Yes, I enjoy offending lunatic fundamentalists, but I don't enjoy offending people like Greek18.[/quote
After having read through all the comments on my statement I feel that I must respond to my fellow members.
First of all, we ARE all fellow members here on this board. I take that as meaning (even though English is not my mother tongue) that we are all members of the same organization. I then feel that whenever I logg on to this site that it is the same as attending a meeting of our organization. I belong to many organizations in my social life and never do we speak to each other in the demeanour and tone which I have received. ie...don't let the door hit you on your way out, and I want to fuck you sideways, and fuck you, and so many other negative comments. Is that how we should speak to each other at our meetings? Our logg ins? This site was not like this in the past. This is a new phenomena and I am not talking about the topic of Jesus' penis. I mean how we bash out at each other and NOT in jest, these were comments that people meant!
Now, Alex8, who after reading many of his comments in other threads as well, seems to play the role of wise philosopher, but he did have a point in saying that my new thread about our mothers and the thanksgiving turkey was in poor taste. There I stand corrected. However the comments by Spladle and Bronx and other were bashing! Is that how fellow members should respond to each other? Sure, mind you, let's get excited and irritated, ok greek18 angered many of you, but wasn't greek18 angered as well? Is it necessary to bash fellow members? Bronx told me to hit the road....ironic because she/he found me here when she/he came in Jan. 2006. Is it the goal of the new members to run off all the older ones with their demeanour?
Yes, I am offended by the Jesus thread and many of you were offended by my response, but don't I, as a member, have the right to express my opinion? Weren't many of you in your defense of freedom of speech defeating your purpose and premise by bashing out at me for freely expressing my right to speak? So, you disagree with me; members of the same organizations disagree constantly but they must do so with respect and dignity, honoring their fellow members companionship.
Alex8 mentioned that perhaps this incident will make me think things over being that I am young. Yes it has. It has made me wonder as to the current quality of this board, of this organization and many of its members. Why so much hostility for a fellow member?
Any comments? (and please do not pm me with threats and indecent comments like before)
Just voicing my opinion or should I say, just excercising my right to freedom of speech.

PS: Greece is a democracy, freedom of speech is in the constitution, someone questioned that I can't recall their name now, FYI...
