You're not answerable for how anyone feels about what they think your beliefs mean. Sharing your beliefs or discussing them is a gift that you can bestow or withdraw at any time. I know which I would do right now in your shoes.
Oh, come on Whateverist. CL is a big girl. She comes here at will and knows that her beliefs and motivations will be challenged. And if she feels she's being misunderstood she is perfectly capable of clarifying herself. There's no need to coddle.
Having my beliefs challenged is one thing. Being told "fuck you, you horrible horrible person" along with the annoying straws, is something entirely different. I'm grateful for Whateverist for coming to my defense. He's a friend, and one of the nicest people on this forum.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
