No. And while you might have been thinking it, and it's your opinion, which you have a right to, you can't reasonably expect people not to snap back when you decided to be an asshole and put it out there unnecessarily.

I agree. I didn't expect it to go without remark, and haven't argued that it shouldn't. I actually admitted I deserved an insult in return.

You said:

Sure, but several go beyond certain people in certain moments. Read page 2 (assuming ten per page view). It's some messed up stuff.

Ah, I should have said that I rarely leave my comfort zone, as I leave my house every single day without fail. At no point did I say I was afraid to leave the house.

Personally, I think the vagina insult was unwarranted. After all, vaginas do have their usefulness.

And now you've found jesus and you're a full-fledged nut.

Normally, I'd play the ball, not the man, but - John V? You are a twat.

I have lost interest in what you are interested in.
And what the fuck should she be projecting on you? Do you know people read the stuff you write here? Do you know that you were the first one to insult someone here?

I to dont leave my house...... because it`s cold outside and humans have learned to settle down 6400 years ago during the neolithic era.

And is there any kind of way in which one can interpret the "not leaving house" comment in a non condacending way?
The best thing for you would simply be to stop commenting here or to simply appologise for the "you people are messed up" ccomment.
But maybe you have a fetish for being the center of negative attention. Or maybe not, seeing how you seem to desperatly turn the subject arround and centering it arround the insults thrown at you after your remark.

At the risk of being perceived as childish: You started it!

and what do you mean with "you were really messed up"?

Do you have somekind of qualification to set standerds on what is more messed up and what is less, Herr Obergruppenpsychiatrist?

John V was very successful with his endeavors in this thread and he couldn't have done it without your support. You all deserve a big round of applause. Well done.

It's anecdotal, but I have a feeling there is a higher rate of mental illness in the atheist community than other communities.

Well, there is definitely a correlation between mental illness and higher than average IQ.

I imagine there's also a correlation between mental illness and extremely low IQ too.
