Jon, I don't make deals with bullies.

Further, I challenge you to point me to a thread where Praise was proselytizing rather than just talking about her faith.

If you are an honest man, you will stop insulting religion by calling it "superstitious magic" or other such epithets. It's up to you to show us just how honorable you are. It's not up to us.

You said, "I do denigrate vulgar display, questionable taste, and persistance in a behaviour others have said is offensive to them." You didn't say anything about how the offender was being treated, or what his/her opinions were about those he was offending. If you continue being offensive, you are nothing but a hypocrite. People who are only nice to people who are nice to them, or whose opinions they approve of, aren't honorable, they're just wily.

Again, my statement must stand: the Christians here have dished out far less abuse than they have received. If you don't like that, it's time for you to do something about it: namely, stop being abusive. If you find any Christians being abusive, by all means let me know. I'll chew them out too.

Civility is not an option if a community is to thrive. It is a necessity.
