I agree that polite and civil disagreement is generally a good thing.
Except when it isn't.
But in most normal personal interactions I try to be polite and civil with everyone.

I think there may be a misreading of my passive aggressive sarcasm for overreacting. But fair enough.
So what other factors are at play for my posts to imply that I'm under 18? So far we have my username and that I'm a nihilist.
You'd have to ask Thump. I was merely suggesting possibles. For my part, I too was inclined to think you were young, but not that young.

The animus stems from a belief that discriminating against people based upon religious belief is itself as harmful as discriminating on the basis of skin color, sex, or sexual orientation.

Interestingly I have the same commitment.
But what unjust discrimination do you think I've proposed?
Perhaps that's a discussion for another day. I am intentionally withdrawing from debate this week to manage my emotional health. I'm celebrating the birthday of my twin sisters this weekend and due to various factors, it's been very stressful.

Cool. How young did you think I was based on my posts?

Enjoy
As far as I'm concerned at no point whatsoever have I ever forwarded support for unjust discrimination.

When I was taking a course on Nazi political theory at Purdue my then wife, blond hair, blue eyes, not as nice as Himmler toward the end, read that in Mein Kampf, and got really pissed off at Hitler.
I had to tell her he was dead.
