I really try my best to be cordial, polite. And charitable.
Sometimes I do lapse. I don't want to make excuses.
Do you consider your religion's rules to apply to your online behavior here?

Too bad they don't have a dickhead atheist forum. Imagine the real conversations to be had here if the fluff blew away.

@Deb-8-a-bull
I meant watching them, not doing them.
I have no idea why but you just strike me as someone who would like Rash and Supa's rap battles.

Yes, not that I always live up to them. (^8
I try not to take an attack personally and forgive others as I have been forgiven. But I'm also fairly blunt in my discourse. I say what I believe without filtering it enough. With some people, it is hard to have a good dialog with. They make it personal. After reading some of their replies I usually get a sense of whether someone is asking or taking a question seriously or not, and with respect, or not. And a lot of the time there is baggage and emotion that is infused into a belief.
There is also a principle that I often follow and you may think it contradictory but it is not. I use it when someone is not serious quite often in their answers. What I do is I paste their response in satire to highlight the consequence of such thought. Here are the principles:
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him.
If you answer someone in a foolish way you become like them. Your answer reflects the same behavior.
Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes.
When the worldview is not giving a clear and reasonable answer to a question I satire my answer to highlight its nonsense or inability to make sense of itself. So, in this way, you show the foolishness of what was said by the other person.
For instance, someone says, "There is no truth." I then ask them if that is true. What happens is that they have made a self-refuting statement in that it undermines itself. For the statement to be true it would be false because they are denying what they claim by the statement. They are claiming at least one statement is true, that besides this there is no truth.

I'm curious. I mean, we're just typing a bunch of words on a screen. It's not the same as your real life actions. Or talking to someone face to face.
Even though it is not as good as a real-life conversation what we say does to an extent reveal our beliefs and who we are.
2 Corinthians 10:11
11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.
But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.

Nope, they apply. In my case, I break the rules rather often unfortunately. No man is without sin.
