    Please post them here.

    I am not a Christian, but I'd like to think that I can appreciate and respect the reverence and spiritual significance involved in Lent.

    It's odd that, in the middle of a busy and tough couple of days, I happened to see that. I figured I knew what might have occurred, and the manner that it did is so sadly consistent with the way things go there. What in the bleeding fuck is the set of guidelines that they use to install these Guardians of the Proper Way?

    Sheesh. They did this to Manny? The mind boggles.

    I am a Christian and had no problem with the post in question. But, I think they were trying to enforce their own rules, no matter how silly they may be.

    Oh, it was probably the proper thing to do, according to the Book of Silly Rules. All it does, though, it show how uneven the rules are, as well has how they are applied (or not).

    I realize it is the lay of the land. It is just a shame when they so ham-handedly slap someone who has brought a lot of good to their community.

    I think that one of the requirements is that the moderator-to-be has personally used "under-handed" on
    their resume'. One can move up the moderator ladder immediately if "surreptitious" has been listed on their
    resume' for 5+ years.

    It could also be that they didn't want your biblical canon to send scriptural shrapnel to
    the places where it really was needed.
