I've been told all that stuff. There was one guy on The [S]inking Atheist Forum who told me specifically that his brand of personal rage would save us all when some kind of unspecified crisis occurred. Too many apocalypse movies, maybe.
What puzzles me is why so many Anglophones on sites like this one think that a discussion about metaphysics is something that they have to win, by personal attack if necessary. Disagreement I understand -- everybody disagrees. But there seems to be some kind of personal rage that requires them to go beyond that. What do they expect to win?
I'm used to it now, it's no big deal. But to me those people seem insane.
