(731 posts)thank you,
Yesterday I shamed myself. I succumbed to a bully and walked away from something I should be prepared to fight for. Yesterday I let childish tactics and passive aggressive attacks bully me into silence. I'm here because fighting for the right to speak up, and have a civil debate/discussion is something I believe theist and atheist can and should be doing. Standing up to this kind of bullshit is what I do; I see bigotry = I fight bigotry, I see ignorance = I fight ignorance. I was not happy yesterday, and as you said I shouldnt settle for it.
Putting you, and others like you on ignore would be giving you what you want, a nice quiet echo-chamber free of challenges or dissent. I'm taking you off ignore and apologizing for failing my principles.
I'd also like to thank you, because only now do I realize how complacent I had become, how lax in believing that enlightenment and decency were becoming prevalent, these things have to be struggled for, and that's why I'm here. I guess it takes people like you to make people like me.
