Guys, a lot of you have valid arguments that I know I inevitably skip over or miss. If you want me to address anything that I haven't seen please send me a private message or in some way get it across to me that you want me to answer something in a specific place and I'll do my best to accommodate. It is slightly difficult to read through all the posts looking for people who are challenging my beliefs directly but I don't want to have anyone thing I am purposefully ignoring them.

I think we had one going in the Religion forum about "the paradox" of something.

Thanks, I had actually seen that one but it is going to take a bit more effort and I'm going to head to dinner in 10 minutes so I'll try to answer it in about...I don't know...4 hours, give or take.

I think it comes down to you getting involved in too many threads ... that isn't an accusation, an observation because it's exactly what I do.

There is also, IMO, a personal aspect ... although people are mostly nice to you, you are in many ways a representative of "the enemy" of everything we don't accept so you aren't going to find it easy going, no one is going to let you base an argument on assumptions unless you can provide good reason. I've been there, done that and I think it is psychologically numbing and I get to the point where I'm reluctant to return and it takes what feels like superhuman effort to do so. If that is how you feel then you have my sympathy and respect.

Personally I'd suggest you drop out of some threads (not ones you've started) with an explanation and concentrate on less stuff, if they get resolved then you can resurrect old threads as you please ... at the end of the day you're only human and all of us have limits :)
