Silmarien, you do a great job of refuting yourself. Saying that behaviour strikes you as "almost demonic" would be a horrible thing for you to say, but fortunately in this case it just makes you look ridiculous and proves my point for me.I didn't accuse anyone of being demonic. Without mentioning names, I said that some of the bad behavior around here struck me as almost demonic, and you asked if I had you in mind. I admitted that I did, and given your behavior since, I have seen no reason to alter that assessment.
You were the one who brought up your mental health issues yourself. I didn't laugh at you for them, but rather considered the role that these may have played in you becoming a Christian, and the role they may still play in your seeing mild criticism as horrendous abuse.This isn't a meltdown. I commented on having issues with depression, and you are weaponizing the taboo against mental health issues to further engage in mockery in order to silence dissent. This is a level of abuse I really haven't seen around here before, and now it's taken on an almost misogynist quality as well, since you're all but accusing me of hysteria for calling you out on your behavior. That's right out of the 19th century handbook on how to silence women, so if you did not mean it in such a fashion, you should consider the question of why you jumped immediately to misogynistic rhetoric. This behavior is not acceptable, and if it were a Christian using such tactics against an atheist, I suspect you would agree.
As for misogyny, that is a very serious charge, and not one you should use lightly (I notice how you slid from saying my "abuse has taken on an almost misogynist quality" to saying that I "jumped almost immediately to misogynistic rhetoric". This poorly-organised thinking is characteristic of you, and when you start lashing out at people it makes conversations unpleasant.
Fortunately, there is a solution, which is to put you on my Ignore list - something I do not do lightly. It would be impolite of me to say more, so I shall just say goodbye.
Goodbye.
