Just want to quickly address this one point. A website is not private. It is
not a home. I do not need an invitation to come in, I can get there through
any one of a number of valid & common methods of using the internet. No one
has to knock on your door to come in. If you put your beliefs up to public
scrutiny(1), then you have to expect them to be scrutinized.
1: Having a publicly available website, and then bringing attention to it by
posting a link on a publicly accessable website (with, I might add, no
disclaimer or suggestion that people should share what you believe before
coming in) certainly counts. If that's insufficient, how about this:

actually become a part of it. Upon request, we will provide you with 10Mb of
personal web space on our server free of charge. Now you can create your own
personal or professional web pages for all the world to see.

All the world - Not "people who share my beliefs" or "people I invite".

Not addressing other issues - I've made my opinion known.
