Isn't Raindawg's posts here really the other side of the coin from that T'vash added? Both are seeking to be be provocative just because it is fun to poke somebody in the eyes. Perhaps there is something about Dawg's post that you find manipulative or dishonest in some small way, but hey: isn't that the norm for spray postings? How is any of this any worse than the daily spew of insults and lies that we have come to expect in the Spray forum and some seem to think can rightfully spill over to other areas of the board?
The whole thing is amusing; and Spray isn't to blame. Folks just need to lighten up a bit. I mean, come on--you can have your head in spray and still be grounded in reality. Tvash's Moses comment is nothing to get riled about. I even believe in God and the Bible, and that belief didn't get shaken, stirred, or miffed in the least by his comment. I've also seen lots of pics and read lots of history on the horrors of war. And although RD's posting of those pics are enough to upset anyone with half a heart, they are not enough to get one's hackle's up to the point of being defensive.
Spray is spray, history is history, religion is religion. Everyone can calm down and let the rightous indignation ebb and flow as it will. If you don't feel personally attacked, you won't be bothered by anything on that level. If you recognize that folks are obviously upset and angered by the harm they see being done to other people, you can easily empathize with everyone else on this board.
