At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

True story:
I keep my cat food and treats in a separate part of the pantry from the human food at home and made the mistake of leaving the cupboard door open when I went to work.
In the cupboard was an open, but barely used bag of cat nip.
I got home to find the bag ripped open on the kitchen floor, catnip spread everywhere, and four cats rolling around happily among the spilled catnip.
Yes, last week I got home to a group of stoner cats!
Before anything else, I wonder whether what I write below could be a violation of the rule against calling out a poster.
I could get banned and that's too bad for me, and congratulations to my opponents here.
You now will no longer have someone here to remind you, Oh ye atheists, that you are all the time into evasiveness, and nothing of any intelligent thinking on truths, facts, logic, and the best thoughts of mankind from since the dawn of man's conscious reason.
By the way I am getting to know better the mechanics of communication in this atheistforums.org: still I see nothing in the big picture with atheists' words, they are all the time into evasiveness, and all hatred, anger, foul language, which is all cover up for instead thinking on truths, facts, logic, and the best thoughts of mankind from since the dawn of man's conscious reason.
See you guys all again tomorrow, though...
Here is my experience with having addressed a question to the board named “Questions for Staff” in this atheistforums.org forum:
Title of thread from Mariosep to board on Questions for Staff: Inquiry on two posts which could be against not calling out a poster.
Result:
Pages (3): 1 2 3 Next » Thread Closed, after only the first post the OP from me and another post from me, then more posts from staff members, the thread has been closed - sad, very sad.
I was not able to interact with the staff members at all, for example, I want to get a uniform unanimous definitive decision from them all, as like through a poll with them by themselves on their judgment.

________________________________
First, thanks a lot for the access to your forum; I will just take this occasion to say that it is typical of web forums to have rules, etc., but some good minds should work out what I might call all these rules, etc., etc., etc. that they be user friendly.
The way I see them in all forums, they are susceptible to be interpreted by powers that be or members of a forum, as to be violated by posters who just are into good faith sharing thoughts with other posters, with no malice of violating the rules, etc. etc. etc.
Rules, etc. etc. etc. in web forums could be similar to laws of the land, that when the government wants to get you, it is altogether within the laws etc. etc. etc. that they will get you, period.
Rules Wrote: Calling Out
Calling out specific members is not allowed. We consider calling out to be whenever someone creates a thread which is aimed at a specific member in order to insult them, complain about them, or put them in an awkward position (such as challenging their views or asking questions). Threads which call a specific member out but do not mention that member by name are still in violation of this rule if it is obvious to staff who the member is. Malicious intent does not have to be present in order for a person to violate this rule.
Threads which call out a specific member for positive reasons (e.g. birthday announcements, congratulations) are allowed. Likewise, threads which do not call out specific members, but are instead generic complaint / insult threads are allowed.

I am taking time and labor to investigate Stimbo to find out what happened to me, which made me stop posting here in a previous sojourn.
Here is one post that can be taken to transgress against the rule of no calling out a poster.

Good day, dear atheist members here in your atheists' forum, what I might call your home turf.
And I am also a registered member here, so I do have rights given to me by ultimately the topmost power here, to talk about my sentiments in this particular forum board, see text in bold in the quote below.
[Please click on 'hide' to read the continuation.]
I must commend most sincerely the topmost power that be here, for I have not been banned forever with my posting in this board at present, at this point in time.
But I am looking back to my previous sojourn here, why I stopped posting here: for it was an accident that I came back and was surprised that I saw names which look familiar, in particular Stimbo.
No, I have no feud with anyone at all, my purpose in atheists' forums as in all forums in the web, is to enjoy with others the exchange of ideas, that is why I am honestly tremendously disappointed with atheists in net forums, they don't have anything enjoyable in re ideas, but still they are affording me studies of atheists' peculiar strategy in web forums, namely, essenitially when the issue is God exists or not, they are all the time into evasiveness, and then of course they dish out for example in this present forum which allows it, hatred, anger, and foul language.
Back to dear Stimbo, it is good that her original name is also inscribed in her id block, in every post he writes, otherwise newcomers would not ever know him to be already here with a previous identity.
Again, thanks to you the ultimate topmost power here, that I am writing about my sentiments here from my experiences with web forums, and the talk has turned naturally though I did not intend it to drift to, my experiences in this present forum itself.
That is an example of existence: everything that exists, it connects to everything else that exists, so that when you, Oh ye atheists, examine existence, you cannot otherwise unless you fool yourselves with suppressing your intelligence, come to everything else, and then the totality of things in the totality of reality which is again existence, that there is the existence of God, in concept as first and foremost the creator cause of everything that has a beginning.
So, with the indulgence of the ultimate topmost power that be here, I am taking time to investigate what happened in my previous epoch here, that I stopped posting in this forum altogether - but now I am back, all thanks to the topmost power that be here.

