Delicate Offers a Truce

[Edwardo Piet]

I recognize that I have hurt Evie a lot with my posts.

For that I'm sorry.

I'm easily hurt lately. You haven't hurt me much... someone else has hurt me more than you have. Thankfully it's not any of my friends. I fucking my friends.

I am not sure you have even "hurt" me at all, you've merely added to my emotional exhaustion but you're not responsible for me being emotionally exhausted and vulnerable in the first place.

For the record I don't think you are sincere, although you may be sincerely trying to be sincere.... I'm not sure. Depends if you're going to stop poisoning the well or not, as Robvalue says. I would say my view of you is more in line with Rob's than anyone else's, on this thread. If you can consistently start talking to us as people that would be good...

...I am very skeptical that you will do so--but I'll try to give you the benefit of the doubt.

I don't expect anyone to be gentle with me while I'm at a low point... I only wish to make people aware of my low point(s) and it's up to them what they do with that information.

Babe...the buttons, remember? I buy you nice things and this how you treat me?
You're starting to make me think your heart's not in this!

Seriously, what do you expect me to do with those, Delicate?

A lot of atheists are mad at me. Perhaps for good reason- I've been a bit of a meanie-poo.

But a part of me also feels justified in acting all rambunctious and feisty because that's how I was treated early on without justification.

But I'm willing to set all that aside and start afresh. Clean slate and all.

Is this something we're all amenable to?

Nobody is mad at you, but say for your bad use of logic, yes. Again our reactions are no different than if you had a friend walking around claiming the Yankees won the Superbowl. You are confusing your own cognitive dissonance for us being angry personally at you. Some may be, me personally no, but yes, your bad claims do irritate me. 

I wonder what you expected coming here. If you thought this was going to be a library 100% of the time that was a mistake. Instead of saying "alot of atheists" if you have a beef with someone take it up with that individual not all of us. And if that individual does not respond the way you like, then you go to the admins. That is the way most websites work, including theists websites.

Atheists are not lost puppies for you to save. This website will also NOT boot you merely for believing. They have booted atheists as well. They've also pulled me over a couple of times. 

Now if you are done with your pity party my advice is for you to treat everyone here as individuals. We wont barbecue your kittens nor do we drink blood. You are not the first believer to join this website nor or you the first believer to post on any atheist social media, nor will you be the last.

All of us here have family members and or co workers and friends who have some sort of belief to some degree. We are not mad at you personally, at least not most of us. But again, bad logic irritates most of us. You need to learn to separate you the person, from what you claim. All taking it personally will do is make you miserable.

Irrespective of everything.

We know you are unintelligent, rude and disrespectful.
I'm pretty sure you won't change.

I don't believe you are being a troll.
I think that your attitude is genuinely who you are.

That's the saddest part .....for you.
If you genuinely want to prove your sincerity, them just piss off.

Are you willing to accept the possibility that you are mistaken about me?

I'm sorry that you're going through a lot. I hope you can lean on your friends for comfort and support.

You seem very suspicious of me, and I can understand that. My playfulness can come across as insincere.

Nevertheless, on the off chance you do need someone to talk to, I'm always available. My inbox still has space.

Best of luck. Hope you feel better.

Yes and no. It is unreasonable to control the behaviors of others, that part is true. The only people who have that right on this board are the admins and owner.  But you certainly have the right to respond and or leave and if you are at a low point, sometimes it is good give it a break for a while. It is unhealthy to stay in a situation that is draining you. You can always come back to it when you are up to handling it. Taking breaks is also good.

I understand what you're saying. And I've always, without exception, been willing to discuss these cases of alleged bad logic.

But the evidence has never been forthcoming. Only the assertions come through. And this can be verified by looking at my conversations.

You can also prove me wrong my pointing to the evidence. I welcome that.

I will pledge that if people are willing to debate the issues with substantive criticisms that don't rely on ad hominem attacks, namecalling, deliberate caricatures, and empty rhetoric, I pledge to respond with the same substance, and more.
