I have definitely been a sinner to what I am about to state myself, pun intended or not, but everytime we venture into politics, religion or WOKE, things tend to turn sour. For whatever reason, we humans have a hard time dealing with these things in a rational manner. So best leave them out.

Rules should be for everyone, not just those who sit on one side of the fence, so to speak. Unless you feel 'entitled', of course.
'Nuff said.

I agree, you are the one definitely sounding entitled

Sorry that the word "church" triggered you so, thoughts and, well, thoughts

Sorry that the word "church" triggered you ..
It didn't/doesn't but the irrelevant inclusion in the context did: "after Friday's mosque, I did.." would stir the same reaction. Simple solution; keep it to yourself/yourselves.
Nearly natural progression..

Sage advice. Try following it yourself.

To his credit, he showed he could handle the teasing.  :laugh: 

Sorry, I'll try to behave.

This discussion highlights the exhausting nature of thread drift, where a helpful post about motorcycle valve adjustments was derailed by a "triggering" keyword.

What began as a technical guide for new owners immediately devolved into a hostile, irrelevant cultural debate, complete with personal insults and disagreements over moderation. While we try and give "latitude", this one has gone too far.

Remember the first rule of this forum:

1. No un-justified personal or dealer attacks.
