[B-Greek] Forum Rules?

Is it against the forum rules to supply a link to a document which contains relevant information but also contains theological statements?

Is it appropriate to make a rational but off-topic response on the list to someone who makes repeated and occasionally accusatory posts which contain neither evidentiary claims nor reasoned arguments for or against the topic on hand?

Sincerely,
Charles Granby
