Yorick, sorry, but I believe that you DID post that thread on IW and if not then I'm sorry, but you HAVE posted a reasonable amount of threads that you posted on one forum on others as well.
Also, Ronn, I never pointed you out directly by saying: "Ronn was hostile towards Skywalker." I said: "I felt that some people were being a bit hostile towards Skywalker."
Notice: "Felt" meaning that I wasn't stating that it was so. "Some" not ALL. "Bit" meaning: "Not that awfully much." Please read before you reply, people. Oh, and don't start flaming me for not restating what I already said 100% precisely, but I could not be bothered to go quote my own post.

Actually, I do have glasses and its past time for my yearly exam. [img]smile.gif[/img] Maybe the difference was in my interpretation.
I will agree that too many religious people don't act in a manner befitting their beliefs, and in turn make their fellow believers look bad.
I didn't think you were pointing me out specifically about the first page, but I wanted to point out that my post(which is the only one I can speak to) didn't have an "undercurrent" of hostility directly towards anyone. The truth is, there will always be strong reactions to any statement or idea worth debating. It doesn't mean it's personal. Just because people don't agree doesn't necessarily mean they're slamming one another.
No flaming here, Neb, and No worries! [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img]
