So you’re upset that you think monstro violated some technicality of debating etiquette or something, and that’s more important than the merits of the issues. I have no idea about that.

But since you’ve started a Pit thread, I’ll take the opportunity to comment less politely on the something that you _did_ say:

> Better than nothing, I guess, but a more personalized one-to-many relationship still isn’t a community.

Fuck people who claim that _their_ religion is not really about the dangerous superstitious nonsense that religions often teach, _their_ religion is all about spirituality and community; yet somehow they can find no acceptable way to celebrate their beliefs other than to recklessly endanger the health of their entire communities.
