Yes I pick on all religions.

Sorry but this is a convoluted way of saying "the way I do it is right and it should only be done my way".

Nope. It's more like "I think the way I'm suggesting is more productive and rational and these are my reasons why."

We are not dealing with a utopia in reality. We are a diverse and very messy species, and we should deal with reality the way it is and not the way you think it should go.

Are you sure? Is that the way you think it should go?

I can and I will use the language I see fit.

Likewise.

I can and will ridicule and blaspheme what I see fit.

Yeah... likewise...

The part you miss is CONTEXT and that always matters. You start getting into script solutions in a diverse species you are setting yourself up to become as dogmatic as those you rightfully would object to being dogmatic.

Likewise! Bold = For the most part exactly the point I've been making the past few pages. Lol.

This is an atheist website, first and foremost. If the owners and admins want to change the rules to suit their own comfort levels of interaction, they can. If they chose to change things, then I have a choice, conform or go somewhere else. It would be no different if I went to a Christian or Muslim website and chose to deal with the rules they set up.

Nowhere have I ever said or nor will you ever hear me say, that even my tactics and the way I conduct myself are an absolute and should be employed in every setting.

It really does amount to a comfort issue, and nothing more. I have been at this for 13 years on multiple websites and for you to presume that my detractors cant handle the boxing ring and have glass jaws is absurd.

The only people who have a right to say anything to me on this website are the owners and admins. AND if I am not correct every member also has the option of blocking viewing of posters they don't like.

The only thing about any discourse that makes it abusive is when one party is forced into it and has no way out of it. I think this website provides lots of options ignore those you don't want to talk to.

If you want to conduct yourself like you are at a 5 star hotel or golf clubhouse or at a Royal Palace that is your comfort level. But do not presume for me or a believer that is debating me that they cant handle it.

Froodo and Dirich and other theists have been here for years, if they truly thought atheists were monsters they would not be here. If they were that thin skinned they would not be here.

Yep. I agree. You can conduct yourself however you please. We all can. That's what I'm doing too. That's what makes a forum work.
