I appreciated Pete's response in my absence. This seems like one of those situations where a public moderator response needed to be made quickly before things got out of hand. Faith vs science is a conversational powder keg. Pete's response was well thought out and respectful to all parties, in my opinion. I reiterated the call for some self moderation by members. While it says "talk about anything here" , we really don't need to have conversations that are so likely to flame up the membership. This is the time for moderating staff to take responsibility for maintaining at atmosphere of responsible posting...which sometimes involves limits.
