I really cannot say what motivates other people, sorry.

If you don't know what motivates people how can you be so sure that the insults fired your way are not caused by your rude, abrasive and name calling posts?

I cannot of course.

So your rude, abrasive, name calling posts could be the reason why other posters have fired personal insults at you?

Sure it happens, i wont hold it against you nor cast it up from the past, i never hold grudges for very long and realise that we are imperfect and make mistakes. You make it sound as if I am the only person who can be rude and abrasive. Have you visited clans lately?

I don't visit the tragedy that is the clan forum Rob.

...it has nothing to do with asking awkward questions which may be ethical or unethical. Why you should have some trouble with the idea, i cannot say.

I'm talking about when you asked me this:

"Do you ask people awkward questions face to face or is it within the relative safety behind a PC on the internet that you feel emboldened or that usual social etiquette does not really apply?"

my statement with regard to whether you feel that you are above reproach was not made on the basis of whether its ethical to ask awkward questions, this is the last time I will say it.

Perhaps, but who can say?

OK, putting your questions about "reproach" to one side. I am not above reproach. No one is. Fine. That's that dealt with.

Now, what about this question you asked me:

"Do you ask people awkward questions face to face or is it within the relative safety behind a PC on the internet that you feel emboldened or that usual social etiquette does not really apply?"

What issue do you have with the "etiquette" of asking "awkward questions"?

You've gone from 'hardly' to now 'perhaps' in a few hours.

Here's an experiment for you, try dropping the rudeness, abrasivness, name calling for a couple of months and see if the rudeness and name calling coming your way diminishes.

Ouch, being counselled by a rampant base materialist is almost more than any theist can bear, the shame of it, luckily I am humble enough to take it, ill see what i can do. :p
