(Ian 4/23) Well, I for one can do without the preaching but I'm not sure
how this would be enforced. Till is too busy to keep track of all this.
Suppose person A objects to person B's posting for whatever reason.
Person A could request that person B be removed from the list and state
the reason. If X number of people agree, then they get removed.
Yeah, enforcing a preaching ban gets complicated. If Till is too busy to
keep track, who'd count the votes? I for one simply delete messages without
reading them from anyone who preaches. The FAQ might state anyone who
preaches runs the risk of this happening.
No, I think Farrell's Equal Response idea is probably the best: basically
tell inerrantists in a FAQ the purpose of the list is biblical errancy & if
they want to discuss anything else, they must respond to errancy questions
or they simply get ignored. My idea was too restrictive, but I still think
listing sample problems inerrantists will be expected to respond to is a
good idea.
