Why can’t posters like you and Rubecube engage in issues without making them personal? Why do you find it so hard to play the ball, and not the man? And if the way I engage with topics on this forum infuriates you so much, why don’t you just put me in ignore?

Why do you conveniently find it so hard to play the ball when others are doing exactly that?:

Which is not the first time in this thread, or any thread, where you deflect or vanish to avoid answering simple questions:

It was about why it would be problematic to apply criticisms of religion across the board, regardless of what ethnicity the religious people in question are. You can't steer your response towards claims obviously I wasn't making, or biases I obviously don't possess, in an attempt to avoid actually answering the question I actually asked.

Play the ball. Not the man, or an entirely different ball that you want to play with because you don't like the one that's going around. Play the ball.
Then play the victim, if you're still getting responses you don't like. But save it until then.
