I try to stay factual and don't use insults if someone disagrees with or lies about my character, but use sarcasm, derision or ridicule to attempt to set the record straight. If my conributions or questions are still misinterpreted or deleted it does not make much sense to maintain an active or passive role, does it?
Yeah, it's a strange world we live in.
You are welcome.
There is nothing wrong in cherishing the truth, but there is nothing wrong in trying to understand more of where the other side may be coming from.

Also, sometimes one may not have the need to directly use an insulting term, their speech or the way they come across can be quite negative and insulting, if that makes sense, for example when you said you use sarcasm, not a lot can take sarcasm lightly, one may feel they are being mocked, I personally do not believe this is the correct way in discussion, nor ridicule or derision.
So far I have not seen your questions or what you have contributed misinterpreted, or I may missed out, but there is no doubt it is indeed a wrong if it has been misinterpreted . And if you feel it's incorrect then you may want to contact the mods as to why a certain post is deleted, though I believe the mods have a reason as to why they did so.
Remember, we live in a world where there has always been disagreements, but regardless of disagreements we should maintain a positive attitude, a reminder to myself firstly..
However, if you are sincerely interested in learning about Islaam, i'd start of with the basics of the faith, and ask questions, you may have some questions as does everyone,you can check sections such as Importance & Etiquettes of Seeking Knowledge, Islamic History and Biographies, Islamic Multimedia etc etc.
