Now can I respectfully ask that you properly READ my posts before knee-jerking into reaction?
I did not claim outright that you were about to verbally abuse me. Rather I was attempting to show how verbal abuse is always a possibility in a prolonged debate.

There was no knee-jerk. Reading and comprehension was a strong suit of mine in grades school so there is also no need to be condescending to me - as if I cannot understand simple sentences. Your point was not lost on me, it was just blatantly unnecessary. You made a point about verbal abuse to a guy who had just posted on the necessity to show a little more restraint and kindness. I felt at that moment like saying, "thank you Captain Obvious, but I am trying to make that point without you implying that I am the very perpetrator of said actions."

that being said - THIS is the kind of debates we should all be having on this site -- and that was my whole point. Kids gloves are not necessary, nor is censorship or moderation if everyone simply respects the other person --- not the beliefs or ideas of the other person --- just the other person.

We're just trying to see if we can get everyone to ease up on each other and new members a bit. It's not life changing, it doesn't threaten free speech, it doesn't hamper debate, and it sure doesn't make debating on this forum any less legitimate.

cheers

I agree about having a debate like this. However, if you started calling me names, it wouldn't worry or upset me in the slightest and you would, no doubt, expect me to reply in kind.
So, what's the problem?
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
