[QUOTE="Belen, post: 2647592, member: 1405"] That is because it is an attack. If someone posts "Have faith. That helps me deal with stress." And then you want to counter that with "Faith doesn't work. How can that help?" Then you are flinging a personal attack against someone. The more constructive statement would be to tell the person what works for you. Not to "counter" another poster. It is not a contest to find out who is right. Also, just because someone throws a generalization does not mean they that are flinging a de facto insult. A lot of people would say "milk does everyone good." It does not because some people are allergic, lactose intolerant or get gas, but for the majority of people, the statement would be true. The person who loves milk is not insulting those people who do not or cannot drink it. Posts about how 2nd edition sucked annoys me. I liked 2e. I usually do not respond with a flame because I'll have a bunch of 3e fanboys jumping on the bandwagon and then I will pee off p-kitty and Henry. The more I read your argument, the more it sounds as if you're offended that anyone has religious beliefs. You blame someone for offering comfort to another person, then get mad because you cannot "counter" their argument. The problem is that the other person was not arguing his point. If you find it annoying that some people have faith and are not afraid to hide it, then you have the option of "ignoring" those people. This way, you do not have to see their posts as they have the potential to offend your beliefs. Personally, I do not want to live in a world of Goodspeak and Badspeak where certain thoughts are not allowed because they make people uncomfortable. [/QUOTE]
