We have a new member ArtemisDivine. She is also a member of the Conservative Atheist group, so she is going to be on the opposite side of what we believe, so as as she is civil in presenting her opinion, we need to be civil when we present our side. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, just because you don't agree with it, we still need to respect it.
Let's see what civility means to a conservative. To me civility and evidence based reason go hand-in-hand.
Welcome ArtemisDivine!
So far discussions here have been very reasonably and respectful. I welcome respectful discussions with those with opposite viewpoints from my own as it helps me to gain a better understanding of my position.
I will however say as that I have mostly experienced the very opposite of respectful discussions. This happens on online forums. One specifically that was started as an "open" discussion forum but was overrun by rightwing hate leading up to and particularly validated after the destructive events of November 2016.
As a group I suggest we all work to maintain civility and respect.
Thank you so much for the welcome. I look forward to helping out my brother's and sisters and contributing to the group ?
@Seeker55 You are absolutely correct and thank you
Thanks. Good to know.
I think it is in retaliation for me posting on conservative atheist group. They rip me to shreds, so that's why I said be civil to her because she's going to post stuff to try to get a rise out of us, So I think we should be as nice as can be so she's the one that get's the rise
@MikeFlora Mikey... Why don't you be truthful. You continually post in Conservative Atheist group, hurling insults and bashing our viewpoints with no credible proof to back up anything.
I have to say that I was perfectly happy just popping in to creep your posts and comments and leaving quietly but Mikey likes to antagonize and make his presence known. You all like it nice and peaceful, don't you? I know I do. So, when Mikey decides to leave us in peace...I will reciprocate.
@ArtemisDivine What's this, you came over here to stir shit up. it's OK to bash the hell out of me, but you can't take it. You call me a liar, a criminal, and anything else hateful you can think of, insulting, sarcastic bullshit. you need to look back at my posts you people where a hell of a lot more insulting than I ever was. I gave you a long list of trumps lies, I showed you how hard repealing a amendment was, I showed you how dumb the NRA thinks you are. You don't know anything about me, when I say I have no intention of trying to repeal the 2nd amendment or trying to take anybody's guns, you call me a liar. This is the second time you people have antagonized my to the point that I fired back
@MikeFlora I have not called you a liar or a criminal. And the items you posted were not backed by any credible sources. If you have a point to make then have some reference material to back it up, sir. And do not ever take that tone with me. It is unacceptable.
@ArtemisDivine Have a nice day
