You're a little slow getting your mail or something because you just tacked on a reply on a dead thread, your reply stating that you wanted the thread to die. > Also, I would like to point out that we don't see this much vitriol when a > commercial spammer posts something.

I, for one, find the atheists soap box just as > grinding and irritating as everyone else's soap box. That said, Who's preaching atheism ?!
