I must get something off my chest: when I post and express a closely held opinion here on Agnostic.com, I try to do so in a way that's not confrontational or outrightly offensive. Unfortunately, I keep getting a few replies to my posts that "sound" confrontational, patronizing and sometimes even a tad offensive. I suppose some people just can't play nicely. The wounded child in me is tempted, at times, to pick up my toys and go home, but I've had too much therapy to let my admittedly thin skin slow me down very much. Guess I'll make liberal use of the blocking function and soldier on.
