WOW! That is a beaut of an hyperbole.
Please indicate where your accusation pick&mix of political, racial. religious etc … etc bears any relation to the post to which you are replying?
What do you think justifies your aggressive tone?
You seem intent to be upping the ante on intemperate posting here. Unless you can also show how you can equate lecturing and haranguing with the post you are replying to??
.
Please try to temper the tone of your replies … which I’m sure will inspire a more pleasant posting experience for all … as opposed to the war zone I think posts such as yours tend to encourage.
In my day, I would have deleted the VS post as ad hom, because it clearly is. A poster was characterised in a derogatory manner in a purely hypothetical scenario.
I know that the board has swung largely in favour of 'supporters' and against 'sceptics', but moderators are still expected to abide by the forum rules.
I grew up in a toxic atmosphere of opposing religious beliefs. Fortunately, I have outgrown that atmosphere. But the 'supporters' versus ''sceptics' is very reminiscent of it indeed.
I find the labels to be petty and offensive, and the use of them to be counter-productive. It is like watching immature children squabbling. As far as I know, all of us are now beyond childhood. I thought this was meant to be a forum for debate among adults.
And if you need a similar political example, just watch the next PM's Question Time. I am confident it will be equally immature.
Here's a suggestion. If you would act as a moderator and delete the offensive part of the VS post, feel free to delete my response. Will you then have the decency to delete your own aggressive post? Even though your 'war zone' comment perfectly illustrates my point?
