I mean, I'm pretty sure I've spoken to you that way before too but I get the feeling you don't think much of it because it's me and you know I mean no harm by it, hehe.
I just don't understand his need to be rude and condecending. I'm not over here insulting anyone, or telling anyone they have to believe the same things I do. I'm over here doing my best to share my personal perspective on the issue. Nothing more, nothing less. No need to be an asshole to me about it.

And in a forum like this, I don't care about personalities as much as I do about the type of thinking being put forth to demonstrate so-and-so. On Skype or Slack or social threads, different story. Most theists here, I'm sure, are nice people in reality anyway. CL just happens to be more popular with the atheists here, partly because she socializes with you guys as well, but it doesn't mean I should therefore go more easy on her than on the other theists (or even atheists who put forth dumb views).
Yes, you can be an asshole to whomever you wish. Doesn't mean I'm going to like you or have respect enough to engage with you if you are. It doesn't matter if you we are in the forum or on slack/skype. We are still people and there's no reason to be rude and sarcastic to someone who is sharing their perspectives respectfully. Anyway, I'm done talking to you.
Haven't I been a a rude condescending asshole to you before but you forgave me because you knew it was out of character for me to talk to you like that? (I often talk to people like that, but they're usually people I don't consider to be as nice a person as you are. They're usually people I don't like).
Or am I being overly hard on myself?
This is the part of me that just screams "CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONGGGGGGGGG" in my head lol. I don't expect the people I don't like to be friends with each other but I always want all my friends to be friends with each other. I'm silly lol.
You're both my friends.
