Is there no limit

Under "Happy Blaspheme Days"on R/T there were several rude, highly offensive posts. I can't believe you just let them stay posted. , There ought to be a limit. I have tried to bring a bit more reason to r/t, but when these sorts of post are allowed, I feel as if I should just get out of that post altogether.

1. I'm not familiar with that thread.

My advice is for you to alert, if you haven't done so.

Unfortunately, moderating the religion wars is never easy. We do the best we can.

3. Since nobody up there seems to be acquainted

Let me offer a few direct quotes.

"Jesus was a not nose brat. Mary was a whore. Joseph had sex with camels."

"The virgin birth story is a load of crap."

"Mohammed was a blood-thirsty egomaniac"

"Buddah be damned"

So how does any of that move anything ahead the DU has to offer?

As long as the mike_c primitive's on Skins's island, yeah, that's the best Skins's island has to offer.

4. To be clear, I don't want to endorse any of that.

But I think it is worth noting that the title of the thread is "Happy Blaspheme Day", which appears to be a real thing. So, the whole point of the thread was to post blasphemous things. And lo and behold, the thread was full of blasphemous posts.

Offhand I don't know which posts were alerted, and which posts were not, and which posts the moderators chose to remove and which they chose to let stay. I suppose one option would be for us to just not allow blasphemy on DU, and disallow the entire Blasphemy Day thread, but that seems absurd too. Which brings me back to what I said in an earlier post:

It also helps if the offensive poster is a serious donor...

Good Luck TMO. I wish you well in your battles with the heathen. Next time, either toss the coin of the realm towards skinner and minion, or volunteer to be a moderator on that forum.
That'll teach 'em to screw with you and your belief system.
