Sorry if I was actually misremembering it! I seemed to recall it being a lot more... vitriolic. May be confusing it with some other occasion.

That said, I think you're justified in believing whatever you want to believe. But at the same time, I think if your view is that you're going to believe what you want to believe and not give a damn if it ruffles some feathers, you can't really complain that much if people yell at you for ruffling their feathers. Not the harassment obviously, that's beyond the pale, but if you say you don't care about believing something unpopular, you can't really complain about it being unpopular.

I also think you're wrong in principle, in that I think pretty much all religions are hugely flexible in practice and can mean incredibly different things in different contexts so it's really hard for me to give credence to the idea that one group or another is not truly representing the essence of the religion. I tend to read that more as just being disagreement about what the religion is, not about one group understanding True Religion and the other group not. But that's not really central to the point about rudeness and all of that kind of thing. I mean, who the hell really cares if I'm right or you're right.

My point was that yes, I knew my view was going to annoy a few people, and yes there was probably going to be an argument in that particular thread.

Because I am not a fucking idiot.

I came in fully prepared for an argument. What I didn't prepare for was NINE FUCKING MONTHS OF HARASSMENT. My reluctance to say anything in this thread was not because I was afraid of an argument, I was afraid of NINE MORE FUCKING MONTHS OF HARASSMENT.

If I sound like I'm a little peeved with you, it's because I am.

Sure, and as I've said, the harassment's clearly wrong and anyone who does it is a shithead.

You made a choice to respond to the thread, and you made a choice to respond to the anon asking you for more information. It's ridiculous for you to get peeved at them when instead of staying out of it, you chose to get into it. It would've been very easy for you to just skip the thread altogether, but instead you decided to get involved, and now you're acting like someone else twisted your arm.

Right, I'm angry at them asking for more information and not them completely mischaracterizing the original argument from last year and implying I am an idiot who legitimately didn't think my controversial views that I knew were controversial would cause controversy. That makes perfect sense.
