3) Stop being so fucking angry.

No offense, Germans, because true to my bad forum taste, I like you and all, but I think #3 would solve most of the problems.

We're people on the internet. None of us have political power beyond voting. None of us create policy. For some reason, you and a few other past members seemed to think it was necessary to shout down those who didn't have the same views, as if any of us were writing laws and regulations. We're just other schmucks like you, and no matter what the topic is (religion, racism, politics, etc) it's not worth getting up in arms about.

I give you allowances on some spelling mistakes and some word usage mistakes because I personally think that you do a much better job talking to us in English than at least the American speakers would if trying to keep a grip on German forums. HOWEVER - communication hinges on being able to express yourself in the best way possible, and you can't do this if you are 1) angry and 2) making stupid mistakes I know you're capable of correcting if you weren't angry and acting like it didn't matter. It's all well and good to ask Tiberius for further clarification of his points. Making assumptions might even be acceptable - working yourself into a lather over them when you don't even know if they're true, however, isn't. It's fucking stupid. You should be happy he DOES clarify things - many of our own resident theists don't do as much when asked more or less politely.

It's an internet forum. Not real life. We're just a bunch of schmucks talking things out. This isn't worth anything more than the kvetching you'd do around a pub table. Calm the fuck down.

Meanwhile I read through 8 pages of political bullshit just to get to this point and I want that time back. Jesus.
