Is it wrong to talk about R in PPR?

The religion one.
Yeah there are a few threads in there, but when that forum first started it wasn't meant to have anything to do with WP, that's just where the threads about this forum ended up because most of it was to do with the PPR forum. I don't 'encourage trolling' in general, I have started a couple of threads that I can think of, because I found it hilarious that I was reading such drivvle on here. But I've also had people suggesting more, which I haven't encouraged or agreed to at all.
Perhaps you need to make some sort of announcement in your site before some people on here get fed up and you get trolled to death?

It shouldn't be wrong to discuss R. However, this forum should be a debate and discussion forum, and shouldn't be used as a bully pulpit or for open mockery and ridicule, as a good percentage of the threads of late have been.
If I were a moderator here, those sorts of disrespectful threads would be immediately closed as soon as they were opened and the creators banned (temp or perm, depending on the nature of the post and whether or not the poster was a repeat offender).

It would be good if religious people are able to discuss religion rather than preach it.
And also not freak out if someone says something about religion that they don't like - religion is not a special case that can't be contradicted debated or ridiculed ... like every other topic.

Or for that matter make fun of people whose R is different than your R?
I say: NO!

I haven't seen the title of this forum changed. I think the site admin is perfectly able to get the R out.
This below isn't directed striaght at you, iamnotaparakeet, just the above.
I find it a little more then strange not to have seen...pardon the poor example..... Cathlics vs Protastants. I do think they have a few different views. I even think a few wars have been fought over such differences. Must be the cease fire is still in effect. Ya think? Make fun? They freakin killed each other.
The dividing lines in here seem to be drawn. The interpration of what crosses the line isn't an easy one. It's a thankless job. Does someone have to do it? I would say yes. Hard to walk away from a thread when it becomes personal and that's where I think it has to be drawn after a point. I have caught myself going over the line at least a few times and probably a few I didn't even know I was doing or percived as doing. When I did manage to catch it, I made the best amends I could. I recall one where appartently it wasn't acepted and the flame continued. I walked away.
I do know a troll when I see one and I do so like to eat them and spit em out. Call me a reformed troll then, or not. Most trolls that I see here wouldn't even know they got slammed. Then again, really not worth the effort, the rules do take the fun out of it. I have another place I play on the site that let's out the frustrations of the day to day.
Having said all of that ramble, I've never really learned all the much from those that agree with me on everything. A good debate is a wonderful thing. I've even been known to take the side I don't even agree with. Try it, it's fun and it will startle the hell out of the people that thought they had you pegged. You might even learn something.
