That is simply not true. If it was true, people would have started ignoring me by now.

What is on display is the hypocrisy of those who assert they are more rational, more honest, more responsible, more tolerant, less frail, etc. A Christian comes along and says NO to all that, and ten atheists will spend ten months trying to prove him wrong.

Lets' face it. This thread is about little boys with big egos my friend.

Don`t worry Radorth,I`ve already written your epitaph and it reads:
"He was an insufferable ass of a man who wouldn`t shut up about Jesus.
He was positive he would go to heaven and work only two hours a day (since there are no sinful welfare babies in heaven to pay for),but here he is rotting in the ground just like everyone else."

The fact is, some of you here are very easily offended, and the only kinds of Christians you can handle are the one's like Amie and Sabine who take great pains not to offend you. I don't.
Wrong.
I`m not offended by anyone here,but I am often annoyed by the illogical religious dogma all three of you subscribe to.

Anytime. If you get off your own holy soapboxes, you might see a miraculous change in Rad.
I don`t believe in miracles.

I'm sorry but the Secweb is no different than any other organization. If the good guys do nothing to stop this nonsense, and let the rest do as they will, this forum could go the way of some others that are out of business. II has a particular conundrum because moderators are loathe to hinder free speech. Unfortunately they consider slander some sort of free speech.

Only ten months? Thats small potatos. You`ve spent the last TWENTY FIVE years trying to prove atheists wrong. (or so you`ve claimed)

And I hate to say it,but you`re wrong again.
The vast majority of people here ARE ignoring you. There are over 9000 members here and only a few dozen have spoken to you and out of them only a handful remain.

You misquoted me AGAIN Toto. The fact is, some of you here are very easily offended, and the only kinds of Christians you can handle are the one's like Amie and Sabine who take great pains not to offend you. I don't. I'm not justifying my style, but I after being called everything from jackass to &^%$ head to green &^%$, I rest pretty well. And I'm sorry, but this thread has proved my point, that we are all much alike.

Rad
Please provide the details as to how I misquoted you. What did I say that you said, and what did you actually say?

Please provide the details as to when you were called "jackass to &^%$ head to green &^%$" on this board.

Explain who you are "mirroring" and why you think you are mirroring people and not mocking or parodying them. Most of the discussions in this forum have been extremely civilized and well behaved until you showed up. We have been able to discuss facts and theories without anyone losing a temper.

And the last clue falls into place. Having seen a great deal of 'net trolls in my time (and having been one myself in my younger years), this is the classic sign of a troll.

Radorth, do not pin this on us. The only reason you're an asshole is...you. Not us. YOU came here seeking to cause disruption and argument. When you find adversity to your cause, do not run crying like a baby and claiming we're being mean to you when you deserve it.

Assuming that I did not read his posts over the past months because I did not spell his name correctly is really taking a cheap shot....

Are you that desperate to justify the method used here?

I also notice that Radorth did not seem to be intimidated by the OP, or object to it.

I have discovered that I can PM Radorth, which I did.

In retrospect, I might have asked Fred F. to tone some of his language down, for PR purposes. But I'm not sure of how useful that would be now.
Good morning Toto... I object to the method. Thank you for using the PM. I think a positive approach on an individual level might be more constructive. How would you like to be approached Toto if several individuals charge you with similar accusations? would you not want to be given an opportunity to discuss it privatly? would you want to reflect on what is presented to you if the approach is " Dear Toto... I am not sure you are aware of the following facts. I am concerned about how you....".?

Other than that you have nothing to be upset about with this thread since nobody here is dragging any of Radorths personal dirty laundry out for public ridicule.
The only issue on the table here is Rads intellectual integrity which he has shamelessly put on public display time after time.
Fenton.... your next post mentions Rad's " 2 hours a day work " and a couple of other comments derived from personal things he has discussed in the open.... are you not contradicting yourself?

Is anyone picking on Christianity here? It appears that the claim is to denounce Rad's lack of intellectual integrity.... I am confused by your comments.
