Desert Fox
Rudeness by anyone, shia or sunni, cannot be condoned.
I was not making a general statement, but was referring, specifically to the thread "Are you doing it for Allah", in which faceup posted comments
*("If you follow people like Pristine, then you will always, ALWAYS get out-dated Islam based on 'hearsays' collected by Al Bukhari in his hadiths/sunnahs which is the embodiment of Islam for the most muslims.
Folks - the Bukharis belong in the book shelf of the libraries and NOT as Source of Islamic interpretations!")*
which were not relevant to the thread, but only to hurl insult at sunni beliefs.
As I had said earlier, you have a right not to accept pillars of Islam, similarly suunis have a right to believe them based on a Hiadth. Why fight over it? Read my post in thread "Does Quran Say Islam is based on 5 Pillas?"

**On a broader note, you have 5-7 fundamental beliefs, and someone else has 5 pillars. What does it matter, huh?
All of us should just try to follow Islam to the best of your ability, gain maximum knowledge and collect enough good deeds to make us successful on the day of judgement. There is no point in discussing mundane, unnecessary, argumentive topics which lead no where.**

In the thread "Islam is based on 5-7 pillars and Nothing Else!" started by faceup, 10 different participants (including the moderator GFQ) posted that in their opinion Islam is based on 5 pillars. This simply shows that there are participants who belong to sunni school of thought.
Should we therefore keep on fighting? There is no point in shoving our belief's on others. Just present your opinion. If the other participant accepts your logic, reason and evidence, fine. If they do not, then everyone has a right to have their own opinion.
By the way, I was not asking you whether you believe in 5 pillars, because I already know you don't. What I was asking you was "However, it is equally true that Shi'as do not negate the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH), however, what they say is that they accept the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) which has come to them through the Ahle-Bayat Imams, also known as Walaiya. Desert Fox, let me know if you agree up to this part?"?
Assalam O Alaikum.
