Introduction

[rexbeccarox]

Onus is on them to introduce themselves to us. In case you haven't noticed we get a lot of trolls coming through who like to tell is what we think and berate us for it.

That's we have an introduction section and that's why we encourage new people to use.

OP welcome.

As someone who has gone through this personally, I would say that if this is an accepted part of your social culture, you should have some bold-typed warning on the top of the forum that says "if you do not present with an atheist perspective and you do not introduce yourself first, you will be berated and harassed". Honestly, I had no clue and it totally caught me off guard. I'm used to having my opinions valued and to being treated respectfully and I really was very confused.

Seriously, love, we've had our share of PMs...

Why would your opinion be valued by us when we've never even met you or have never known anything about you? When you joined our community, you didn't bother to introduce yourself, and made eight threads strawmanning atheists. That's akin to crashing someone's gathering, walking up to the podium, taking the mic, averring your thoughts, and telling everyone in the room what and how they think, and then getting upset because they are angry about it.

I think you could be a really valuable member of the forum. You just need to drop the idea that anyone is persecuting you. How would you feel if someone just waltzed into your living room and told you how you are?

I'm trying to make your stay here positive...
