Cruel language doesn't bother me. That's just someone engaging in some nonsense that's cathartic to them. We're just names on computer screens. So I don't perceive hurtful language to be damaging to me.
I get a little more vexed when someone is just distorting my position and my character simply because they think that everything has to be an argument. Like the idiot who recently told me that I don't seem to care about drunk driving. Fuck that guy.
I agree about the anonymity. Seems to give people licence to behave far more unpleasantly than they would in real life.
I admit that I am rarely as blunt to real life Christians than I tend to be here. I guess I should try harder to be more civil.. Problem is I have never been able to suffer fools. Even so, I think it is possible to wound a person on a forum, intended or not. You are indeed fortunate to be so thick skinned.
