The discussion is over. It's long over. We've given an account of ourselves, our opponents refused to do the same and insulted us to boot. We've left it at that. If the situation were ongoing, I would say you have a point. However, it is not.
I point you again to the link I posted in Talk to the Mods. If nothing else, it will explain my views on conflict in a non-confrontational way.
As to your cause, I would like some reassurance that you are upholding it for the right reasons. If you are afraid that a thin-skinned non-believer be offended at our faith and cause a ruckus, then it would seem I have a point. If you wish to protect children from the harsh reality of life, I can understand that. If you merely wish to preserve quiet by sweeping problems under the rug then I can honestly say that all with such an attitude are behaving as cowards. There are such things as dragons, my dears, and they only get bigger when we ignore them.
Not from you, perhaps, but you've rather backed me and Sierepica into a corner. For all her hard shell, Miss S is easily frightened. She has had difficulty expressing that in the past, but she's expressed it now. I would also point you to her post to get her feelings on the topic.
For all the spectators of the recent scuffle, did you even read what Pig said about us? I know the main target of his insults was me, but they were directed at you on at least one occasion. You cannot be immune to that.
I would like some assurance that all fourteen of you are acting with the best interests of others at heart rather than wounded pride and craven fear.
