| Aug 7, 2013 at 18:33 | comment | added | wax eagle Mod | @Shog9 god is back and just as bad, can you burn it again and blacklist it? Or do I need to start the meta post anew? | |
| Dec 17, 2012 at 19:20 | comment | added | Shog9 | I've removed the god tag, and carefully avoided any blasphemous jokes in announcing this. If it returns, it can be blacklisted. jesus I think needs further consideration; I'm not convinced christology is an effective replacement, though it may work as a synonym. | |
| Dec 3, 2012 at 18:37 | comment | added | Caleb Mod | @Wikis: Thank you for graciously assuming the better possible interpretation. | |
| Dec 3, 2012 at 18:25 | comment | added | Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE | @Caleb: regarding your first point, I guessed that was the case but thanks for confirming! And, yes, I appreciate your second point. | |
| Dec 3, 2012 at 11:15 | comment | added | Caleb Mod | @Wikis: [...] I don't think they should be the main topic, just that in order for this to be a constructive venue I believe the differences should be explicitly acknowledged. They are the framework in which we work. If we try to take them out or stop acknowledging that they exist, I think our differences will actually tear this site apart rather than holding it together. If we go into every question knowing there are boundaries between us which must be respected, I think we'll get something built. If we go into every question trying to defend our ground, this will just be another debate forum. | |
| Dec 3, 2012 at 11:15 | comment | added | Caleb Mod | @Wikis: 2 things if I may. First, reviewing these comments I feel like I should make it explicitly clear that I wasn't trying to hint that you didn't belong here. I wrote that post early on without any specific individuals in mind, it was just a general vision thing. I stand by my opinion about how this will work best, but also feel strongly about the value of contributors who don't share quite the same vision. Second, I do think I understand where you're coming from not wanting differences to be the primary focus. [cont...] | |
| Nov 29, 2012 at 5:27 | comment | added | Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE | @Caleb: btw, I don't resent the differences, I just don't think they should be our primary focus. | |
| Nov 29, 2012 at 5:27 | comment | added | Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE | @Caleb: you may be right, maybe I am trying to make the site something it is not, and maybe it is indeed not for me. I'll keep an open mind either way and hang around as long as I can add value and the site remains interesting to me. | |
| Nov 28, 2012 at 11:13 | comment | added | Caleb Mod | @Wikis: I've ranted about this before and stand by statement: "If you are more inclined to resent rather than celebrate the differences between us, then this may not be the site for you. Our differences are more than divisions between us, they are boundaries that define us. The only hope we have of crossing them is to identify and respect them." | |
| Nov 28, 2012 at 11:13 | comment | added | Caleb Mod | @Wikis: A secular site with an inclusive scope will never be a bastion of the truth. If that's what we try to make it, it is bound to fail. There is no way for that to work. However, I believe there is a purpose it can serve. We cannot pretend to be a united front because we are not the church. What we can do is be a public square where traditions meet that promotes understanding of each-others positions. We have already seen remarkable accomplishments in this area, but it only happens by focusing on the differences between us, allowing each party to articulate their own positions. | |
| Nov 28, 2012 at 5:34 | comment | added | Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE | I completely disagree, especially with your opening sentence. If tags reflect our site and we kick off with the divided church, I think our focus is wrong. I am really not interested in doctrinal differences. I guess I am only interested in The Truth, but, as you say, that is not what this site is for. Anyone else struggle with this and can offer some wise counsel? | |
| Nov 27, 2012 at 22:29 | comment | added | El'endia Starman Mod | I love the classifications of primary and secondary tags. That'll help so much when we need to scope a question. In fact...maybe we could incorporate that into a FAQ meta post. I think we should. | |

| Nov 27, 2012 at 21:51 | comment | added | wax eagle Mod | It should be noted that abandoning a tag entirely is hard work and will require buy in from several community members, the typical process for getting rid of a tag is eliminating it from every question it exists on and then asking SEI to blacklist it. We should try to limit this as best we can but some big ones may need to go. | |
| Nov 27, 2012 at 21:49 | comment | added | wax eagle Mod | doctrine should be blacklisted. | |
| Nov 27, 2012 at 21:49 | comment | added | wax eagle Mod | tbh, jesus should be merged into christology and god should either be merged into something more technical or abandoned entirely | |
