Religion

(8,763 posts)I have three separate things to say here:
1. If you believe my points are valid, but you want to rail against the way I made those points, that's a tone argument. It's not worth the time it takes to write it. And going from "disrespectful" to "indecent" is just sliding further down that rabbit hole.
2. You still have yet to recognize that such tone arguments are not applied to other topics of discussion that you can find on this site or in the real world. This is special pleading in one of its most easy to recognize forms, because you are trying to put religion on a separate plane from everything else. That has no place on a discussion forum where all points of view are specified as welcome in the rules. Let me put it a different way: If someone attacks your ideas, and you take it personally, you're in the wrong debate.
3. I never suggested or implied that banning one member would make everything "just fine." What I did say was that it is ridiculous to talk about the statement "Don't make DU suck" with me when there is someone here whose desperate attempts at attention-grabbing fly in the face of that idea. You have the power to do something about that, and if you won't exercise it then I maintain that you have no business whatsoever calling down others when you disagree with their tone.
