In a thread on witch classes in the general forum I've asked a person to cease making attacks on Wicca, and been met with additional attacks on the faith.
I'd ask now that something be said to that person.

In no way do I see anything wrong with what he said. He was not attacking any religion or otherwise maligning it in any way. I wish I could come on your side in the matter, but I cannot.
Heck, my best friend and my brother are both Wiccan and they would agree with everything that he said.
The comments made in that thread hardly constitute an "attack." (Well, except for the inappropriate remarks made by Arcady and then edited...)
The quip that seemed to get your goat, Arcady, was the one about modern and medieval witchcraft having little or nothing to do with each other. Now this might be true, and it might be false, but you and everyone else you dragged into your little debate are missing the most important point:
RPG "WITCHES" have nothing to do with medieval witchcraft, modern Wiccans, Christians, Jews, Discordians, or cabbages. RPG "WITCHES" are based on popular notions about witches, e.g. literature, films, etc. RPG "WITCHES" are an imaginary concept for use in games of the imagination.
If you insist on identifying yourself with character classes churned out by WotC and 3rd party publishers, you will no doubt find yourself getting worked up again and again.
Oh, and it's tenets of faith. Tenets. Not "tenants."
"I'll get you, my pretty...and your little dog, too!!!"
GREATER POOP: Are you really serious or what? MAL-2: Sometimes I take humor seriously. Sometimes I take seriousness humorously. Either way it is irrelevant.
I agree; Wiccans should never have even been brought up in the thread, and as soon as they were they should have been ignored. That was where the thread got silly. Also, not that I'm a moderator, but arcady, you're offended stance really seems to come out of left field on this one as well. You're the one who's acting insulting, not fusangite. Oh, and Tom Cashel, I thought you weren't posting anymore?

What, you guys think that our prohibition on not discussing religion only applies to Christianity? Well, almost certainly you don't, but please don't feed the fires when something begins getting nasty.
I am deleting those posts out of the thread, and the thread is staying open.

Yeah, I noticed their absence, too...
So I looked for them. I found them, but they're well-hidden.
Instead of being listed in the main forum index, the lists are now on the bottom right of the individual forums (just above 'Showing Threads 1 to 50 of 1094 (or whatever), sorted by [whatever] in [whatever] order, from last [how ever many] days).

Then what am I seeing, where I am seeing 'report post'? I feel like I am missing something, it it the view?

Actually, now that you mention it, I have thought that, for a long time. Look at that little elf/orc poll you closed down for "gay bashing" just recently.
Attack Judeao-Christian/Conservative ideas on enworld, you're all good.
Attack "alternative" religions/lifestles, you're a naughty person and need to have your threads locked.
Let's just be fair. Close the thread, fine, but keep your comments about that thread 'gay bashing' to private. If we're supposed to keep that crap to private, why don't the mods and admins follow suit?
