My point is that I see all sorts of offensive things there and I have no interest in posting there.  You guys twist that however you "want."

 I have never taken the time to read the blog. I simply enjoy the discussions due to the array of opinions. There I might find Catholics who are pro-choice debating Atheists who are pro-life...Agnostics arguing against Deists...Jews who defend Catholicism against Pentecostals...and Congregational Lutherans seemingly prepared to throttle regular Lutherans over differences of opinion as to whether the pope is to be properly considered the Anti-Christ.

Further there is even a member whose religion is Socratic, some who claim to be Noahide, some Maronites, Muslims, and even a Jedi... It can be very interesting to observe all of the different and diverse takes on religion...to discover where the various allegiances are...to discover concepts that seemingly trouble some while not others...essentially it is the best sort of philosophical playground I have yet discovered...

That offensive subjects arrive on a non-stop basis is precisely what I enjoy about the site...as such a diverse group discuss these topics with no shortage of different opinions...disagreements are constant...yet for the most part the discussions are very civil. The respect for the varied opinions is very encouraging...it provides a platform for dialogue that otherwise might not be truly possible in person...and while I would have potentially enjoyed your participation, I completely understand why you might choose to abstain...
