You're normally a reasonable guy so I can only assume that there's some problem that's getting you down. If you need to talk it through or just need a sympathetic ear, I'm here.

I am not Ok. I will return when I am.
|
|
|
|
|
Okay. You take care mate.

I sincerely hope you will be okay soon, and like Pete, I can offer an anonymous "friendly ear" at any time to anyone who is struggling with the difficulties in living in, and coping with, a rather insane world; this particular friendly ear I humbly offer is connected to a person who has many years of direct experience working with people with problems ranging from adjusting to physical disability, to mental illness, to those struggling with depression, grief, and so on.
It appears you are living in America, and I am American. Even though I personally have not been in America for over ten years, many of my American friends I'm in touch with by e-mail and Skype, and I, are deeply troubled by what's happened in the current political campaign, and troubled by what may lie in store in America's future.
My friends include people from left, right, and center, politically, by the way.
sincerely, Bill

Was just about to report this myself (and I could swear somebody reported this, or something similar, a couple weeks ago). Also doesn't like quote marks or apostrophes. I suspect any character that should typically be HTML encoded.
