100. Words have meanings
To be honest I expected nothing to come of this. I expected the poster who called them "heathens" to immediately acknowledge that their use of the word was not meant to be literal, and we could all move on.

They did not. They in fact seemed to be proud of their usage of the word, and as such, they were called on it. I repeat, the usage of the word "heathen" was the introduction of religion into this thread and if you don't like that you would do well to discuss it with the poster who used that word. They can retract it whenever they want to, and so far they have not. Until they do I will continue to object to it's usage in this case. There is nothing to indicate that these aggressors were "heathens".
