alright, i'm sure that people are going to dissagree on this...

you shouldn't personally attack a memeber. attack their cause, their belifs, but not them.

yes, the voice tone can't be conffered. smileys are sometime inadequet. ::sarcastically:: just makes it too obvious.

but i've made it work. you have to be blantenly obviously going agains all previous argments, with 'of course' ' it simply must be' s in it.


here's an example, from the god thread.

of course.  how could i forget? it had to be god who created everything, because of a book called the bible. which just happens to be written by people hearing god. how could i have belived that everything in the world came from a big bang? i mean, it's faith. people get this feeling which they call faith, and rely upon it.  how could i have missed it? of course some guy was just there and just happened to create the entire  universe. it's so obvious now. This guy just happens to be all powerful yet he need mortals  to help him. and there just happens to be someone that defys him, but he, being allpowerful, does nothing about it. this wonderful guy, capable of anything created the world. in doing so he also created disease. and what wonderfuldisease it is. and good poeple,  once struck by disease, he, the  good, kind, all powerful decides to save them. because he can. wow. i think i'll go to a church right now and convert. how was i sooo mistaken? how could i have questioned it so? i mean, there is no possible way it could be wrong.

that got through as sarcasm.
