I thought a user was playing a strange game to get people to react by describing their spiritual convictions and cultural tolerance. The effects were so mirror-different than what he seemed to want that I thought it was intentional. All we have is persuasion. We, meaning we who use words. Put-downs may or may not persuade the reader of your cause, but the sure give the reader a feel for your personality.
Hosts can ban users from public conferences.
In most cases I'll ask that the host first start a topic backstage, and get some sense of how it feels to the host community. But I try to be flexible, and sensitive to unique situations. Your posts will be scribbled. The ban starts as of the time of this mail. WELL management will check in with the host regarding this situation.
