Well due to my views on homosexuality and "gay marriage", I suppose I receive more verbal abuse than any other member, i've been called dozens of derogatory names, been sworn at, accused of bigotry homophobia, as well as numerous stupid comments on my own sexuality.

None of it bothers me too much, as these tactics always reflect badly on those who use them. We (most of us), dont come here for a shouting match, we come to put forward our thoughts for discussion. When I first came here, I was a strict atheist, but after listening to some here, especially Little Hawk, I have come to understand something about the benefits of allowing a little spirituality into our lives.

BUT...I do agree with Larry about the use of habitual derogatory name calling. When you address a message calling someone "stupid", you are not there for debate!
