[QUOTE=Cisco] I’ve thought about this too. It’s kind of like how Al Sharpton is a jerk, and an ass, and over-the-top, and frequently indulges in wild hyperbole (Sharpton himself will pretty much admit to this), but he is a necessary evil, filling the niche of saying what a lot of people are thinking.

[QUOTE=Ogre] No, it means that the mods as a whole don’t think moderation is called for. Suck it up. [/QUOTE] Yeah, it’s about that time, isn’t it? I disagree with the mods and think they’ve made a shitty call, but moderating this place is like herding cats and I never signed up to be a cat herder. That’s what the mods have to do, and I’d rather poke my eyes out than do the job myself. So I’m not going to spend my time bitching about their collective decision, when the job has to be done and I’m sure as hell not willing to do it. I’d rather take the call and move on with the game than spend my time screaming at the ref. And I get a complete philosophical pass by setting the ground rules by which I will discuss my faith. Rule #1: You must be minimially civil in the discussion. **badchad** cannot adhere to that pretty simple rule – my standards for civility are not all that high – and therefore I don’t discuss my faith with him. Which means I don’t discuss anything with him, because as a complete one-trick pony, he quite literally doesn’t have _anything_ else to say. ISTM to be a sad little life, but I’ve got my own to live and my scroll-down button works just fine. ---

[QUOTE=DrDeth] Trolling is also illegal. Shit like calling Jesus a cunt is trolling just like if I called Obama a “N-word”. [/QUOTE] some insults, even of public figures, are not allowed. You couldn’t call Obama or MLK a “n\*gger”, but you could call them a “cunt”. I wonder if you could call Jesus a “kike”, but not enough to try it. Of course, seeing how close you can come to the line - deliberately - is jerkish behavior, so I would probably be warned. Why the person in question gets away with it has already been hashed over enough. He is going to be allowed to get away with it until he steps over some poorly defined line. > [@Jodi](#): > > Which means I don’t discuss anything with him, because as a complete one-trick pony, he quite literally doesn’t have anything else to say. Pretty much true. He is to Christians as **Reeder** was to Bush - a fanatic, who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject. Regards, Shodan ---

Given your obvious use of “irrational” to indicate theists of some sort, the reality is that there is no disproportionate participation by theists among those who condemn you–a position shared equally by a very alrge number of atheists. Well, that is my belief and you are challenging it. You said you never do that, but you do quite frequently, don’t you? I’m cuing you to play your word games with what beliefs are. Also for a man who is able to twist words as well as you can, I would think you could read them with more precision. I never said there weren’t non-theist who have insulted me, and I have noted a Christian every once and a while who will actually defend me. However, I try to keep a reasonable track of who is who around here and of those who have flamed me thus far I would say I disproportionate amount have been of the Christian variety, as opposed to those like **Ogre, Cisco, Pedro, and CarnalK** who are helping to hold my end up in this discussion and those like **Kalhoun, Redfury, IzzyR, PRR, Godzillatemple** and others who have helped me out in the past, who are disproportionately not of the superstitious variety. It would please me now if you would apologize for calling me a liar. ---

[QUOTE=badchad] I never said there weren’t non-theist who have insulted me, . . . [/QUOTE] And I never said you did and you are trying to. . .what is that word?. . . oh, yeah!.. **weasel** out of your statement. You said that a disproportionate number of those who disparage you were, by your lights, irrational. I am not challenging your belief that theists are irrational. I am pointing out that you have lied, because any survey of the two threads in which you have attempted to **Pit** me will show that the proportions, between believers and non-believers, of those who have disparaged you are not skewed for this board. You have evoked the opprobrium of theists and atheists pretty much proportionally in these threads, making your “disproportionate” claim a lie. ---

[QUOTE=AtomicDog] Der Trihs, I’m only posting this to tell you that I just now got the meaning of your screen name. :smack: [/QUOTE] At least one poster thought I was Dutch. 😃 It’s actually the name of a character from a webcomic I like, _Schlock Mercenary_. The character Der Trihs wears red, and has a tendancy to get his arm(s) blown off or decapitated. So, it’s Red Shirt like the high casualty ST security guys ( Kirk, Spock, McCoy . . . and Ensign Smith. Who gets killed ? Guess ! ), but only indirectly. It was the first name I thought of that wasn’t taken. ---
