Reply #5: I witnessed that one drdigi

It was like throwing a copy of Gulliver's Travels into a garage loaded with oily rags.

Whew... I gave up reading at 250 some-odd posts. It was so vicious, in fact, I considered leaving DU for a while. However, considering the hair trigger reaction a select group of intolerant, thin-skinned reactionaries have to any post about belief systems as demonstrated over the last week or so, I was able to put the madness into perspective. The whole exercise really pissed me off though.

To be honest I don't think it was the padding that made that post erupt like Vesuvius, I think it was the flamable nature of the premise of the post. I know you meant it as satire, and that's how I read it, but the gang that should have recognized the satire went insane with rage.

Five sentences, one sentence, or one hundred sentences, I don't think it would have made an iota of difference.
