[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Op here. It's actually gone better than expected. I think there were some thoughtful posts on topic. Interspersed by the theists throwing BS and venom. Which I completely expected.[b] Just proves that they are too sensitive to discuss anything rationally. [/b]

The biggest relevation for me personally is that unhinged theists will stay unhinged and there isn't much point to engage productively. I mean, even the super patient, diplomatic atheist had no luck with any kind of civil discussion. They just pooped all over her sincere attempts. So going forward[b] if I see some hateful posts come up on recent topics I'll just report to Jeff.[/b] It's not worth my time to do much more. [/quote]

OP:  Your assumption that everyone posting here is either "theist" or "atheist" as if these are two "opposing camps" is simplistic.  Many of us are much more wishy-washy than that and have feet in both camps, although not necessarily described as "agnostic."

I find it interesting that you deliberately posted a "troll thread," got some strong reactions to it, assume that anything you regard as a nasty post must have been posted by a "theist" (because of your openly-admitted bias against "theists"), and then accuse these imagined "theists" as being "too sensitive."

Then you complain about "hateful posts" and running to the moderator.

So, do I have this correct?  The imagined "theists" posting the "venom" are "too sensitive."  Yet it's you OP who needs the moderator to create a "safe space" for you.

Do you see any contradiction in what you posted about who's "too sensitive,"  OP?

OP, you deliberately posted antagonistically expecting to start a throw-down with "theists" (although obviously who can determine who's posting what?  You can't assume the "venom" posts are from "theists" just because you have a bias against theists and therefore assign as "theist posts" all the posts that hurt your feelings).  You apparently think you got exactly what you wanted--flamed by "theists" (but again who knows if they're "flames" and who knows if they're from "theists"?)  Now you want to go running to Mommy because you got a bloody nose.

Don't start "fights" you can't finish, OP.  At least if you insist on trolling don't be so gutless about it.[/quote]

9:09 here. Good post. [/quote]
