mmmmmthis.
nah pretty sure this has nothing to do with you, no worries.
i'll be honest, i didn't see the issue here as much as everyone else, because as far as i know all the young trolls of religion who don't know how to be respectful haven't been 'round these parts for a long time. so . . . sure, sad that he had to start with a disclaimer, but ultimately i didn't think it was super necessary. not recently anyway. and if someone did try to start shit i hope Steve knows we'd have his back and acclimate the noob to the rules, right quick.
this is really what i wanted to touch on briefly. when it comes to the typical subject matter and the typical people who discuss it (because no one will understand if i speak in code), perceived "sides" are established based on how those exchanges usually go. and it was once suggested that although people may not publicly support one particularly prolific poster, they actively agree with him privately. that's fine. that's also bullshit. if you feel like you can't agree publicly, it's because you fail at defending your arguments as much as whoever it is you blindly agree with . . . NOT because of any other user here.
i guess i'm just saying don't kid yourself (not "you" Kent, but in general) by claiming you don't pipe up because we play too rough. bullshit.
k that's it. i love everybody (who can defend their own arguments). be safe out there.
