We can not expect these individuals to behave in a civilized manner. Unlike many other forums the moderators here do not require posters to actually back up or even provide any explanation for their statements or claims. So these irresponsible or unaccountable posts are a lot like some whimsical artwork or personal free association - purposefully provided not so much for the reader's learning but their entertainment, confusion, and distraction desires.
Remember this behavior is encouraged because it addresses a very real need.
i'd also love to know what the moderators have to say about this one.
Just one person's opinion, just like anything else said on this forum. Generally, I think people's perception of the forums is largely unconsciously formulated based on what we "need" to see in order to grow. What stands out, what one latches on to, what one feels the desire to express and point out - there's a purpose to all of these.
To address another theme in this thread, regarding how people address Adonai One within these threads. Typically conversation should be kept to discussing the content of one's post and not personally discussing the poster. This already grey area becomes more blurred when a post is presented as factual information rather than opinion. When the source of information is the person themselves, it becomes difficult to discuss the information without discussing the person.
I appreciate the discussion in this thread regarding the usefulness of such information presented in the OP. I think it is most beneficial.
edit: clarification
