I don't think there are many people here who don't know that LOTM often brings his religion into thread topics in a way that other posters (even those who have the same religion as him) do not. It's just what he does, like how Tuberski always signs his posts with "ACK!" or the fact that Ming sometimes makes humorous spelling errors, or the fact that I like to talk about Apple computers and Communism.
There's no reason that he shouldn't be called on it, or occasionally wound up about it (I've done that myself), but that is a lot different from stalking him on the forums and bringing it up all the time.
Most posters here have their own foibles, and making fun of them is part of the community. But when it is done to excess, it becomes harassment.Only feebs vote.

Seriously though Ming, you let EON go around and contribute NOTHING positive or insightful while asher had negative parts, he also had many positive ones as well."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

EON hates Civ4/BtS is an expected and somewhat amusing thread.

If I were unable to defend myself by exposing the intellectual fraud and nullity behind it, that might be a different matter.
It's at least as enjoyable as when Asher was riled enough to start a thread on what being cultured entailed.
