That is true that people here are more respectful and considerate of me than they are with some of the other theists. However, let me tell you, it took some time to gain that level of respect. It certainly wasnt like that when I first joined, and building up to that happened gradually over time. I stayed anyway (though taking some breaks in between lol), but others might not if they get too discouraged or don't have the same patience. Or they might become bitter in the process.
As for perspective #2, I concede that there will always be people who skirt the rules and break the spirit of the rules. But I really think it will be a great improvement in that regard from the rest of the forums. Because people can just act like that on the rest of the forum. So why request to join a section for civil discussion if you dont want civil discussion, when you can just say whatever you want on the rest of the forum? I really do think a section like this would bring down the level of shit posting.

"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."
