The Problem of Evil (XXVII)

[LadyForCamus]

Lady for Camus, I believe this was our very first exchange on your thread called Scientific Knowledge verus spiritual knowledge: http://atheistforums.org/thread-40576-po...pid1161465
I did not call you stupid. I said you were ignorant, specifically with regards to the definition of knowledge as it has been understood in the field of philosophy since the time of Plato. Later I did call you stupid in response to you saying that theists were not welcome on AF: http://atheistforums.org/thread-40576-po...pid1161481 So yes, you are right I did call you stupid and ignorant. I overreacted. If I did not already do so, I apologize.

I do not say this in any way to excuse what I said. I am glad that you feel you have found a home on AF in the 6+ months you have been here. I hope you can understand why I reacted negatively. I have been contributing for about 4 years now so when you said theists are not welcome on AF, I took that as a sign of great disrespect, not just to me, but to AF as a whole. Since you joined, you seemed very hostile to the long-time theists on this board before taking the time to understand that we have history with some of the other members with whom we trade playful jabs. Occasionally, a long-time atheist member and I will have bitter disputes that include insults and vulgarities on both sides. The vigor of our debates does not mean that at the end of the day we don't still have a modicum of respect for one another.

Um...okay? You apologized to me and then put me on ignore? If your reasoning is lack of a prompt response on my part, I'm sorry. I was not ignoring you, I'm just home with a two year old all day, so my time during the day is limited. I will agree with you that I most certainly have a feeble grasp of philosophy. If you will take me off of ignore I have every intention of giving a detailed and thoughtful response to your words, but if you'd prefer to sever communications that's obviously your choice, and I won't waste my time.
