Well, I'm also reading that book that was mentioned either on this thread or another secular one, 12 steps on Buddha's path. In the context of looking at things through a compassionate lens, I think a lot of BB thumpers really feel they've found the Way, and they want everybody to be on it. Like you, ananda, there are days when it rolls right off my back, and other days when it feels like I'm being spit on or something. Feeling spit upon is NOT a great way to lure people to your the Way!
DK, I don't think your response was over the top... that was straight-up troll behavior.
