Pru, thanks for your sentiment but we are all interconnected via friendships through this board, and when someone pisses us off we generally feel free to address the issue without worrying about upsetting others. SD is a big boy and can handle himself, but I do wish that a little settling-in time had taken place before the flame retardant clothing became necessary. SD, these are good people and you really should get to know everyone better (and let them get to know you) before hitting light speed. Everyone else- SD is very cool as well, and I really do think this thread has turned into a wrong foot sort of thing.

I'm going to go drink now.

Agreed.

Sorry my passion for a good debate/discussion on topic was mistaken for...I don't know, whatever it was mistaken for.

I'll be taking a large step backwards...back into the hole in the oak; sitting, waiting, watching, and listening.

On that note...thanks to all who participated.

S.D.

PS. Goulish..."Cohorts" was meant as one of the members of this group of companions...since clearly this is a tightly knitted group.

Just a clarification...

I don't think that because we might agree that we are, in and of ourselves, "cohorts" in the way you are applying it. I, for one, am only tangentally related to most of the group (both by distance and by the limited time of my participation thus far). I hope most here enjoy my participation but my participation is not necessarily predicated on that.

You could perhaps argue that we are cohorts in that many of us here have similar views on many subjects, something that attracted me (and I suspect others) to this site. That being said, I have found that alternative viewpoints are readily accepted-- though vigorously debated which may have lead to you view that the responses here are a result of the "tight knittedness" of the group as a whole. That aside, I really don't think anyone here has disputed the "rights" of an Atheist group to have a display. We are merely pointing out the "assholiness" of the content.

Since cohorts is often (and commonly) used as a term suggesting an accomplice, I can see why GD had issue with the term. But, maybe you meant the biological definition: an individual in a population of the same species.

All a matter of degree!

All things in moderation? Hmm... maybe not all things... Most things in moderation.

Including moderation. There we go.

I, for one, have found this thread very entertaining. There's nothing wrong with discussions and debates and disagreeing and having to clarify things one has said.

And I think SD that you'll find that although everyone here seems to genuninally like each other, for the most part, it's one of the most open to differing viewpoints without getting nasty message boards I've been a part of.

I'm not an Atheist.

I don't mind an 'opposing viewpoint' setup, but this is kind of like somebody standing next to the Santa Claus setup at the mall and yelling at the kids "HE'S A FRAUD! THERE'S NO SANTA CLAUS!" and then wondering why the parents are upset.
