I for one feel constipated everytime I have to wade through your blithering drivel. I particularly like you praying for people to get nut cancer. You're despicable and should kill yourself immediately.
Ivanhoe's comments about this post are conspicuous in their absence .
Peace out.

Originally posted by Moldy CrowWhile what you say is partially true, I contend that there are several Christians on this site, who are not "a$$holes" who are hounded anyhow - simply for holding to a Christian position. ivanhoe never argued that all people hounded on this site were Christians; he argued that Christians were hounded for merely being Christians. There is a certain degree of hyperbole there - not all Christians are hounded and not all Christians who are hounded are hounded simply because they are Christian.
I think even you would agree that not all xtians on this site are hounded off it . There are some whose contibutions are welcomed even by the likes of me . Granted it's a short list . But there are other non xtians who are hounded as well , and some hounded off the site . Do you recognize this ? Maybe all who are hounded are not hounded because of their ...[text shortened]... ou certainly shouldn't be throwing cheap shots and expecting special treatment after the fact .
But there are some Christians who are hounded for merely being Christian and holding Christian views.
As to the "grow up" piece, isn't it the hounds (Ravello, darvlay et. al.) who should grow up? ivanhoe played by the rules of this website and used the rights available to him as a netizen of this community. As to the football analogy, it is one thing to play rough - quite another to hit below the belt. As far as I've seen, ivanhoe gives (or tries to) as good as he gets when the rough play is legit. Appealing to the referee when the play crosses a certain boundary is part of every sport.
What you're essentially saying to ivanhoe is - sit still and we'll rough you up. Stand up and we'll rough you up some more (and we might show you some respect if you're still standing when the dozen of us are done with you). Go to the teacher and you'll get the pasting of a lifetime.
This is the mentality of bullies.
