Shallow dweeb that I am, I venture timidly over into the "Deep Waters" section every now and then to partake of the wisdom and enlightenment that flows like water from the Intelligentsia..
So moving it here doesn't exactly keep anybody from bumping into it. I don't know why you would think that it would.
Having said that, it will be easy enough to ignore the thread.
I simply expressed an opinion, an unpopular one it seems. We still get to do that around these here parts, don't we?
I guess I need to know if you are wearing your admin hat or your foil hat currently, so that I can adjust the verbiage accordingly.
At any rate, if these conversations are what trips your trigger, be my guest.
But keep in mind that you are talking to a man who walked away from truth for perversion and deception of the most abominable kind, and who has embraced about as wicked and depraved a heresy as hell ever concocted.
The good Apostle Paul said a heretic who didn't turn it around after the second admonition was to be rejected.
How many admonitions are you all up to now?
It's not just an individual, it's an issue. I believe issues like this become so big because the church would rather bury it's head than confront them head on.
We do the same things with other issues like Trinity etc etc.
BTW, and I will try to make this my last post on this womder of a thread, you might go back and re-read Romans 1 before you get too excited about your outreach efforts here.
Unrepentant gays are almost always recruiting when they show up at church.
It may or may not be the same here, but sympathy and agreement is what they are after at the very least.
I believe the admin team needs to take a look at the policy on this if they haven't already.
If you allow this, there will be more show up, and you are going to very likely start something you don't want to have around here.

While I don't mind one being here to discuss the issue, I agree that someone should be done if his friends join up to discuss it as well.

Coonskinner makes some valid points. I believe others have already been on this thread...
I would add that at the very least; there is a difference between talking about what the Word of God says and bringing one's personal feelings and life into the picture (sympathy vote).
Furthermore; there is a bright line in Scripture about not associating with those that claim to be brothers but commit fornication (which is likely just a step above attempting to persuade others that it is ok to do the same).

I have attempted to address that point and several times now have steered the topic or tried, back to the scriptures.
I may, after this, put my foot down to insist this remain a biblical discussion. We really do not want a promotion of the gay lifestyle or any perceived agenda. Let it be based on what the bible says and let it remain there.
