by one standard definition of 'proselytize'/'proselytise' your last
several posts are guilty of it.
I thought 'signatures' were generally off-topic. though I'd keep my
mouth shut, I admit though I'd be wrought up if someone advocated
Microsoft Word! but a 'blessing' from 'sky fairies'? some must have a
terrible time in flu season with all the 'God bless you!' in the air!
anyway, I agree: stop the proselytizing!
(well, except in 'signatures' where it doesn't count).

Please note that the original message by Nasrin was on a topic germane

something in Nasrin's signature that expressed his sincerely held faith.
There was no intent on Nasrin's part to proselytize or to demean
another's
faith, as Phil's diatribe does.
I tend to agree about signature lines. They can contain all kinds of
things having nothing to do with LO. Sometimes they're funny;
That would be fine . .
other
times they are informative about the writer. Phil's signature line
includes his address in Australia, which is informative, but has
nothing to do with LO. Nasrin's signature line includes a a few lines
about his Muslim faith,
Another person with low general knowledge . . again I am not surprised . .
also informative but also having nothing to do
with LO.
I pretty much ignore signature lines, and I can't possibly imagine
being offended by one, regardless of what it might say.
a Christian who loves Muslims
And there we have it - another person who has an agenda - they can't
criticise someone else for proselytising their superstitious nonsense
because they have their own superstitious nonsense . . a person who
"loves"
someone else but does not even know that the person they "love" is a "she"
and not a "he" . . clueless . .
