"some atheists seem to think that they have a right to be more insulting than other people. Which is m/l what the subject of this thread is about." (emphasis mine)

Right, the thread took two most widely used (accidental if you would prefer, though only in the sense that it is not supposed to be offensive in both cases) insults, and said that we should create a list of quick reasons why they are innappropriate, with the intent of increasing empathy and reducing offensive given here. One was about theistic belief, the other atheist.

Reconcile THAT with the notion that this thread was about me thinking I have the right to be more insulting than other people. Go on, I dare you.

Personally, I see no similarity between "list of quick reasons why they are innappropriate, with the intent of increasing empathy and reducing offensive " and "have the right to be more insulting than other people" , so I will take some convincing. I know what I started this thread about, and it was NOT, in any shape, an insult. I am trying to reduce flamewarring here by many methods, and I would like to hear why you think this is about me insulting people.

The other interpretation of your post is that this subject was about me trying to stop some atheists from bieng too offensive, in which case the choice 'atheist' is incorrect, as it was meant for no single group.
