SONART - Please refrain from calling people "deniers". That is an intentionally derogatory term, implying "heretics". It's quite ironic that you would use such terminology on a forum with such devoted atheist users...I'm surprised they don't all take you to task for separating people into "deniers" and "true believers". I find the use of that terminology, in this context, personally offensive - because I'm a Gaian and a long-standing member of an Earth religion community. I'm not an advocate of any kind of eco-inquisition, but when environmental activists behave like they are my community ends up taking the rap & the crap for their outbursts.
Furthermore, the tone of some of your postings seems unnecessarily harsh and antagonistic to me, and unlikely to encourage others to take personal responsibility for their own "eco-footprint". Please give that some thought.

I thought this was the most intelligent thing you said, in this thread - but I'd like to suggest some modifications. How about
:
"Perhaps

Are you driving around in a gas-powered car, Sonart? It's so much easier to point fingers of blame at others, calling them "deniers" and lashing out at them, than it is to take the right actions in our own lives.
Isn't it?
