A problem with religion, is the notion that one central ethic can be imposed, the problem with this thinking is that no single ethic can be stretched to fit all situations. As such most churches do as much harm as they do good. You seem to be wanting to impose a single ethic that fits with your way of expressing yourself, however you must understand there are a number of different cultures and sub cultures that even just the people on this forum represent, let alone they are a number of individuals that are to some extent at variance with their own culture. I want to hear those voices.
Some little prig coming along and saying 'wouldn't it be nice if you all behaved like me, and you all expressed your selves in a way I am comfortable with,' is a shit of the first order. I am not interested in getting away from one ethical standard which does not work, only to have it replaced by another which also will not work. If you want to express yourself one way fine, but don't impose your thinking on me.
The expression of anger is just as valid, as a thought through precise bit of intellectual play. I find little difficulty differentiating personal abuse from, a thoughtful argument. If your problem is that your cannot, the answer is to fix yourself, not to reduce others to your level.
