I can't speak for Vulcan or LFC or course, but I do note that nobody quoted you when having this discussion.
It doesn't require quoting someone to make it plain who you're talking about. Since only me and Kit are arguing the point, it's pretty obvious who is meant.
(And for what it's worth, I don't really care that CL or anybody else mentions me. My understanding of the calling out rule is that it only applies to devoting a thread that way.)
The issue is I mostly agree with all the points that are being made. I just think it's hurtful to throw them in people's faces. Particulate of said person has asked that you stop because it's actually hurtung them.
I think that for the most part you make very well thought out and salient points. You are probably one of my favorite people to read on this forum. But someone left a thread in tears after name calling.
Then again I also understand that a number of people believe CL is disingenuous and manipulative. Regardless of what you think of her, she has feeling that can be hurt. I think a little more respect in this direction would do the world a lot of good.
I'm also not really one to talk, once flipped out at my share of theists on this forum, including at CL. I've actually put almost all of them on ignore so I don't become an angry monster everytime I read some of the stupid shit they say.
Idk, it just looked like she really had her feelings hurt this time. And all of my points about getting through to people without insulting then still stand regargardless of who did what to who.
Anyway my goal wasn'tto hurt or anger you or kit, but simply to try and bring the tone down. Looks like I completely failed in both counts.
