>I stay out of religious discussions as such. Heck, on my other forum, over here, they have a topic about chrisstmas movies which I'm not even reading (ditto for sports and almost all of showbiz topics, but that's another matter). It's when a religious discussion... what was the word... yes, encroaches on the territory of the commons, claiming it - well, I apply the golden rule and defend myself and the space. People who greet me with religious messages get theirs, and they already know it :).

>This time I was way behind, because Rick is on my ignore list ever since he heavily insulted me and refused to take it back - so I didn't know what he wrote until it was echoed by others.

IIRC correctly there was a bit of putting you among those fighting against his perceived good side by similarity of your first name to fire-spouting lizards and your posts ?

If so, might prompt a reevaluation on the hippocritic scale as there was some word play on sleeping dragons....


>I do check some of his technical messages, because for some FAQ he has the pretty much same answer as I would give, so I need to know whether I'd be repeating what he said.
