Oh! Do we get to turn this thread into a new and interesting discussion on proper conduct, hypocrisy and mocking?

No, but you can turn it into a thread on cheese. Mostly because I want some right now.

I like Brie, but to be honest, not enough people eat the rind, and I find that insulting to the cheese.

Damn. We need a good discussion on Flyting.

I get that people need to vent if someone was really irritating. I just don't like the way it's being done here. I think that the way it's been done here is not a good way. I find it discourteous and that bothers me in people I respect.

anything i have said here towards said member i have included and told directly to said member. i have worked very hard not to say something behind one's back if i am not willing to say it to their face, or have done so already.

i do not understand how you saw this as discourteous and would like to understand.

@Tea - i think that idea would be rather interesting. particularly if it were expanded to cultures, religions and personal paths and the differences between appropriate and inappropriate defaming.

That's pretty much what I had in mind.

Then we have no quarrel whatsoever.

o_O I think you misunderstood me. You did it the right way in my viewpoint.

Could be interesting, especially since some of the Curses I am familiar with are incredibly polite.

I think many of you would find Randi's board amusing. There, you would be the bunnies.

Quite the hardboiled set over there, if you want a bracing discussion about objective reality.

I somewhat doubt that. Randi has no room to talk about my theological traditions.

Upon rereading the link, I'm inclined to answer "no". It seems you are misapplying the term Fluffy.

Oh, he sure does. They love talking over there about how the supernatural fits in with objective reality. In that sense I was using "fluffy" as shying away from intelllectually rigorous debate.

"Fluffy" as I understand it, is a combination of extremely subjective beliefs, an ignorance of history, a make-it-up-as-you-go-along approach that often combines religious elements from disparate cultures and an unbalanced view of light/dark, spirit/material. Except for the latter, I believe I qualify.

I'm a little confused as to what you're asserting here. Are you calling yourself a fluffy bunny?

Are you calling us fluffy bunnies? Or are you asserting things about that other website?
