And the dumbest comeback of the year award goes to Monty (turns out that is his name). He writes:
“Your first name is very appropriate”
I can only guess means that he thinks my first name is pronounced “Lie-ah” which proves that not only is he a gigantic whiner, he can’t read either.
Monty, if you’ve got nothing useful to contribute, why bother?

If you hadn’t explained his comeback I never would’ve figured it out. Whattaboob. It would be only mildly better than a fourth grade insult if your name was pronounced that way.

Maybe he thought it was pronounced “Lay-ah” and thought it was appropriate because you don’t take any shit and are individually able… like Princess Leia.

Hmm. Maybe I will go by the pronunciation “Leia” - she is pretty kick ass. And Carrie Fisher is an atheist, if I remember correctly.
Alas, it’s Lya - like Leah (in case anyone else was confused).

Lya,
Hey, you could pronounce it as “Corbbledribbledsnapper” and we’d all still think you were normal- mostly.

Normal? NORMAL!? Take that back RIGHT NOW!

Fine, I take it back… man, give a guy a break… *sniff*

(Editor’s Note: I almost killed this for the same reason Lya killed the earlier one — too much embarrassing whining — but then I figured: What the hell. Lya warned him, did him a favor, and he bit the hand that helped. So I let it through.)
I’m so glad I’ve given you the chance to have so much fun over such an important issue - the pronounciation of a name.
Bye the way, Lya, did you do the right thing and inform your friends of exactly what I said in my comment? Did you inform them I too am an atheist? And did you inform them also, I suggested rational criticism, if performed with integrity, extends to everything, not just easy targets? Which means you have to look critically at other things… importantly, yourself.
By the way, knowing winks (emoticons) are not valid arguments. What I have noticed to date is the absence of ONE single argument against what I’ve said. But what is really so sad is, I don’t for one moment think I know it all. I would have hoped one of you at least could have pointed out why I was wrong. Instead, you quickly band together in a mindless group and make irrelevant and mindless remarks about me. Does this remind you of any other grouping Leya?
PS. Dawkins theory of Memes IS untestable and is accepted on non-rational grounds only. But I won’t demonise you over it. It’s how ALL human beings operate.

Lya is far from normal, which is why I have such a strong admiration for her.

See what I mean? Apparently he thinks that because he’s an atheist (or rather now claims to be one) we should have to post his whiny drivel. The first one was an accident, but give this, I fail to see why we should ever post his crap.

So can somebody explain what Monty’s point was in the first place?

Like there ever was a purpose to begin with.
