Not sure why he lumped me in there, though, but he has avoided explaining it. I guess he's just content to make snide accusations about someone and run away.
I can see what he means in regards to your posts in this thread, but don't recall any others outside of that.
I think most of the tension on AF is usually due to atheist vs theist debates. But since the election happened, I feel there's been more atheist vs atheist tension than usual, especially among people who normally get along just fine. We're not used to seeing that, so it's just making people come off as grumpier and more argumentative than usual.
That's my theory, anyway.
"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."
