What, me say something obnoxious or stupid? No, that was some jerk who posts online, not me!
I'm not asking you to come out. And I certainly say stupid things online and in person from time to time. But most people on Facebook and Googleplus are themselves. I don't find here to be much different. I don't think of my atheism as a wart to hide.
I see you do not appreciate my sense of humor. That's okay.
(I don't like using smileys much, because they give away the game too early. One sees them before one reads all of the words, so one already knows it is a joke before the end of the punchline.)
