Nonsense, I enjoy the unfiltered expression.
I've said it on here before. I'm a Christian willingly choosing to go and interact on an Atheist forum. I would expect to be questioned, challenged, etc. I don't expect everyone to be civil, nor do I demand it, but I also don't like to point it out in the midst of discussion because I think everyone can see when someone is resorting to plain incivility and it does them disservice on its own merit.
I came here, to be challenged and to challenge others, civilly, genuinely and intellectually. I can stand the heat, because if I can't and my belief can't, it's not worth believing in.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
