Is he? I don't know. So perhaps he's a "godist".

This has absolutely no relevance to the point of my post, but allrighty then!

As mentioned in the sentence you bolded, the socialist party in which I was enrolled actually ceased to exist a few years back...so I was temporarily left without a party, lol. The party to which I belonged was something relatively generic like 'Socialist Party of America' or something. There were/are several other small socialist parties from which to choose (I think I saw a list online once), and the Green Party does claim libertarian socialism as part of its platform. But, since this isn't exactly the Eugene Debs era anymore, I figured I might as well just register as a Dem so I can vote in primaries and support people in the Bernie/AOC wing of the party. Two years ago in Buffalo, a woman by the name of India Walton won the Democratic mayoral primary (Dems outnumber Republicans in the city of Buffalo by around an 8:1 ratio, so no Republican has a realistic chance of becoming mayor in the city), and Politico responded with an article claiming that Buffalo was poised to become the first 'big city' (debatable as to whether Buffalo merits that description these days) in 60 years to have a socialist mayor. Unfortunately, the four-term incumbent won in the general election by staging a massive write-in campaign...there were lawn signs all over the city urging people to 'write down Byron Brown', and enough people did just that to award him a fifth term. I actually like Byron Brown (I met him once when I turned up at a public forum that solicited feedback on the city's bike lane plan), but he's a moderate's moderate. Walton would've been great. But yeah, it's nice to be able to vote in primaries.

Muslim. He tried that "if God is possible then He must exist" line on me. Then when he thought I was buying into it tried to sneak in a "I know what this God thinks" cringe.

What's the Islamic equivalent of Anselm's Ontological Argument?

I think this is more of personal life mess between you and whoever you are talking about.

Folks may reply with “sorry to hear that - sorry that it happened etc - but frankly speaking - no one truly cares.

And it’s not really a unique situation - almost all of us have experienced these situations on various degrees.
The forum may have storage issue if everyone made an OP every time they felt they were “disrespected”.

You coming here and starting an OP with the term “WOW” to perhaps sensationalize the moment in an attempt to seek attention? And then you call yourself an expert in mental health?
Speak for yourself.

It's not for you to decide who cares about what.

Although I don't agree with GoCardinals posts in this thread, I would just like to somewhat jump to his defense.

I've found his postings reasonable in the past. I think this line of posts in this thread is somewhat of an outlier.

So perhaps let's not all judge him by what he said here.
We all get the wrong end of the stick at times.
