I'm just saying it seems like some atheists resent our participation because they think the site belongs to them. I'm kind of tired of making excuses for their tribalism. The fact is that AF belongs to Tiberius and he has made it clear, repeatedly, that the forums are open to all participants on an equal footing. So it seems appropriate for a generic theist to expect the same level of respect as a generic atheist.
Judging by my thread, it is clear that the vast majority of atheists on this site are glad we are here.
And yes, Tib has made this what it is. I am grateful that he did so.
"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."
