One of the unfortunate... one might even say... unpleasant, and certainly... disappointing conditions one can encounter in this area of enterprise; what would I call it? Communication? Proselytization? Whatever it is that I do. One of the difficult inevitables that one encounters... is when a certain class of readers... cherry-picks a statement... ignoring the context and attendant explanations already provided... in detail... over and over, and then argues against something you never said in the first place.
Now... of course... not all of the people who do this lack the intelligence to understand what got said or... are life-long prisoners of Fundie-Town Mind Syndrome. Some of them are intentionally engaged in misrepresentation. It is the nature of a troll, and the internet has trolls the way a cattle ranch has flies. Anyway... that was a long buildup, which will do nothing toward correcting the problem, and the problem doesn't really matter anyway... because most people come here with the desire to engage in the free flow of information, and... those who don't play well with others, are in a very small minority.
