I am relaxed really, and that is my point to the PC types, not just here, but in my history of posting I have seen this in human behavior before. Everyone is fine partaking in blasting others, or witnessing others blast people, but when someone turns on them, they shut off.
I've had on another website a pantheist(now atheist), a Jew, and recently a Buddhist pull this. They all watched as others, like me blasted the claims of things they agreed with, and or did the blasting themselves, then when I said "You don't get a pass either" they pull an Isac Hays.
I really don't want to hear it from minorities. I GET BEING A MINORITY, I AM A MINORITY, as an atheist surrounded by theists. I am surrounded by theists who at best do not understand me, and plenty others OUTSIDE the web in my daily life, that have equated me to Hitler and threatened me with hell. Been there.
I just don't see any point of saying " I get to pick on others claims, but they cant pick on mine".
EVEN out side the issue of this Taoist on this website, other atheists have blasted my claims on the issue of "philosophy and mind". I didn't run or demand they shut up.
If one feels secure enough in their position, they should not fear it, they should defend it. But don't be a hypocrite and watch others do it and comment on when they do it, and then demand a hands of on your own claims.
We still with all the bluster and arguing, can still beyond our positions, know we are still all humans.
