Yeah, I don't want to be boring. My path to freethinking was anything but dull. But it did require a lot of logical thinking. Pointing out flaws in thinking isn't a bad thing. Doing it in a constructive way is always good. We grow from that sort of thing. But yeah, nothing wrong with a bit of diplomacy either. LOL :P Thanks for helping me to clarify myself and keeping me sharp! :D Thanks Lance, that’s funny. :P

I think that's one of the things that believers hate about skepticism; it requires an attention to detail which can be boring if approached the wrong way (and the wrong way tends to be the most common one, like the one stuffy old English teachers inflict on us). Sorry again for being picky. I need to hone my diplomacy! But I'm glad you understood me; skepticism is a double-edged sword (and one I've cut myself on many times and I'm still not sure I know how to wield it properly).
