This is a forum. We're literally here to talk. My point is that it shouldn't happen, and no one else should feel like they need to actively ignore him in order to be able to participate in discussions here.
I add the caveat that I know for a fact that I'm a bitchy queen. I say bitchy things to bitchy people. I get into it with people who are abrasive, likely because I can be abrasive. It's like cats honing their claws on your furniture. I get it all out with people who are equally bitchy. I doubt anyone could find an instance of me doing it to a nice person, but my point is that I am not without similar flaws to Hammy. I'm just pretty damn sure I have a large measure more self control. He could benefit from more of it, and it has made me sad in the past that he doesn't make any effort in that department. He really, really needs to work on some things. His friends should keep trying to help him. I've tried as much as I can for someone I'm not close to.
Yes, we are here to talk. But for me, there are some people here who I choose not to engage with. Either because they are dishonest or because all they do is comment at me with insults lol. The point is, I know having a productive conversation with those particular people is not possible, so I save myself the stress and drama and just ignore them.
And trust me, I'm talking to Ham right now and trying to convey to him how important it is that he learn to control his emotions and let things go.

I guess I'm just mean then.
Why don't you show me where I provoked him and we'll discuss it.
Well, here is one example lol: https://atheistforums.org/thread-54645-p...pid1744785
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
