How it looked from my pov:
I saw your wife Betty yesterday, and she is Ugly!
You can call my wife ugly if you want, but you should know her name is Linda, and she's been dead for 10 years.
Clearly you are rattled by my insult as you have chosen to respond!
Ugggggggg! You didn't insult me, your logic does. Learn the difference.
It isn't just Buddhism, I criticize ALL religions, and if you spent any time reading my posts here, I go after other atheists as well.

This is an unfortunate misunderstanding, and I've wasted your time. I'm solely talking about a single line you posted, and am not talking about any of the content in the thread.
You said: No you are not fine with anyone calling it nonsense otherwise why make the attempt to "correct" me.
He was not correcting you because you called it nonsense. He was correcting you because you said something he thought was a mischaracterization.
As in my example:
The guy responding doesn't care that the other guy thinks Betty is ugly. He's just clarifying that he's not married to Betty.
It just struck me as funny, as you were complaining about how people treat your criticism of religion, and then that guy posted a super polite non-confrontational post, and you started your rebuttal with the bolded line above. Again, waste of our time. I'd undo it all if I could.
