Soooo, it's probably time we dropped the personal issues/soap boxes to do with religious topics.
Save them for twitter or slashdot. -

Save them for twitter or slashdot.Maybe, but they play an important role. As a religious organization they are focused on image, behaviour, etc. If the network admin is there, they yell at him as a proxy for yelling at the ISP. If they were yelling at him, they must feel that there is a reason. Either they hate him, or they want him to pass it on, etc. But as they are people who's business goal is to teach behaviour, doesn't it play a central role in the conversation? In a case like this, how can one separate the religious behaviour from how we must interact as IT people?

Remember, we are talking about an organization that IS a soapbox, in the closest literally sense before you actually use a physical soapbox (there is probably even a raised area replacing the physical soapbox.) It's difficult to discuss soapboxes without being on one too.

This has been beaten to death. Advice has been given. And the topic is bound to get too hot. Time to lock this one down.
