I have only rejoined this list after leaving about a year or so ago when
there was some prolonged, pointless and serious OT flaming and abuse. I am
sorry to say that it appears that not much seems to have changed when
members can get so involved in this particular topic.
I become particularly concerned when it starts to bring out arguments about
the basis of the law and morality and venturing into theology.
I am not saying that these are not interesting topics, and I would probably
enjoy a discussion with our Baptist pastor member about the relative value
of a belief in the divine as opposed to a socially agreed prohibition on
stealing. However I would do it off-list so that we might avoid either
offending or boring people who are here for the OM content. I urge other to
do the same.
