Azizi, some topics of discussion have been with mankind for centuries and will never be finished - they may just lose importance. Others gain importance drastically, and I agree that cultural diversity is among these. Those of us who have grown up in a closed and apparently homogeneous culture have to adapt to global communication, which many find uncozy or even "alien". Some of us wish to isolate Mudcat from the rest of the world, and failing that, desperately try to plant their own flags wherever possible - purely virtually, not worth a cent or penny.

Dave, if you had not suspected to be "on the list", you would not have replied defensively. ("I don't know anything about any murder, I never owned a Smith & Wesson 60, I was with my wife yesterday at 3.15 pm, and anyway, he deserved it alright!") This is just for your information, not to accuse you publicly, therefore I do not see it as my obligation to find the couple of relevant threads I bothered to read. One of the titles was something like "Does militant atheism resemble a religion?", where you told us to shut up discussing while you were busy taunting each other. If you believe that this added to your good reputation, you are beyond advice. Just don't say I didn't try.
