Should Pagans organize to protect themselves from hate speech?

Might as well herd cats and expect them to like it.

Sonic, i have to ask, why did you have the need to mention you are opposed to our various Religions? why the need to bring negative feelings into a thread about our religions? it is most certainly not welcomed or wanted.

I just don't like how everyone tries to flatter everyone else for their own benefit and hate them behind their backs, with me it's pretty much what you see is what you get.

Depending on who you ask, that's been happening for quite some time.

Well if that's how you feel like Mike said "it is most certainly not welcomed or wanted". You should just not post in thread like this if all you're going to do is be rude and hateful.

By post wasn't really that rude, I just made sure no one thought I was trying to suck up. Also people are always a little tense here in the debate section. Plus I don't hate the people here, it's just I think they believe a lie; that's what I hate. If I hated them on the other hand it wouldn't bother me at all. When I do get bitter I see it for what it is, I don't imagine to be a virtue. Still I won't pretend to be all loving and holy if I have bitterness in my heart, hypocrisy would make things worse for me. If I change it has to start on the inside or not happen at all. In my posts on this particular thread though I wasn't writing out of bitterness, it was just a disclaimer saying that I don't endorse paganism, it wasn't meant as an insult and was just the first sentence the rest of the post was about the topic at hand. Even wrote that I didn't mean offense by it in the original post, because there is no tone of voice when your just using letters.

I personally find it sad that Pagans could care less about how people see them. I'm not sure if it's because they are lazy or just don't care what people say. Either way it's a shame you can't complain if you don't do something about it, it's like voting don't complain if you don't vote. People of all religions have varied ideas Christians, Buddist, Etc. But watch someone talk down about Christianty & all hell breaks loose & people of all denomations come toghether to make thier voices heard. So whats the real reason some Pagans could care less? There has to be one so what is it?

No one is talking about going out & handing out tracts or anything so tacky. However speaking out & letting people know that the mis-conceptions that are floating around are wrong is another things.

And before someone tries to call me out about not doing something where I live, you might want to check this out.
