Quote: I find your insults hypocritical to say the least, as you have begged me to be hyper-respectful of you and your opinions and your beliefs.
I'm unaware of anyone demanding respect from you or anyone else. That's not the way this forum works.Respect is earned,on both sides.
I don't know you,so have no idea if you're an idiot and actually incapable of critical thought. However, I think that's a reasonable conclusion based on what you've posted.
Quote:As for these reputation points. If they are meant to be a way you can all get together and ban me from your group after I collect enough of them, by all means just do it now. I think it's pathetic, but I'm actually a little proud of being in the red.
Reputation points reflect the way a person is seen by some of the members.More than the odd one or two suggest you have REALLY pissed off some members. However,negative points are not cause for banning,nor do we gang up on people to ban them.You will be banned by moderators if you break forum rules,which include being a disruptive influence.
This place is called 'Atheist Forums' which should be a hint to the various apologists who insists on coming here.Ironically,such people usually demand [and receive] a level of respect and tolerance they do not afford atheists on their own sites.
My position: Our forum, our rules, our subculture and funny little ways.We owe you nothing. It is you who need to fit in with us,not us with you.If that's not OK with you,please feel free to leave at any time.
