[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 5085540, member: 115"] Having looked at the thread (thanks Nifft!), and with the caveat that I didn't read the thread it was forked from, I can't possibly agree. There's one cardinal rule here at ENW: No politics, no religion. The topic at hand skirts the edge of religion very finely. The very first post in the thread by Mercurius opened the door for problems by mentioning religion (as howandwhy99 posted). I think that the discussion, while heated, was fine. However, Celebrim's post (#33) clearly breaks the "no religion" rule. It was this post, and I believe that specific aspect of it, that Umbran was responding to. He also warned everyone else not to go down that path, and rightfully so. Would the moderation have been better coming from a mod uninvolved in the discussion? Probably. Was it an appropriate mod action nonetheless? Yes. [/QUOTE]
