Not what I was looking for, but I sincerely thank you for your time and effort.
>You could've posted an introduction.
I honestly mean this in a completely friendly, nonconfrontational way, just giving my opinion: to me that seems like giving a bit of an explanation of what I'm "all about" to a stranger that I stopped to ask for directions. I'm just someone who'd like to know a good label to describe such a viewpoint, because I hold that viewpoint myself, and I'd just like a brief way to describe this viewpoint in case it ever comes up in conversation with any new acquaintances. I never meant to express an intention of "joining the community", or that I would post any other topic to this forum in the future. No offensive intended.
>Kinda feels like we are being used as dirty answer whores.
Again, I honestly mean this in a completely friendly, nonconfrontational way, just giving my opinion: to me this response seems quite odd, completely “out of left field”, a little confrontational, and inappropriate (not that you can't find many such responses in virtually every forum on the internet). I note that the others who responded didn't seem to feel this way. Does anyone else here feel that aleialoura’s response was appropriate? Or is there an actual rule at this forum that new posters must introduce themselves?
Hi, Justtristo -
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for, although I prefer the alternate nomenclature "ontological naturalism".
Hi, BethK -
Thank you as well for your help.
Relax. I was only teasing you.
