We can never have enough sensible, attractive female Christians to help us forget about all of the dipshit male Christians we deal with.  Wink

It's like with Min.

He says some awful things on here fairly often. But we all know that's just Min's online persona as the grumpy ol' man, and we know he's a decent person irl.

Minimalist can be a dick. He's not comparable to someone who thinks we should all get AIDS, celebrates child abuse, and dismisses rape victims as liars. Not remotely comparable.

I don't know what Min is like IRL (nor do I know what anyone here is like IRL), so can't say anything there. But other than that, what Losty said.

Min's fairly in line with how the people around me are. I'm about as censored as he is, so I couldn't possibly judge him, but I definitely think he's an important member of Atheist Forums.

I think this is a bit of an exaggeration/misrepresentation.

Well then you're wrong Smile

That's an exact representation whilst leaving out the gruesome details of the horrid things he has said on this forum.

It's not to say he's a horrible person, I highly doubt he's this disgusting irl. It's just to say comparing the gruffness of Minimalist to the appalling shit that's spews from Drich on this forum is not a fair comparison in any imaginable way.

Let's ask him,

Drich, do you think everyone on AF should get AIDS?

Do you celebrate child abuse?

Are rape victims liars?

How will his answer be relevant? My representation of his behavior on this forum was entirely accurate if not a bit overly forgiving.

He has literally said he hopes we get AIDS. He has literally celebrated child abuse on this forum, and he has literally accused a rape victim of being a liar about her experience. That is not at a misrepresentation of his behavior on this forum. And exaggeration? Hardly I left out all the bile the talk of beatings, and the jerk off smilies.
