It tells me you have an agenda, and are not really interested in honest discussion. We like theists, but not ones who think they can avoid conversations they don't like. I'm also wary of your little blog. We don't exist so you can troll and then laugh about it there.
I'm more than ready to engage in honest discussion. That's why I'm not going to discuss things with certain types of people who don't want an honest discussion or continue a discussion that is pointless. That's all I meant.
As for my blog, I just started it, and I haven't even posted anything in it yet except a welcome post. I'm not sure why you think I'm going to laugh about your forum there. But it doesn't matter. I asked about having a link in my sig, and now I see that isn't necessary because you allow a person to post a link in their profile. And that's good enough for me.

Well, it's too bad you feel that way, but I can't change that. I am who I am, as you are who you are. But I will read that post as soon as I finish posting this.

That's fair. But also keep in mind that my style tends to draw a lot of responses, and I can't respond to everyone because it takes too much time. Or that's how it's been in the past. Case in point, this post. It has 25 hits of traffic so far, and it's an intro. It's heating up, people are getting offended already, so I'm out. I'm not going to respond to any more posts in here, because it's time to move on to knew topics. I haven't even visted the general discussion area yet. Now, if someone gets offended because I'm not responding to them in here, I can't help that. Or, if someone is baiting me, I'm not going to respond to them.
So, I'm willing to discuss all manner of things, and I want to. But there are certain posts and certain types of people I'm not going to respond to. I donated money to this site; I'm not a troll; I'm just a theist who believes the truth can prevail. I don't want to preach anything--I don't have anything to preach. By all means, keep an eye on me. I actually don't think I have that much to say, anyway.
