Reply #283: Yes, it comes down to a respectful attitude toward other posters

It doesn't require that a non-believer respect anyone's *beliefs*, but respect for the *person*. There is behavior that isn't intended to be part of the conversation that is happening. It always feels to me as if I'm in the midst of a RL conversation with a group of people, and someone with a bullhorn barges in and begins talking about something else entirely. That would be rude, and it's rude on the site, too.
