By the calendar system I go by, it is now a new year, so I would like to propose a toast. All over this earth in 2014 people have been harming, oppressing, & murdering one another for believing different things about gawwd and lacking belief in the claim of gawwd. Yet in my short time moderating the forums I've watched most of talk to each other mostly like adults. To all of you, whatever your position on the claim of gawwd, I sincerely thank you for shining example of dignity in a very dark year.

Happy New Year Ellie (and Co.)!
I am relatively new to the site, and have thus far enjoyed the mostly constructive debates and exchanges with the other members.
Hope you don't mind a non atheist (Christian) chiming in every now and again :-)
Discussions rarely become exciting in a vacuum or echo chamber, without people such as yourself, there would be no reason for the debate room. You have my respect, sir, and I hope to have many exciting and adrenaline-fueled disagreements with you in the future. I hope the new year finds you well, and you find the year just as well.
Thanks, Travis. And Happy New Year to you!
Sorry you are catching flack for being a decent human being. I didn't take the comment as "schmoozing" at all.
The alley cat indeed has his nubby little claws out...lol.
Meh, it is near impossible to take alleycats' insults seriously, considering the source.
L'chiam one and all.
happy new year Ellie and family.
Happy New Year. :)
Thank you for the kind words, I haven't been here very long, but I shall endeavor to be an example of the quality and dignity of this wonderful place.
Have a great 2015 Ellie : )
Happy new year to all! I must say that this is a very enjoyable and time-worthy forum/community! I have learned a lot of things from it.
I hope everyone has a very good year!
Thanks Ellie. I know from experience that being a forum moderator can be a thankless job, so we appreciate your troll-control efforts.
To one and all - Here's to a great new year of arguing, smartass comments, and maybe even the occasional insightful post. *clinks glass*
And the answer is: "No, sorry. You can't get away with a none debate topic."
yep, it was only a matter of time
Nah, no one cares as long as they receive a reach-around. :}
