Well, I really agree with you, Susie, I'd say at least it's odd, if not crazy, that you can't trust exers with discussing that, if they choose to...
Since there's quite a big sympathy - mine included - for movingon-website...it really "offended" me, that there they have the freedom to discuss that, even if they sometimes use "naughty" expressions - not alone on that subject though - and here the "old Bottles" are left with the less inflammatory subjects, however I tend to think, that theology can be even more inflammatory, that's why things get at least "shifted" into the journeys-section.
Although I deplore the tendencies (including at moving on) to attack the person in a mean way -by the way I am just reading about Luther again, how mean his expressions were towards his opponents -
rather than dealing with the thoughts and arguments, I find it a bit "silly", to exclude politics, just because it wasn't handled right in the discussions...I didn't participate in it, neither did I read it, cause it didn't interest me
at that time...but how on earth are people to mature (talking about it, practicing it) if they
are forbidden...after all it's part of life...
Is it better, to just discuss diets?????
But if it'd remain "forbidden", then I could live with that, since it's not the most urgent need in my life...at the moment...
