Delicate Offers a Truce

I'm not a trusting soul.  Particularly with regard to someone who posted 400 threads of insults, and starting out with the post whose title was an insult. Spending your Christmas trashing people you have never met and never will meet - - - didn't deliver too many meals and donations to the needy this Christmas, did you?  Too busy feeding your need to hate somebody.

So pass over your white flag - it has a pole on it, it's a weapon too, after all.   I'll make you this deal, troll.   I won't respond to anything you post for three days.  
     If you actually change your ways, I'll give you the flag back and apologize, on my part, for nominating you as the best troll statesman for atheism the world will ever see.  If you don't, I'll hand the pole over to the admins and beg them to turn it into a big bad ban-hammer.

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.

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.

Nope, you will not make a passive aggressive "request" which really is a demand in the form of "poor me".

No, the only ones who dictate behavior here are the admins. If you don't like what someone is saying, take it up with that individual. If they don't respond the way you like, the next step is the admins. The admins will not always side with you. They also don't always side with atheists either.

I am not a library atheist type, some here are, again, stop the poor me crap, and treat us as individuals.

Is it my syntax or spelling? Or are the words I'm.using just too rootin-tootin highfalutin?

Talk is cheap, Delicate. Put up or shut up. Just like anywhere else in life, how you treat others here will largely determine how you are treated in return. To misquote Thump, we tend to make change in the currency tendered. So far you've been a twat with an agenda...

This post is chock full of the kind of antagonism that begs me to respond in kind.

I'm striving hard not to respond the way I used to.

With all due respect, if you think I'm trying to dictate behavior, you've totally missed the point.

But I value your opinion regardless. Thanks for sharing.

I don't understand why there needs to be a thread for this.

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

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

I fart in your general direction

You're a bigger man than I, Quantum.  I have no shits to give of any kind.
