The poster I responded to was anything but civil.  There is no reason to
treat him/her with the courtesy  when there was no civility shown
people in alt.atheism.

Are you a fool, or merely ignorant?  That's an honest question.  What
'tradition' would I have?

Tsk, another liar for Jesus.  Please note I didn't attack the prior
poster.  I indicated no one here was interested in his malevolent
fantasies.

Sorry, Sport, but I have no intention of being a door mat for you
people.  This newsgroup has a tendency to mirror the courtesy, or lack
thereof, of the theists and trolls who invade.

Poor sod.  So uneducated.
