Sorry, Steve, my too brief comment was only referring to salyavin, saying he
was probably right that "Barry is probably chuckling to himself..." I thanked
him for his perspective because it means that I don't have to be concerned
about turq. Also I took it for myself when salyavin made the comment about
"lines on air" meaning I shouldn't be so sensitive about it all. Also I took it
for myself when he made the comment about gainsaying people here on FFL. I
think you put a lot of thought into your posts. From this incident, I'd say I
could learn something from you in that regard. I hope you accept my apologies.

Nice Share. I'll take that under advisement.

Steve, I don't mind when people confront turq one on one. But I really don't
like it when the piling on and ganging up happens. Something about that seems
very unhealthy to me, mainly for the people doing it.
Don't worry about it Share, it's their time they waste and Barry is probably
chuckling to himself over his cappucino. I kn ow him well enough to know he
loves a good tease!
Besides, after all this meditating people are supposed to be "line on air" but
for some reason they get real sensitive. Is this proof that it isn't working?
Steve has lost the plot completely recently and makes no effort to think about
what he writes, maybe he's having trouble at home and needs to escape to a
world where he can dump on someone else? I'm just speculating because if my
time here is ever reduced to simply gainsaying other people I'd realise it
wasn't working and be off to the beach!

A good question Share.
Here's the short answer. There is a time for compassion to be shown, and a
time to address BS head on.
I am bothered by the continual mis-perceptions Barry throws out here, and feel
compelled to address them.
Pretty much as simple as that.
That, and the fact that I think he is mean person, with no self awareness in
that regard.

My conclusion too, Steve. He sounds very disturbed, in the paragraph below.

I don't think I'd discount that possibility.

Oneof the reasons I speak in such a derogatory way about God-believershere is
that I figure after centuries of them putting down non-believersall the time
(not to mention killing them, burning them at the stake,etc.) they should get a
taste of their own medicine. That, and the factthat I really DO consider many
God-believers pretty much as stupid as Isay they are. :-)
Butevery so often, it's probably good to present the point of view of a more
balancedatheist who has more compassion for the idiots trying to shout him down
than I have.Consider this my contribution to FFL in this respect...
