Okay, I've been very busy the past few days and come back pretty tired, so I'm going to be blunt:
1. Openess
The Liberal Christianity board is for the discussion of Liberal Christianity, viewpoints, ideas, etc.
And anyone's invited to take part so long as there's a general respect.
I'm getting the impression of late that some people think the LC board is a closed club - no one comes in unless they're Liberal, but Liberal's can go out to Mainstream boards and post against Mainstream faith issues.
Note to all - that's not how we do things here. The LC board isn't closed to non-LC's, just as LC's aren't going to be thrown out of the Mainstream boards. I'm putting a stop to this divisionist mentality right now.
2. Rules for the LC board
Come on - we already have a CoC, and while it's great that anyone takes interest enough in CR to suggest what they'd like to see on any of the boards, when members start setting up their own public mandates on how boards should be run, without discussion with staff, that gets my back up.
I'm trying to be accomodating and offer hospitality - but this again is getting out of line. If "no personal attacks" isn't in the CoC, it needs to be in there - which of course it is. If there is anything you think needs adding to it, feel free to mention it.
3. Offensive posts
If you see any offensive posts, please report them using the little red triangle in the bottom left, or PM one of the staff directly.
Please avoid launching into attacks on other people on the public forums. I don't want LC people looking the mirror expression of everything they hate in others.
Overall, this board has been up a very short time, but it's already like watching Lord of the Flies in action.
Let's take a step back and remind ourselves that the Liberal Christianity board is a place to discuss Liberal Christian issues, is open to general liberal interpretations of faith, and as with all other boards on CR, is open for public view and participation.
