Post Locked

octoberose:
I’m at a loss why the posts below are locked . Could the moderators explain ?

Dave in Tenn:
I'll try, briefly.  They were locked after either a post or a link which was deemed to have violated the rules was removed.  The threads were locked "temporarily" and remained locked when our collective experience and judgement determined that further discussion was likely to produce more of the same.

I'd like to make it clear that in neither case was it a "punishment" or even an admonition to the OP's or necessarily to any other contributor to the threads.  Everybody who needed to be contacted, was.

octoberose:
It’s upsetting to see that speech for a Godly purpose is curtailed on the forum .  We look like the world .

Dave in Tenn:
As a practical matter, if "we" had determined that the OP (original post) had violated the rules of the forum, the entire thread would be removed.  As you have seen, they aren't. 

I know very much what "the world" looks like.  The "world" looks an awful lot like my facebook feed.  :)   As best as we can, the rules and our "enforcement" are designed so that we DON'T look like the world (and the worldly church). 

octoberose:
I’m still at a loss why the discussion was stopped . If it was from the authors of the discussion then just say that .
