Thank you, Tosh. Here is Nin's wording:
ToshoftheWuffingas wrote: To be fair to Nin, it was judgmentalism, not religion that I think she feared. We have religious people currently in ToE with no problem. It is a fact that some religious people are very judgmental and use their religion to justify it just as other religious people are tolerant. It is the intolerance not the religion that would be the problem.
It seems that Nin is saying that people fear this poster will be judgmental simply because they are highly religious. Of course, that may not be what she meant. I would consider it legitimate for someone to object to an applicant because they have shown judgmentalism, but not because they fear they might show judgmentalism due to being highly religious.
Quote: The person is known to be a highly religious person, and several other persons fear that this new poster will introduce an element of judgement in ToE which has been so far carefully avoided.
Thank you, Estel.
Would it be possible for you to underline, bold or color all the portions of the new proposal that are different, so that I don't miss anything? Shall I replace the proposal in the other thread with this one?
Everyone, may I ask that we continue the discussion in the other thread (that is, the BALLOT discussion thread in this forum)? This may involve some annoying copying and pasting initially to reply to things said here, but I think shortly it will make it much easier to refer to the changes in ideas as they develop.
