Things don't revert to insults with me. That tends to happen along with the above -- when someone feels they have no other options. Something along the lines of, "Yeah whatever, but you're just dumb anyway/you're going to hell/I know the truth no matter what you say." But definitely, if debating upsets you, then don't do it. There's certainly no obligation.
Wrong. Yes they do Linda and honesty is a good place to start, because veiled insults and arrogance has been commonplace. Please stop misrepresenting creationists on here by ongoing attempts at discrediting people who have long since moved on from wishing to engage in circular arguments by referring to us as
"evasive" or "
having no other options". Which you do constantly, forgetting how much was presented in past posts already. Whether you agree with it, or feel it was enough, or directly answered everything is another story. That is not my problem, that is up to the readers to decide for themslves and I very much doubt they require your commentary to convince them of your bias and often unfair evaluations. More ongoing attempts at discrediting the opposition. Surely if you felt this was so, why would you need to do this?
Would you please discontinue putting false words in mouths also? I don't recall calling someone
dumb or telling them
they are going to hell and you have done this before on the creation/evolution thread with Russ and others and you were caught out there too, too easily forgetting your own condescending and sometimes snide comments on Christianity.
I ask you please to quote me where I said these things? If so, I'd be ashamed of myself and I would also like to know what was said by the opposition also, because I'm well aware of the provocations that are ommitted by you guys continaully.
So no Linda, you're definitely a party to provoking others, you just do it so much more "eloquently", but the outcome is the same.
