Tyler and I only shut things down when the discussion becomes a bit
overheated. This does not "close" the topic forever. I have some
preferences about things I'd rather not talk about because I know
from experience that (a) tempers can get a bit flared and (b) they
can go on and on without resolution.
If somebody brand-new jumps in and wants discussion on a topic that we
talked about just a couple of weeks ago, Tyler and I will probably
reject that message.
But, there is no "closed-topic" list. It's all a judgement call,
really. Asking others to refer to the archives in this "faith/more
faith" thread, as you and others have done, is an appropriate action to
take.
