Nor do I see how asking for everyone to have a little empathy is, either.
Maybe I'm missing something.
You miss how " discussions " or " debates " develop, particularly over the net, where no visual contact exists and nuances are missed.
I am all for civilised debate, but from experience I know how other factors intervene ( like emotions, prejudices, stubborness....an expanding list ) generating " heat ".
If you come on forums like this, you should expect to feel the " heat " from time to time. My opinion.
A 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?
