Let me ask which response should not be taken seriously and why. Is not douche milder and less offensive than fucktard? Do I not try to fit in with the spirit of the forums? Is there not a difference between bawdiness and mean-spirited degradation?
FWIW bullshit is an interesting word in that actually does have a very narrow meaning for which there is no adequate substitute. It applies to statements presented as facts that the speaker knows, or should know, to be unfounded assertions, often with the intent to impress.
I do not dispute that I have said some unwarranted nasty things but I have also been quick to apologize and ask forgiveness. I have traded cutting insults with other forum members but more often than not with people who already know that I otherwise respect them.
Theists are second-class members on AF and always will be. I'm a big boy and can accept that. I expect people to assume the worst. A the same time, CL correctly pointed out that I started this suggestion thread without any religious motivation. Is it really so inconceivable that I have different notions of decorum that have nothing to do with my religious beliefs?
