Reply To: Question about the guidelines…
On the other hand, Belle, some people come here so they can “decompress” from the stress caused them by asshats who happen to be religious (and those seem to be the worst asshats, as they think god wants them to be asshats). Said decompression will involve rants, often with a lot of vitriol in them. (In point of fact you did so just recently about your ex-husband. Though you didn’t fling a lot of profanity and insults his way, I guarantee you after the things you said about him, he’d be most unwelcome here.)
Those seem to be two mutually conflicting goals.
I’ve seen sites where people of all persuasions can get together and talk, and they are ruthlessly and impartially moderated. That part of you that wants this sort of dialog may be better served there, while the side that needs to de-stress and let your hair down (so to speak), can still get what it needs here.
