Mockery is a form of verbal abuse and a form of bullying. Are you arguing that bullying is a rational and logical way to handle disagreements? Logical disconnect... does not follow from statement. Please try again. You're right... but how you knew that, with the inability you show to even recognise logic is beyond me...  |

Shakespere mocked people, does that make him a hypocrite and can I just say why you insist calling us hypocrites. for you are surely guilty of it. I'm agnostic and I've gone with I don't know. To paraphrase Mark Twain, "No weapon in the whole world is more powerful than laughter." I hope you can see now. Shakespeare's mockery wasn't personal, like the mockery on this board is. There are forms of mockery that are abusive and self-serving, and that is what these forums are mostly based on. Okay, then how about Dante, who wrote his political enemies into Hell and from whom we get most of modern Christianity's ideas about Hell? If we were going to the board the original fundie posted on and ripping him a new one in front of all of his friends, that would be abusive and self-serving. As is, while the mockery we engage in here might not be terribly mature, it allows us to laugh without offending the mockee's sensibilities and is in keeping with our objective as a site: to catalogue and make fun of stupid things that fundies say. I'd say it would be more hypocritical of us to point something like this out and NOT mock it. |

Fundierefugee, you came in here and called us all hypocrites. Then, when asked to explain how we are hypocrites you threw a bunch of hypothetical examples at us and seemed to think you were above us and that explaining it to us would be fruitless. We're not the slack-jawed idiots you seem to think we are, why don't you try calmly explaining why we are hypocrites?
Oh, who am I kidding? This is just some troll who will probably be gone by tomorrow. You know what? I miss Carico, at least she was occasionally funny.

Bite your tongue! *quickly goes about erecting heathen magic wards against Carico* |

Gah! I am sorry that I have shamed myself. 1000 curses upon my firstborn if it will undo my rashness!

There are forms of mockery that are abusive and self-serving, and that is what these forums are mostly based on.Speaking of hypocrisy. Are you willing to accept your own hypocrisy and lack of logic, using the measure you've set forth, for the abusive tone you've arrived with? Or is it different because you're the one doing it? |

Mockery is a form of verbal abuse and a form of bullying. So you're going to go cry to mummy that the nasty forum are picking on you? |

I believe a Princess Bride quote can sum up what our trollish friend is trying to say.
Fundierefugee: HYPOCRITS!
Ironbite-You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I looked at your account it said "not activated", I was wrong about it meaning your account was shut down. How is that "making shit up" oh you who is insulted by other peoples swearing? |
