To be honest, I believe she was being genuine in her OP. Then people doubted her, and why not return to the old way after that? I would.

^this kind of impaired reading comprehension easily leads to unserious responses on my part because someone who reads my post and comes to this conclusion tends to appear deeply unintelligent.

And yet, given my pledge, I should be gentle, even with persons like this. Wow. Now that's what I call a challenge.

Personally I find this response of yours to Whateverist, to be very condescending, Delicate.

If you're really so desperate for people here to like you, maybe try just behaving in a way that people like?

This is a communal experience. It represents a public address. Individual niceties are witnessed by some individuals and not others, and there isn't a unified response one way or another.

I think it's more a matter of your desperation for attention, which decidedly classifies you as a troll of the common variety.

Ironically, I sense a hint of narcissism and delusions of grandeur, despite you being quite common and predictable, especially as a common forum troll.

Listen, asshole, why should any of us give a shit what you do? What exactly is your mission here? It certainly hasn't included being part of the community.

For me personally, no version of inDelicate is desirable. Bye asshole.

So far you've been a twat with an agenda...

Are you willing to consider the possibility that there's more to the story than that?

(emphasis is mine)

I've seen your posts. I've seen the way reasonable theists are treated here. There isn't. Like I said, put up or shut up.

When someone responds in bad faith to a good faith statement, it's hard to respond in good faith.

I bet common is your favorite word.

Actually, my favorite word is 'anachronistic'

Seriously. I love that word. There are so many ways to use it.

Here, I'll use it in a sentence for you:

Your anachronistic style of trolling is quite dull and boring because I've witnessed it on every single forum I've ever visited since the 1990's.

So, you're still not able or willing to answer a very simple question: What do you actually believe?

So much for honesty. So much for getting the wrong impression. Here's news for you. We've already had quite a lot of arrogance on here. Baseless arrogance for that matter. I like to call it ignorant arrogance, which, by the way, is the one trait earning my heartfelt and unconditional contempt. So you've read books. Wow, I'm really impressed. I'm supposed to be, isn't it, since in your smarmy attempt at being jovial, you felt the need to point that out. To explain why you're looking down on other people.

No, I really don't feel insulted or even challenged by anything you posted here. You're the hallmark of arrogance and arrogance is usually something an utterly pathetic person resorts to. Like the breastpounding gorilla. To appear larger than life. The only difference being, a breatpounding gorilla is something to approach with care. I never got that feeling with your contributions.

Your mother is a hamster, and your father smells of elderberries!

Ya know, I hate to be "this guy," but I'm just thinking back to the best things I learned from kindergarten...if we all communally stop responding to delicate's idiotic posts and he no longer gets the attention he so VERY desperately appears to need, then maybe he will go be a thorn in people's asses somewhere else. Just an idea.
