That said, I didn't "insert" anything that I couldn't back up, so if you inserting the word "supposed" in there means that I'm full of shit, there's your proof.

Now to answer your questions:

• Because this is the internet, and the entire feel of this post was "funny". I don't know if you're socially inept, but typically you maintain the mood of the conversation if you're only chiming in one or two sentences.

• I'm sure he meant what he said. He was stating his opinion. If you don't like someone's opinion, you can't get all pissed off. This is the internet. (Though I guess that really means, you can get pissed off, but it won't do you any good, and you'll just look like a moron.)

• An intelligent man CAN be trusted in deciding his own beliefs. What he decides and what he professes can be, and possibly are, two separate things. The minute you can know his thoughts is the minute you can do anything other than speculate what his actual beliefs are, just like we were doing here! Notice how we didn't freak out on people who had different thoughts on the matter?

Honestly, NO, I can't see why you have a problem with two strangers speculating about someone's secrets. It happens all the time, and in many more offensive ways than one guy saying he thinks a guy is a closet atheist, and then another guy giving evidence to why it *might** be correct.

In no way does what we said sound like we're changing the facts about a him. How can two random strangers "change facts about a person" they don't even personally know?

Save your energy, and don't reply. Not only do I not care what you think, but I really don't want to have to wade through the bullshit you're going to come up with to try to seem right in response to this.

Edit: Missed one of the bulletins and it was bugging the hell out of me.