Good day, dear atheist colleagues here, now I invite your retired staff member here, one Khemikal, for us two to exchange thoughts on what is sensory apparatus, for he is the one who brings up that term.
Dear Khemikal, let us we two talk about what is sensory apparatus by which you come to know what is existence.
You have brought up that term, sensory apparatus, so in re knowledge of existence, what do you mean by that term?
You bring up the term, so you have the right the privilege and the burden to explain what is your meaning of the term sensory apparatus.
Okay, dear readers, let us all sit back and await with bated breath to read how Khemikal explains the term he introduced into this thread, namely, sensory apparatus.
But I fear he will do a Mr.Obvious, go into non-communication mode.
And please Khemikal, do your own thinking and writing and no bringing in blind links, or quotes from the net, if you get everything from other sources instead of your own thinking and writing, then don't bother to mention them except informing readers here that according to what you read, now at this point in your very own words, reproduce what you read as already appropriated by you to be the truth, the fact, and the logic, and also founded on the best thoughts of mankind from since the dawn of man's conscious intelligence.
What I expect from atheists is that they think even just from what they read from others; but if from others, it is enough to just mention it, this way, according to what I read, no need to bring in names, and links, and quotes whatever, very important: reproduce what you read as appropriated by you, and write it in your own words by your very own writing style.
Now, if you after this you want me to explain something I write here, you can ask me also.
Okay, dear readers here, let us all as I said earlier sit back, and await with bated breath to witness how Khemikal explains what is sensory apparatus.
And I want to tell you all, that the way to detect whether someone knows what he is talking about with a term he brings up, require him to explain the term in not more than say 50 words, when he cannot do it at all, then it is conspicuous that he does not really know what he is talking about.
So, dear readers, when you read posts coming after this post of yours truly, and in the first 50 words the author does not explain, any poster, what is sensory perception, then you need not read further, no sense in joining him in further evasiveness.

Please bear with my ignorance, but I was thinking that I will be talking with staff members, are you folks here staff members, and how do plain members get to know you to be staff members?
Like this member with this description: "Milk Chocolate Bimbo Mod Overlord."
Now that I am talking with members who could be in fact staff members, may I just take the occasion to ask whether this forum, atheistforums.org, is explicitly allowing, and thus in effect encouraging on the part of posters here, the use of foul language?
Now you will say that you don't know what foul language I am talking about.
If that is so, then I will have to look up some samples which I consider to be instances of foul language, and next time I check in here I will give them to you, when I read from you that you don't know what is the meaning of foul language.
Okay, dear staff members(?):
1. My question is not answered definitively because some of you claim to not know what I am asking, though I see that to be very disingenuous.
2. Are you in fact staff members, and how are plain members to know that?
3. Why are you guys always into evasiveness, and you will ask me what I mean by evasiveness? It is close to disingenuous-ness.
I will also take this occasion to inquire, is this Stimbo a genuine staff member, he describes himself as Administrator, Prophet in residence?
Please abstain from projecting yourselves to be funny, unless you use that for a cover of your whatever you feel to be lacking in substance in yourselves.
Annex:
Questions for Staff New Thread
Have a question for AF forum staff? Post it here. Only threads you start are visible to you.
We're into evasiveness?
I thought your God was the expert at evasiveness?
All we're doing is reiterating what science has established as truth?
You seem to have an issue with that.
No need to shoot the messengers. All you have to do is to change your beliefs to be more compatible with reality.
