Talk about not being nice!!!
most of our faiths have little tolerance for others, sadly.
It's one of the reasons we can't talk about that here.
It's clear what that avatar means, but I'm more interested in what he says, versus
how he wants to identify himself. Our avatar is just one tiny little part of us...
Years ago I offended a guy here so badly he hasn't talked to me since, and it was sure unintentional
on my part, but it upset a fragile old member, a really nice guy, who had some very strong faith beliefs, and he thought
I was being dismissive of his faith. So this other fellow gets upset that I upset this other fellow, who left and never came back.
And I've been shunned ever since.
so yeah, there are rules and there are rules, but what you say here can hurt people's feelings and
sometimes that takes a long time to get over.
I recall that.
Something about forgiving (if offended) that was seriously lacking on the other side. Shocking really, just reading about it.
Typing words on a keyboard....wow. The pen is mightier than the sword and all that.
There had to have been more to it, and it was an over the edge moment.
