Question Mark

Grungi - In defense of Yorick, I have to say that you have made some broad generalizations in your earlier posts. You stated early on that MOST religious people don't follow their religion faithfully. I understand this was based on your own experience, but you did not limit that first generalization to just the ones you had experience with.

Once you make a "generalized" statement like that, any similar statements you make will be viewed in the same light. I had to go back and re-read your post myself to see that you had limited this second example to the religious people you know personally.

Also, it is generally considered condescending to "suggest someone read your post more thoroughly". You do have a point, but perhaps you should also "proofread" your posts before posting and make certain your points are being presented clearly. Maybe you already do this..if so, that's great. I "PREVIEW" every single post I make before actually "ADDING REPLY". Several times, I edit what I've written because I find a better way to word what I'm saying.

I don't mean any offense to you. I'm just offering a little "constructive criticism" (if I may) and some unsolicited advice. [img]smile.gif[/img] I hope it won't be taken for anything more than that.

Yorick - I also have to agree with Grungi about the "tone" of your last posts - especially your response to arion. That was more than a little trollish. Are you still wandering in the Realm of the Trolls? The uncharacteristically angry undertone of your post suggests you may. If so, just let it go brother. You've fought the good fight. Come back home and rest awhile.
