My general manner of posting is quite dry and I don't get emotional easily. I can talk to anyone so long as they are respectful to me. Put everyone on ignore other than me if you wish.
Are you kidding me? No way. I like you and our discussions, but I disagree with you that the solution to life's problems, to social anxiety is to indoctrinate and intimidate everyone that doesn't think like we do or to ignore what we don't want to hear. It makes us weak and stupid. Live and let live is a good motto, as far as mottos go.
But I do have an announcement. The games are over as of now. I learned long ago that when posting on atheist forums the participants need certain bones cast in their direction. Here I've chosen one. Give them a scapegoat. I use that one when I expect to be banned quickly. Usually the other bone is the one I use, discuss evolution affording them the opportunity to preach.
The bone has been devoured. That's not a pun, just in case, I don't keep up with the vernacular or colloquialisms. It's time for me to move on, so I won't be playing the tit for tat game from here on.
However, your scapegoat isn't sent out to the wilderness yet! Beginning next week I will post only in the Christian forum and only meaningful posts. I will NOT respond to meaningless responses. Let the haters be hating. I will ignore you manually.
Incidentally, if you haven't noticed I often refer to the possibility of me getting bored and leaving. In my mind the worst thing you could possibly do to me is ignore me. Not push a button and make me disappear, that's lovely, I mean to literally and manually ignore me. How boring would that be? I wouldn't last long with that.
But you don't want that do you. You want to set the scapegoat on fire and send his naked ass out into the wild, don't you. Makes you feel good, don't it.
Anyway, that's the announcement. I know what I do is important to you all and you like to keep informed. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to submit them in written form.
Thanks,
David
