Your interpretation of skeptical discourse is warped! ...As we all can see.

Crapola? ...Because I've had to warn you several times for your insults
to others? Here's a recent note of yours to Laurie Appleton...

...And then I sent you this...
The second sentence in your reply is not a flame in of itself, although
the implied intent is certainly there. However, the first sentence is a
direct attack on someone's religious belief system. One is permitted to
thump on their bible all they want to in this country. Please refrain
from these derogatory remarks in the future.
...And there was your note to Patrick Ford who tried to reason with you...

...And I sent you this...

I have to agree with Patrick. You are not arguing against Laurie's
logic, you are making sarcastic remarks about him and to his beliefs.
...And... if I may be so bold as to ask... What does any of this have
to do with UFOs? Please get back on topic.

No, Ross, it simply means that you need to be more tolerant of the feelings 
f
others.  If everyone were alike, this would be a very dull world, wouldn't 
?

Because it's here.  That's the difference between us.  Just because I may
disagree with something today doesn't necessarily mean it isn't true or that 
it
holds no value whatsoever.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I think you'd be best served if you 
oned
down your disagreements somewhat if you want to capture the imagination of
others.

Roger
***************************************************************
Ross, both Roger and I have been extremely tolerant with you. You
are apparently on a suicide mission to get booted from the UFO echo.
I warned you, yet you come back with pure sarcasm, arguing with me
for insisting you abide by the echo rules. You have ignored these
warnings. You are suspended from UFO for 30 days. Do not reply to
this in the open echo, or the price goes up to 60 days.
