Never saw a thread get ressurected like this

I can do that. I'm a moderator.

But I guess maybe we should define what constitutes a "religous discussion"
|
Hard to define I guess. "Any topic discussing organized religion, unorganized religion, sprituality, atheism, or warm fuzzy feelings towards anything other than another human, your MB, truck, boat, toolbox or job. Discussing wedding plans, a wedding reception you attended IF beer was served, or a funeral you had to attend or death of someone you know is OK, but don't get too deep about it. Details on the beer at the reception is also OK, but be advised my taste in beer isn't very worldly"

I'm certain the thread starter didn't intend for it to become religious at all.
|
Agreed, but that's not the point. Eventually even an oil thread can become political or religious.

I saw no problem with it, but of course have no idea if you had received complaints.

No complaints. The problem with it is it was delving deeper into being a "religious" thread. NO political or religious threads are allowed(other than what is being discussed, the "3 thread" idea). Sorry, I know you are all "big boys" and don't need to be told what you can and can't do. Maybe you don't see the problem with, oh I don't know, driving 90mph in a school zone, but that doesn't mean it's allowed.

It would be highly beneficial for you to note a specific offending post with the note "moderator objects" or similar, and then lock the thread

How about just banning you. That would solve two problems at once.

Moderator objects.........
My style isn't to lock threads, I don't want locked or "dead" threads, so I will stick with my original offer. You can get as unruly as you want, it won't be around much anyways. The more unruly, the shorter the time. To me it's sort of like collecting "junk" anyways, if I save it or it stays around, eventually it just falls to the bottom of the heap anyways. WHO is going to benefit later from it anyways? It's different with a tech post. Right now if say there are a bunch of pre-election posts from several months ago, WHO goes back and looks at that junk? SAME for "what is the best lawnmower" threads or some other such trivial stuff. Keep things in perspective, WHO CARES 6 months from now about a political debate on OD? No one.
