Lets try and keep it about Kilts - not the other Thank you
Indeed. Quite right, Thomas.

The nature of discussion for this forum are KILTS in the media -- not bars with the word "kilt" in them. This thread STARTED off-topic, and there really isn't much here in the way of comments that ISN'T either complaining about this particular church group wanting to shut down a bar, OR groups of people wishing to impose their sense of values or morals on others in general... While it may be discussion-worthy, it does seem to violate the rules.

Discussing how a community chooses to run its affairs, along with a church group lobbying to achieve their own purposes seems an awful lot like an unholy mix of religion AND local politics.

Rule #5
- Discussions on the topics of religion and politics most often result in conflict between members. Posts which quote historical facts or historical events are acceptable. Discussions of the rightness or wrongness of, espousing one over another, perceptions of, or personal belief in, a religion or political system are not acceptable. Quite simply, check your religion and politics at the door before entering.

Furthermore, this forum is for "Kilts in the media." As I mentioned before, this has nothing to do with kilts OR with kilts in the media. As such, another rule also comes into play:

Rule #12
– The topic of discussion on this forum is the kilt. Discussions veering off the topic or discussions or photos which stress topics other than the kilt will be subject to removal.

Be advised, that this thread has been reported to the moderators as possibly being in violation of XMTS forum rules. As such, it is being locked, pending moderator discussions on whether or not it shall be re-opened. If it is found to be in violation of our rules, it will remain locked (and may be removed). Otherwise, if the moderator team finds it acceptable, it will be re-opened.

Thank you for your understanding,
