I am being a completely objective observer here when I say this. I'm not saying he's right to insult people right back or that his generalizations are fair. What I'm saying is that I'm seeing a double standard here, in some people thinking he's awful or sociopathic for saying these things, when many of you guys do the same thing... and do it worse even lol.

You mean like the thread where I criticized him for making off-topic criticism of the character of the thread's participants, and he responded by making snide comments about me sucking the dicks of random truckers? You mean like that? You're so full of shit, CL. Objective observer my ass. You're as partisan as Neo is. Regardless, even if there is a double standard, each person is responsible for their own offenses. You don't defend Neo for his excesses and then play the "I'm just making observations" card. Neo is being held to account, perhaps mistakenly, perhaps not, but if you have problems with other posters, address that on its own merit. This is just another example of you circling the wagons whenever a theist is accused of something.

I don't mean any thread specifically. But I've seen some vile, disgusting things said to him plenty of times that weren't warranted. So when he makes a nasty comment and everyone goes crazy, it just reeks of the ol' "can dish it but cant take it."

If you want to tell me I'm "full of shit" for pointing that out, go for it I suppose.
"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."
