Re: Papal visit: Cardinal Newman's 'miracle cure'

FWIW I object to any permanent ban on Jeff, or even requiring of him an
apology. I read Mark's comments the way Mark meant it, but that said, I
don't think that what followed justifies demanding that Jeff either
apologises or states that his command of English is 'incompetent'. What
happened to the Biblical principle that we must forgive? As far as I
understand it, we are told to forgive others unconditionally, not dependant
on an apology from them.

It seems to me that there's a difference between (1) what Christians
should do in their private dealings with one another and (2) what
rules should be followed in uk.r.c in the interests of maintaining
a decent quality of discussion.

Wouldn't your reasoning lead to the conclusion that no one should
ever be put on manual moderation for any longer than the time it
takes them to apologize?
