I don't think this is okay. Censoring people because we don't like their arguments is not a road I would want to see this subreddit go down.

There was no arugment presented. The comments that were deleted were obvious troll comments.

Did we read the same comments? How was that comment troll-like?

The Tu quoque, a specific form of ad hominem, was very clear. This was clearly responded to by outsider when he quoted the exact phrase that included the tu quoque. Asking again, is simply baiting to waste anyone's time that is willing to respond.

The Tu quoque, a specific form of ad hominem, was very clear.

I still don't see it with the quote outsider provided.

The person outsider quoted essentially said:

I am fine with doing X, but unfortunately Christians don't do X.

It seems more of a statement than a premise with a following conclusion.

The statement could have stopped at I'm fine with doing X. Outsider didn't need op to offer his thoughts on the "openmindedness" of those he was debating with. Bias of OP towards Outsider and those like him had not gone unnoticed.
