Proselytizing means:
to convert (someone) from one religion, belief, or opinion to another.
Now, assuming that it's me who you are accusing of "general proselytizing":
Firstly, I am not religious, so I have most certainly not been trying to convert anyone from atheism (or secularism), to any religion (or from one religion to another), nor vice-versa, which is more than can be said for some contributors here.
Secondly, as regards converting someone from one non-religious belief, or opinion, to another non-religious belief, then the same applies. I am not trying to convert anyone to anything, however obviously I have opinions about things and where I feel that they differ from others, I feel entitled to point them out - in compliance with forum rules. Or, would that be breaking the rules, as well?
I assume that others feel free to disagree with my opinions, as I am doing here now with yours. Surely that is the purpose of this discussion. Also, I presume that if a Moderator feels that I have breached forum rules, then they will tell me. However, if you prefer, I will gladly send you anything that I propose to post in this thread beforehand, in case you consider it to be "general proselytizing" and want to censor it.
