I'm sorry sorry Daystar but, having read your response to my peice on why atheism isn't a religion and (at this point) entirely willing to incur moderator wrath, YOU (and I'll say this slowly) ... ARE ... A ... COMPLETE ... FUCKING ... WANKER!!!!!!!!!
I'm done and if that happens to be permanent I will at least have done one good thing ... I've told you in no uncertain terms what I think you are (and I've few doubts that others, whilst they may say nothing, likely think much the same)!
Mods: Sorry but I think it had to be said, so I await your decision on my behaviour.
Kyu
if the other guy was banned for lashing out and insulting i would hate to see what he said compared to this.
