Addressed to the members of gloria.tv,
The administration and the news contributors of gloria.tv work with little and oftentimes no material gain to show for their efforts. Some would call this a labor of love and it is. It is a love for our Savior from whom and for whom all of our actions flow.
Our hope is that gloria.tv will continue to grow in both membership and in contributors. To accomplish this goal, we must continue to strive for excellence in the presentation of news items, in the type and variety of videos that are featured and, perhaps most importantly, in the quality of comments that appear at this site.
It is the hope of the administration that members would monitor their own comments and avoid personal attacks that have nothing at all to do with the subject being discussed. Unfortunately, especially of late, this has not happened.

I rather think you need to qualify this somewhat. If the search for truth is indeed that, a 'search', one does need to struggle with ones ideas etc. The best way to arrive at some …More

I rather think you need to qualify this somewhat. If the search for truth is indeed that, a 'search', one does need to struggle with ones ideas etc. The best way to arrive at some understanding of the truth is in discussion.
However, this means that the discussion needs to be civilised, while having the content reflecting the poster's understanding at that point in time. I think that it is a matter of 'teachability'. Posters must be opened to being taught, progressing from where they are at, to where they ought to be (according to that "truth" of which you speak).
Therefore, I think it is a matter of learning humility and good ethics, rather than a matter of not airing ones 'oppinion' in public.
