The BIG difference is that none of these forums have discussions about lifestyles and condemning others who don't fit a particular one. Now granted we have had some pretty spirited talks about the pro's and con's of having a trickle filter on a reef tank (I am against it for all those who may be wondering) but no one has EVER used the word "backslidder!" when talking about someone who used to use one but no longer does.

Yeah, but nobody thinks one's beliefs on trickle filters have eternal consequences for one's soul!

That was the point of me saying that no one ever called someone a "backslidder!" for not using a piece of equipment that someone else does.

And a good point it was.

It's just English, friend. If someone is a backslider, they are not backslide. They are backslid. You wouldn't say "I am backslide".
