Also Paul posted without thought or care, just when you mentioned it he added in the old 'no offence' crap.
Hold on Emma... I did not post without thought or care at all... I simply made a statement that is in my book true and worthy of discussion.I did not in anyway post anything that degraded a religion or a persons beleifs.
Yes i did add that 'no offence' crap in the second post, mainly as i didnt think it was needed in the first place as we are all supposedly mature people... I decided to put it in the second post as it was by now clear some had been offended by some of the posts here.
Far too often people skim through posts without reading properly and chaos insues, as such i at that point felt the 'no offense' part was required as it was clear exactly where this was going.
As for this 'support' bit please dont include me in this, I do not support anyone above others and do not expect it or have ever recieved it in my favour.
Obviously in any forum there are certain members you converse with more than others who you treat slightly differently... but that is natural and happens in every forum (or for that matter life in general), so your problem i do not see.
As for Tom... I do think hes a decent guy and i do think some have gone somewhat overboard on this....
I also think hes a decent mod... one of the few that actually takes a stand on alot of the utter bullshit that is posted on this forum.
It will not be a better forum without him as a mod imo.
It also makes me laugh how there is such an outbreak of repulsion over a person questioning a religion... yet people are allowed to stroll about this forum insulting certain nations and there people without the slightest problem.
I see little difference...
