I deal with that inside my own extended family ... Like if I don't share their beliefs, it's taken personally.
We're all entitled to believe what we do. However, that's not why it's in the TOS. It's in there because history shows it's a volatile topic and it's much easier to forbid it than to try to control it. It's an off limits topic at work too.
With that said, nothing in this thread has offended me. Someone could be quoting the Koran, and I wouldn't care. Why? Freedom of speech. The line gets crossed when someone tries to force their views on others. However, message boards are notorious for something said innocently being blown up and becomes out of control. I wouldn't want that here.
I don't believe the mod was trying to make this personal. There's a lot of tension with a virus out there claiming lives. With social distancing and stay at home orders, I'm glad we have this place to vent and socialize. Let's roll with it and move on.
