AW, you cannot be serious

It is tone, Laurier, that makes someone saying story obnoxious. I don't think you have that tone here, but others do. It comes across as dripping with disdain. It is palpable, much like it would be if I were to call an atheist a heathen or whatever is a rude/obnoxious, I would guess.
A little off-topic, but now you have me honestly curious. I've never criticized anyone's faIth EVER, I never would. I've certainly never called anything a "story". I've never even participated in threads that bash fundamentalists.
So why is it that if I have the audacity to object to something aw says that I find highly offensive, such as "I just want to tell people how to live" I am accused of having some sort of personal grudge against aw? You did this the other day and while it was mildly amusing, I find this reply from you attempting diplomacy with someone whom you do perceive as having criticized her faith baffling. Forgive me, but it just smacks of a double standard.
I'm sure you'll just say I have some sort of "deal", but this is an honest question.
you said u didn't believe her apology. That seemed personal. I am not sure why you are offended by my original question but that was not my intent. As I mentioned in another thread, people can rub others the wrong way and it can affect how you ( general you) view them and their posts. We're human. I have a poster, as also pm, that that was so arsey about IF that no matter what she posts, I will always respond with snark. I try to avoid her but don't always succeed and I see myself being snooty for no (current) reason.

Ftr, I don't think Laurier criticized aw s faith so I haven't a clue as to your second paragraph.
I'm not sure why YOU were offended that I said I didn't believe her apology, or why you interpret that as personal.
Let's look at the the subject title of that thread alone. Not speaking for anyone else, but here's my interpretation: Probably flammable....." tells me she KNOWS that what she's about to say will piss some people off and "..... but I'm going to ask anyways" tells me she doesn't care. That suspicion BTW seems to have been confirmed by this thread.
That first thread had plenty of responses flaming aw that preceded mine, and some more harshly than mine, so your choice to single me out for flaming her is one thing that offended me. The other was your insistence that my statements were irrefutable evidence of some personal grudge. I'm not sure why this isn't obvious to you.
WRT to my last paragraph - I know Laurier wasn't questioning aw's faith but your patient discussion of people using the word "story" just doesn't jibe with your overreaction to my comments, which is where I'm seeing a double standard.

wow. I wasn't the only person to make mention/question the reaction of you (and others as it is nt solely about you). This was not the first thread where i noticed soi asked. I'm not offended, just an observation. I wasn't picking on you. Really, I want. Really. Again, not picking on you.

I admit that I was surprised to see the new siggie...and thought she would get flamed for it. It probably wasn't a good idea to perpetuate things. I think she let her emotions get the best of her. I'm thinking we can all relate to that.

I like and respect you a lot, but I have to say that I'm really tired of people here bending over backwards to defend her repeated ass-y behavior. I think she knows exactly what she's doing and just loves stirring up the shiitt and getting all of the attention. Which is apparently fine as long as you cloak it all in the lil baby Jesus.

And I do you, but I guess I don't see it as so black and white. And maybe that's because there was a time when I was accused of some of the same things. Being called a martyr comes to mind.

Also, if you really read my posts about this situation, I'm not agreeing with all that she has said/done.

I know you're not agreeing with all she's said and done, much as I don't disagree with all of it. I have defended her and sometimes benefited from her presence here. I just think that, because she cloaks her love of pot-stirring in her love of religion, she gets the benefit of the doubt A LOT more than someone who is just pot-stirring. At a certain point, pot-stirring is just pot-stirring. It gets tiresome and people aren't as willing to give the benefit of the doubt anymore. I think that's where she is with some posters on this board, including myself.
