It comes across to me that you are not at all at ease discussing these and related issues. You constantly use "humour" to avoid adressing them.

By the way, your obvious and obviously fallacious tactics of "divide and rule" will not bare any fruits whatsoever.
Originally posted by ivanhoeJust hold on there. If a christian posts on hell-fire and damnation specifying how atheists such as myself are immoral and heading for the flames then I find this offensive. If they specify that my children, brought up outside the church, are candidates for hell then I find this offensive. However, I truly believe in toleration, sadly the toleration I extend to others is not returned.
RHP is a private business, a chess community. Everybody has the right to freely express his or her opinions unless it violates the ToS.
Purposely and structurally devoting a whole thread on offending a part of the RHP community is simply not done according to the ToS.
Maybe you should join other organisations where such obvious bigotry is bon ton.

Anyway, like I said, I'm perfectly happy talking about this issue with folks who are capable of reasoned discussion.

You are insulting me in the context of a discussion in order to make it "plausible" that my stances are less acceptable. Thát, dear professional philosopher, IS an Ad Hominem.
You are using one of your unacceptable tactics to bend the definitions in such a way that you are right. You should lay off these habits of yours if you want to be taken seriously and become a professional philosopher.
Originally posted by ivanhoeNo, I'm insulting you because you are a jackass. You don't need any help from me making your positions look implausible.
