Come on... "cultist"?

I'm sick of this. I know people have their reasons, but when they call me a "cultist," I can't help but take great personal offense.

This happens constantly, and is used as an insult, but the mods always overlook it.

Does it count as flaming? Because it hurts just as much as other durogatory words banned from this forum...

Come on. You ridicule and tear apart other belief systems on an hourly basis. If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

I think you saying "screw you" to someone (with a hard to spell name) would count as offensive......

Think about that for a second, then come back to the beginning of this thread ;)

Maybe it's your condescending attitude.

I have thought about it for more than just a second ( I do think before I post, I guess that is why I have never been banned). Now you think about this for a second, I never mentioned if he diserved it or not, what I was pointing out was that you were mistaken when you said that you never used offensive language. You do.

You have a very combative, angry, and condescending style of posting that many people find insulting.

BTW, I read the original post, he never called you a cultist he refered to the person you were quoting as a "cult leader".

In my opinion, Raysia's response with "screw you" was said in a fairly lighthearted manner. Although this doesn't fully relieve it as a flame, it does, in my non-moderateraly opinion, make it less malicious and therefore less serious.

I DO however believe that Sdaerijii was flaming, and then carried it into this thread.

I may not agree with your religion or the way you express it, but that doesn't mean you deserve to be subjected to flames.

Speaking for religion and politics is dangerous everywhere. I will include the topics about gays and nazis here. Be careful when you take part in some of these discussions beacause most often they lead to quarrels and mod's interventions.

As I see it,either you were flaming as well Raysia, or no one was..

You can sure dish it out, but it would appear you can't take it. Perhaps just leave the thread would be the best answer if you can't debate without getting so worked up, such as comments like "Screw you" because you disagreed with some one. I say if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen. I didn't see any thing (at least not in this link provided) that wen't over the top.

For a moment there, I thought the stress had gotten to them, and an "d" an "r" was in place of an "l'.
