The op was simply asking whether or not anyone on here adhered to Wiccan beliefs... who knows, maybe if there was enough people he was planning on starting another thread about something related? I don't think he should have any burden to educate anybody in this specific context. The thread was not started by saying someone/everyone should be Wiccan or that society ought to follow Wiccan values in a deliberation of the death penalty.
Seems a little unjust imo...

I'm going to have to go ahead and agree with this. If somebody starts a non-confrontational thread about their religious beliefs and those religious beliefs are then ridiculed the OP should have the right to have the thread closed. If I made a thread about following Judaism and suddenly people started dropping Jew jokes I imagine the thread could be locked immediately at my request.
My issue isn't that anybody around here was overly insulting, but rather that somebody felt their personal beliefs were being attacked, made a request to have the thread locked and the request was denied. I agree with Fatso, the OP shouldn't have to back-up or explain anything. All my opinion of course.
