The great posts on this forum are like finding diamonds, to continue your dirt analogy. For every tonne of dirt you sift through you might find a diamond and that can be very worthwhile.
If you're new to this site, many of the posters here have a history with each other and respond according to the dictates of that history
You can only be spiritual for about 10 minutes at any one time so not all the posts here are as cordial as you seem to think they should be. Anyway, who says Philosophy and Religion has to be all lovey dovey? We can rip each others heads off if we want to.
If you want something special from the folks on this thread, you give us something special.
