Like I said I think thinly veiled homophobia would have been a much more legitimate reason to lock the thread rather than somebody getting their knickers in a twist over a cartoon.
I didn't think we did but maybe we do need some forum rules about which topics are off limits. There have been plenty of interesting debates and threads that had nothing to do with trading or any markets and they weren't locked. I can only remember one thread in my time here that was locked and justifiably so.
I have to ask Peter would you have locked the thread if you hadn't been called out by name?
I wasn't even aware that I was called out by name?
I don't particularly have much involvement in moderation on a day to day basis as I've got so much on my plate, so it's typically not me that gets involved. The thread was locked to give people a bit of time out. 99.999999999% of stuff here is free and easy and we want to keep it that way where possible.

I don't want to fall out with anybody over this so maybe I'll just keep religion out of my comments going forward.
Unless Betfair open a next Pope market of course!

He said he would if he could, but obviously he couldn't.

Actually, that's a funny point. As I did trade the previous next pope market and it was a corker. Never have I been so excited to see some white smoke.
It was amusing to watch the 'two popes' a few years later and see what happened on the other side to bring in that 28/1 shot!

As I was typing that I was trying to remember if there was a Next Pope market that time but there was and obviously I didn't trade it for some reason!
Must have been an interesting market to trade, can't imagine there was much info to go on about front runners etc... And doubt if there were any leaks especially seeing as though they were all in conclave
TBH i could see the locked thread going off subject. Probably contributed to that, for which I apologise.
But perhaps there is a need for a religious discussion thread. Or is this like a dinner party. Certain subjects are too inflammatory. Religion, politics, law and order, capital punishment etc? Personally, I'm very disappointed with betangel for locking that thread over a cartoon. It puts me in mind of Charlie Hebdo.
jimibt was making a fair point. If your faith is as resilient as you believe, it was water of a ducks back!

It's not, nickname I got multiple years ago from a friend. Stands for "One Dimensional Paul" due to having a perceived musical taste for only trance music and nothing else (which is a lie, I like all forms of excessively fast dance music plus synthwave and classical)
