No, and perhaps I myself would not ask for it's deletion. However I think it's semantics whether or not asking that a post which has flouted the guidelines of the Faith board be deleted or asking that it recieve a P.B.C. or a Please rephrase. I'm sure Lou feels that by requesting this he is being supportive of those who do not have the same beliefs, at the risk of appearing unsupportive to one poster. It's not an unusual circumstance at Babble it just depends on what you find deeply offensive, and that's individual. Obviously the poster was aware it
Lou would take exception to what was said or they would not have advised him not to read it, I personally don't find that acceptable either, and it offends me, it reminds me too much of high school and whispering behind someone's back.

It happened on the faithboard,
I'm not sure how it could be seen as not being applicable.

However here is a quote from Lou's Original request just in case [The guidlines for the faith board write that you can post but [..not to put down those of other faiths...]

Well I don't think you've read that many posts on the faith board then! In this case however That it was the truth was implied by it's form. It was phrased as a statement "Jesus is Lord" .
Adding anything else would have been redundant.
Dr Bob has in the past advised posters to be supportive of other faiths by saying such things rephrased such as "People of my faith believe that Jesus is Lord"

> It will be interesting to see whether or not Dr. Bob will decide to delete the original post.

Dr. Bob doesn't delete posts.

This is my last post on this topic.
I'm not really into the Faith board, I had originally intended to support Lou what I'd seen as a huge difference in a manner of phrasing things. The difference was at one time crucial to Dr. Bob's guidelines of the Faith board too, perhaps he's being more lax this week. I don't know.
