Since I am a regular, and SVF feels I am showing favoritism to Sabro, I will put down how I percieve this.
As to the witticisms, you yourself said witticisms were supposed to be funny, and disarming to the opponent. I do not see how some of your 'witticisms' were disarming at all to those of the Christian faith, but rather it did the exact opposite. Were I to insert the kind of witticisms you were into an abortions debate, I am quite certain a few pro-choicers would have an urge to carve my liver out with a spoon (that's of course a bit exaggerated).
I also saw a lot of generalities being made, such as 'Sabro is intolerant due to the nature of his faith'. It was a generality with no reasoning behind it, and as I saw it, as simple goad. Sabro and a few others, including I also objected to these, but you SVF were quite adamant about not tiptoeing around any of our sensitivities, and Maciamo supported you in your debate style.
It was after this time that you placed an out-of-context quote in your sig, and at least I really did feel that was going too far. As to you and Sabro's fight, I have for the most part stayed out of it, only attempting to negate any especially negative generalities about Christianity, or their practitioners. What goes on and went on between you and Sabro seemed to begin in a thread that I never read, and has continued on other threads that I also do not look at so often.
The PMs I remember reading something about them, but since they are PMs, and I don't think are related to the subforum that I take an interest in, I don't see any reason for me to comment on that.
SVF, I am going to be dead straight here. It seems obvious that very few, if any other posters get into quite so many conflicts as you do. I understand you have strong views, but were I you, I would consider a change in something. As I can remember off the top of my head, you are currently butting heads with Sabro, Nurizeko, Bossel, and prior to that, with Reiku, and perhaps a few others. Others a little less confrotational, or people who would rather not simply butt heads have commented that you should change your debating style.
Sabro has to my knowledge, and excluding you, has never gotten into any conflicts with anyone, and is generally well liked. That doesn't excuse him for some of the things that he has said, and he has apologized for some of it, but in part, I saw his becoming snide as his next defense, when his objections weren't truly heard. After the generalities and 'witticisms' I thought he was doing just what most people would do, and that is to return barbs for barbs.
All that is just how I perceive it, and I thought I should be dead honest in how I felt.
