I don't even want to talk about banning her, let alone talk any more about her. <g> Karen

Fine by me. Banning her might be a bit harsh - I don't think she's really that likely to post here, especially now... - and I never thought of her as the LWP sort anyway. I know, that was reprehensible. But it had to be said <g>

I am considering banning Mother Teresa, and all talk of her, from this thread. A stable door exercise? The problem is that, IMO, she has become, at least on SI, more the symbol of other issues than the issue herself. It's perfectly possible to discuss her in a calm, intelligent, and dispassionate manner; it just hasn't been done here. But should she be blamed, or banned, because people can't behave themselves? Those who want to battle over issues of faith and atheism will just find another target. Better, IMO, that you ban any mention of religion or lack thereof. Then we're down to politics as the only subject of controversy, and that's, after all, sort of what we're here for anyhow.
