You are being INCREDIBLY condescending right now.
....snip....
I hoped that this forum was above the other forums on the internet but it's apparently full of the same old internet trolls and condescending people who feel they are above others because they may have been somewhere longer.
- No. I was being friendly and helpful.
- I regret that you misinterpretted my intent.
- I regret that you call me a "troll" and "condescending" in response to my light-hearted welcome.
- I regret that your interpretations have biased you against one of the more pleasant, intellectual, and well-managed forums that I've had the pleasure of taking part in (even though I've only been here a short while - counter to your assumption)
- I do NOT regret suggesting that you broaden your mind in any regard, as broadening our minds is why we have well devoloped cerebral cortices, language, and it should be a (or the) main goal of all people at all times.
- I do NOT regret suggesting that you have (psychosocially) a "thin skin", as you have proven me correct.
- I DO regret seeing one who is seeking knowledge be scared away so easily
...and thus I offer my hand a
third time. Welcome aboard the Religious Education Forum AndyLc.
